I'm talking about the chances the Cavs win the 'ship, so not sure what other thread you're referring to.

No, they do not mean the same thing. One of the best would indicate above average. One of the worst would be below average....pick one

Maybe you should be more clear about your opinion when utilizing the English language so that your statements aren't so open to interpretation.

I'm not going to take the time to explain 3rd grade English to you. Good day!

Anyway, enough pwning sleeper on his failed argument. How do you all feel about game 2? Do you think the Raptors keep their same defensive strategy, or will they try to pack the paint this time around and dare the cavs to beat them with their outside shooting?

Agreed, clowning him so hard is getting stale. Like pwning Skyhook, Rock, etc...

I think Raps best best is to pack the paint and pray our shots don't fall. Also, I hope the refs won't let them being pieces of garbage like last game and keep the game from getting too chippy.

I think Toronto about has to pack the paint. Last night wasn't a case of Cleveland being hot or anything like that, where a team could say "They got us this time, but over the long run, we'll take our chances we'll be better more nights than not.". That was a game where one team just straight-up took the ball and pounded it down the other team's throats over and over and over again.

To the degree a person about had to sit back and think "C'mon guys, those Toronto players have families, you know? THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!" You get beaten like that and you about have to switch some things up, unless you literally have nothing else you are remotely proficient at doing.

I think Toronto goes a notch more physical all about the court...see if refs will allow or Cavs react.

Tougher game. Cavs by 6

I figured the whistles would be out early this game, since there were no whistles last game.

Toronto is terrible. Cavs will be 12-0 heading into the finals.

I could be completely wrong here, but 2 games in a row it's almost looked like the cavs want derozen taking those mid range shots. They haven't fought through screens super aggressively with him and they've given him some open looks where they almost back off. Not sure if it goes back to Lue before for the series saying just don't foul him or lowry because that's where they get their points or what. Again I could be completely wrong but it was the 2nd game that I was just thinking, man they seem to be inviting that shot from him.

Kyrie just continues to play incredibly good basketball. He's not over dribbling or turning it over and he's fining guys for easy looks. Lebron is living in the paint. And we harped on Lue, rightfully so, during the regular season, but damn his decision to move lebron to more minutes with that 2nd unit has been a brilliant move.

Would love to keep seeing Warriors and Thunder beat up on each other for 7 games until we get there.
