    I don't think it really matters honestly. It's quite clear they are over matched and have no business being the same court as the Cavs.

    Poetl makes no sense. He's absolute trash.

    Obvious statement is obvious.

    JV is destroying them, but I think they're ok with it. They're shutting down Derozan and making someone else beat them

    So Love (and to be fair, Lowry) get T'd up for essentially fucking pouting, yet that foul on Lebron was only a common foul? LOL

    Lebron casually drops 39 and nobody blinks. Also nice to see Kyrie with 11 assists.

    Had 10 dimes in Game 1, too. Love that.

    Nice two blowouts, couldn't ask for much more. Now let's get a win in Toronto and then close it out at home (or just sweep i guess).

    39 on 14 attempts...yeesh. Efficient.

    LeBron, TT, Frye and Shump a combined 26/36 and totaled 80 points.

    Is that efficient?

    Solid from start to finish.

    Go Cavs.

    Anyone still think this isn't a sweep?

    Bipolar JRS remembered how to play defense, or most likely didn't care to in the regular season.

    You would hope after last year, the Cavs will know exactly what to expect out of Toronto in their arena. If Lowry isn't 100% there is no excuse to not sweep. I am waiting for Dwayne Casey to bitch to the media about the refs, which will play a role into game 3. It's been a pretty standard formula for every team that has been down 0-2 agains the Cavs.

    Standard formula down 0-2 to Lebron is to end up going 0-4.

    I don't think being in Toronto is going to turn blow out wins into losses. Games may be closer but did anyone watch Lebron last night? Absolute savage.

    It did last year, but I don't think the Cavs expected that type of home effort from Toronto, plus Biyombo played out of his mind for 2 games.

    Lebron. Savage.

    No Biyombo. Ibaka has been underwhelming and Derozan can't score.

    I'd be very surprised if this goes past 4 games.

    He is trolling hard this series. There is something that got under his skin.

    “I know sweeps are hard to get,” Korver said, “but these guys have been doing that, and it’s like they want to sweep so they get that week [off between rounds]. Having that thought in their heads – ‘If we sweep this team, we’re going to have that time off’ – not many teams go into a playoff series thinking that. You’re just trying to win the series. But they were like, ‘Trust us.’”

    I'm betting it's the latter. Still waiting for 1 of those hot JR games where he's got 6 or 7 3's and starts heat checkin from 40 feet with a hand in his face.

    Cavs tonight.
