Playoffs Round 2: Game 4: Raptors (1) at Cavaliers (4)!

I Don't want this to be the final post I write this season. Stay alive Raptors. Let's do this..

• LeBron James is an absolute beast. There's really no other way to say it. We should all be sure to cherish the fact that we are seeing him do incredible things as they happen. That being said, The Raptors need to find a way to neutralize his scoring ability or take everyone else out of the picture. Otherwise, this season is done
• Masai Ujiri was fined $25,000 by the NBA for walking on the court and confronting a ref about the officiating. That's a President of a Basketball Club ladies and gents
• Fred Van Vleet was inserted into the starting lineup in replace of Serge Ibaka. Though the Raptors got off to a slow start, the minutes seemed to pay off down the stretch

The Band - "Look Out Cleveland"

It's a Canadian group lamenting about Cleveland. Kinda like what we got going on in this game.

I don't understand how people cannot enjoy The Band

Vodka Red Bull

Frig I can't stand the smell or taste of Red Bull but it does give you an energy boost. That's exactly what the Raptors need right now. Ram this game down their throats and stay alive!

Cavaliers lead series 3-0!

Playoffs Round 2: Game 3: Raptors (1) at Cavaliers (4)!

Well things are pretty grim around Raptor world these days. It's the playoffs though! Have to believe! Pull out all the stops! Take no prisoners! Raptors in Cleveland for game 3!!

• Raptors need to either find an answer for LeBron or let him go off and take care of his supporting cast. Can't have LeBron, Love and Jeff Green getting whatever they want.
• Serge Ibaka is missing. It's a fact. Dwane Casey needs to either figure out a different starting line up or pull Ibaka quicker if it's clear that the same woes are befalling him
• I said last game was a must win. Tonight. We. Must. Win.

Cavaliers lead the series 2-0!

Playoffs Round 2: Game 2: Cavaliers (4) at Raptors (1)!

Sorry about missing game one. Had an old friend in town and was in no shape to Raptor Track! Raptors took care of the Wizards in 6 games, but dropped the first game of round 2 to the Cavaliers! Gotta get this next one at home!!

• Raptors led for the entirety of Game 1 in regulation time. And lost by one point in overtime. Must clean up turnovers, take care of the 3 point line and make your free throws!
• Where the Raptors have a deep bench and used it on Tuesday night, the Cavaliers kept their bench short. Larry Nance Jr, Cedi Osman and Jose Calderon all failed to see court time
• Raptors need to get this one. It's dangerous to go down 2 heading into Cleveland. Early start tonight 6pm!
