I think it was impressive already.. I mean I don't know how much more you can gas him up for what was ultimately a losing effort, but everyone who watched them play could see that other than Bron's brilliance they were largely outplayed as a whole by both Indiana and Boston. Love killed Toronto, but those other two series it was like LeBron and then the next 5-6 best players were on Indy and Boston. They should have lost in the first round, that was a horrible matchup for them and on the series Indiana outscored them by like 6 or 7 points if I remember right. Also would have likely lost to Boston with Hayward or Kyrie back, and maybe still if Boston would have shot better in the last game, I think the fact they made it as far as they did already makes it pretty damn impressive.

Yeah sometimes I forget OS is pretty reasonable b/c on FB it's just floods of "L36Bron James is a fraud!" "Kobe would've never missed those FTs" and all that stuff...lol.

Now that LeBron is no longer a member of the Cavs, I will enjoy these shots at his legacy and will enjoy him missing game winners.

I will not enjoy him coming back to Cleveland and running a train on the entire depth chart but I need to find little nuggets of comfort as we crash to a 26-56 record and the first overall pick next year.

I thought the Cavs had their pick this year if its in the lottery or top 10 or something.

Yup I just realized it’s our pick and it’s top 10 protected. I was thinking it was the Hawks’ top 10 protected pick.

Yeah this offense is going to take some time. They are getting good looks but no rhythm. I would caution it would probably best to judge Boston O rating from midseason on because it will take some time my guess in the 1st half they will probably be average or worse.

I am 2 and 1/2 quarters away from jumping off the “everything will work itself out in time” train if this performance continues.

It's interesting how certain teams struggle to gel or appear to be struggling (Boston and Lakers to an extent) and others appear to click instantly like Toronto.

To be fair, Toronto didn’t really change all that much. They basically just swapped DeRozan for Kawhi and Kawhi has been their isolation scorer. Half the Lakers roster is new and they have 3 new starters. Boston is obviously much different with Kyrie and Hayward as well and have almost too many options to try and mesh together in a short time.

OKC vs Toronto might be a good comparison though. Although Westbrook has missed some time.

Blake goes 4/5 from 3 again??? Since when did he turn in to the best 3 point shooter of all time lol. Shooting that **** like it’s a lay up line.

Celtics and Raptors are both basically incorporating two new players, even though Kyrie played a lot last year with Boston. It's really not as simple as just saying Toronto basically swapped DeRozan for Leonard, cause Danny Green is there too and they got a new coach, who I assume is running a different system than Casey did.

Kyrie looked high as **** when he was shooting those free throws.

I missed the game tonight but he's a big proponent of dribbling into threes from the top of the key. As long as defenders give that up I reckon he'll end up doing alright for himself. Not sure 80 percent is sustainable though, haha.

RWB/PG a combined 12/42. And both sitting on 5 fouls. That team is still better without Melo tho ... probably.
