Re: 12/2 - 12/8 Games Discussion Thread

^Raptors just seem scared at times of facing big name guys. Lakers suck, but it's like when they see Kobe Bryant on the opposing side, they just froze. Same with Heat. Raptors have stronger team than Miami, but when they see Wade and Bosh on the opposing side, seemed like guys froze up abit defensively.

Which is what made the Cavs game a few weeks ago so surprising cause that was really the big reason why Raptors beat Cleveland, after the first several minutes in the 1st quarter, they stopped being scared of Lebron and actually took charges with him running right at them(specifically Lowry,which made it crazier,cause Lebrons like 8 inches taller/70 pounds heavier!) , and forcing turnovers from him and all that.

Completely understandable too, young new team facing a team that's been to the Finals 4 years in a row can be intimidating for sure. As good of a basketball team Toronto is, they'll have to wait for the Playoffs to grow mentally, there's no way to rush that. And if things keep going this way they'll finish with a top 2 seed and have a real chance of going far.

On LeBron, he really doesn't like being challenged. Noticed this especially in the last 2 years with Miami. Whenever a player goes at him or doesn't just bend over for him (pause) it takes him off his game. Can't do that with Miami or Chicago I feel like. Wade is the type of player to play better when challenged. Tomorrow will be a good test for you guys to see how far each team has come, even though it's just an early season game.

Pretty much me this year watching Miami. We'll make the Playoffs easily but we're missing a third player. We don't even need a LeBron, just a third guy to give us 16 or so a night. Wade and Bosh looked great last night, at this point if it came down to it we'd be the 4th best team in the East behind Cleveland, Chicago and Toronto. (not in that order) I think we can beat any of those teams on a given night, and in a series we'd have the best chance to beat Toronto I feel.

But man it's hard to watch them after the luxury of the last 4 years lol

Not saying we're better than Toronto, but we match up better with them than Cleveland or Chicago.

No love for the Wiz who just beat the sneakers off the Heat?

Pelicans actually on national TV tonight. This will be the day Davis has a bad game. Anyways, Curry should go for about 50 against the Pelicans' guards.

That was our worst shooting night of the year so far. They're good, probably either a 4 or 5 seed, but they're not getting past Toronto, Chicago, or Cleveland.

They got by Chicago last year relatively easy... They are better this year than they were last year. We'll see about Toronto. I'm not nearly as high on them as others. I don't think they will go that far this year either.

Marion has an ugly 3 point shot.

Do the Knicks only play well during national TV games? Every time I've seen them, they've played decently. How are they 4-15?

Re: 12/2 - 12/8 Games Discussion Thread

Cavs gotta find a better way to get Love more involved through the natural flow of the offense. Forcing postups isn't the best way of going about it.

He also isn't finishing at the rim as everyone is use to seeing a lot of whistles blown to make sure he gets his stats.
