yes ... pretty awful! The toronto game in toronto was a great game but most games suck.

The game tonight may be a great one. OKC is the better / healthier team right now and GS is at home and super desperate.

The Cavs had to help the poor Raptors win at home by not playing their usual defensive method, plus the Cavs shot half of their FGA from the 3 ball line in both games in Toronto (41 shots from 3s) .. The Cavs never showed they were a 3-ball shooting team throughout the regular season games

this response is wrong on so many levels ...

Cavs lost in Toronto because Toronto is an excellent team especially at home.

Cavs were 3rd in the league in 3PAr this season and have led all playoff teams by a lot in 3PAr.

I believe thas the draft where everyone had Westbrook being selected around the 6th to 8th pick,
but the Seattle Super-Sonics seen another Gary Payton in Westbrook to pick him with their 4th pick.
The Western Conference postseason games are to PHONEY. OKC will let Kanter get playingtime in the 6th game to win the series .. The Warriors are clueless of how to win against Adam/Kanter/Ibaka rotation.

Well the Net-Work got what they wanted .. the 6 games from each of the conference finals teams.
Could Lebron-Cavs SWEEP the Toronto Raptors in the playoff? YES! YES! YES! All-Day Everyday!
The Cavs DEFENSE is outstanding! Lebron James personally took time-out to teach JR Smith how to play DEFENSE .. from last season to now i been watching JR Smith defensive-performance help the Cavs force opponents to make 3 to 5 turn-overs per game .. JR Smith never did that on the Hornets, Nuggets, or Knicks.

didn't toronto already win 2 games?

In Toronto the Cavs shot 41 3s in each of the games
The Raptors EMBARRASSING LOSS in Cleveland the Cavs shot 20 3s that game when Cavs had a 30 point lead early in the 3rd qtr. the Cavs couldve shot only 3s in the 2nd half of the game SMH

Put that right .. if a Cavs teammate is hot hitting 45% from 3's then coach Lue and Lebron let them shoot.
u did not see Love or JR Smith shooting 3-13 at halftime like they did on their previous teams

I hope OKC can close it out in Game 6. I have a sinking feeling we might some of the worst officiating of the playoffs in that game though. This has a Sacramento / Lakers 2002 WCF game 6 feel to it. Does anyone remember that game? Sacramento was poised to dethrone the Lakers, but the refs for that game were some of the worst I've ever seen.

Donovan knows what he's doing. I expect he'll go loooong in game 6. Guy won national titles and his best players were Horford, Noah and Miller. Not shabby but not Karl Anthony-Towns either

I have really liked watching them play throughout their lineup. Roberson has been impressive with his energy; waiters is actually contributing for the first time in his NBA career. As a whole they're like a wild pack of spider monkeys (Taledaga nights reference)

Your not following bc the Cavs are a defensive team that shot 37% from the 3 ball line in the regular season, which made the Cavs one of the closes teams to the GS Warriors 41% shooting this season from the 3 ball line.
I guess ur not ready for Lebron to win the Title .. Well he will in the FINALS .. Cavs in 6 games

No way OKC recover from that complete collapse.

Durant's play tonight maybe the reason OKC doesnt win the whole thing.

He still defers too much to Westbrook at times and gets passive. Durant might do better on a team where he doesnt have to share the touches with a dominant player like Westbrook. The Lakers are rebuilding, but that would be a place where I believe Durant could thrive.

he took 31 shots and many of them were bad ones. Something about these two guys that just don't click 100 percent.

Durant really messed up down the stretch and Westbrook was a bit out of control though he is a super freak.
