Jiggs50 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I cheer for the Raps a little. Canada's team and all but I have a question for some of you guys. Do you really believe the Raps have any chance in this series? Or is it just all fandom. I got Cavs in 4 btw lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Raps need to be better defensively! They need to calm down and take it one play at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to the paint, you were going to meet Ibaka there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cavs are great offensively but they have problems defensively. Ibaka has to be big on both ends of the floor. If he delivers and Powell, JV, DC all contribute offensively and Tucker and Patterson step their defensive intensity up while nailing some shots with Lowry and DeRozan do their thing, they have a good chance of stealing the series. It would have to take a team effort but it's possible. Hanging around right now vs LeBron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Lebron and Kyrie are honestly just toying with the Raps. They hardly look like they're trying. This series aint look fair #sweep Sucks for the Raps cause this is the best team they have ever had and it happened during Brons era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanging around right now vs LeBron They showed up quite well defensively today, which I suspected they would start doing as the rounds got deeper. 26 point lead heading into the 4th made up mostly during garbage time, solid outing by them today. The raptors as a team have to play better if they want to stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you watch the Warriors, and Cavs these guys just play, and have a set play every once in a while or in a big possession.

The 2011 finals where the Mavs shutdown Bron is credited to Casey and the Mavs coaching staff. So... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 LeBron and Kyrie didn't even look like they broke a sweat today. Raps need to tighten their defence up and need to start next game on the front foot. Once you get ahead, you have a shot of winning the game. That's what we have to do the rest to win the series. Cavs are great but their defence can easily be exposed especially in the transition. Everyone will have to chip in and Patterson, Ibaka, Powell need to knock their open looks down to keep it close. I wouldnt mind seeing some Poeltl and Siakam during games. DC and JV need to step their game up to the next level. Kyle and DeRozan have to keep bringing it and nailing their jumpers and stay with LeBron and Kyrie. It was more of a scoring game today and we need to tighten up defensively and put some trapping on these Cavs every inbound. There's a chance to win this series as long as we play to our strengths which is a defence first mentality. Go Raps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
