Cavs are tired, Raps should blow them out tonight.

Its not gonna work like that. Maybe they're tired but that game was setting the whole team in a momentum, when you just came out from a fresh win there's no way you're gonna be blowed out.
Tough win from Cavs and that monentum will continue. Once the Cavs win on game 2, it could lead to potential sweep.
Remeber the Raptors didnt win a chip against Lebron in the playoffs. But yeah, this year's different. Lets just see what the outcome would be.

Again, Thompson did contribute really well, those 9 offensive rebounds killed the Raptors.
What a lucky game for the cavaliers, all the chance is on the Raptors to beat them but they were unlucky, I do believe the cavaliers can
win this series but I expect the Raptors to bouce back hard in game 2.

Lebron does it again with experience.
It was going back and forth in the fourth quarter. But then a foul at three point line on J.R Smith. Then another foul at three point range. They are fouling at the wrong time.
It seemed that experience took over once again in this first game of the series.
I think I saw Lebron on the court every shift.
If he isn't tired yet and just keep playing every quarter and almost every possession then I don't know if the Raptors can do anything to stop him in sweeping them away in this series. Roll Eyes

Q3 match Raptors vs Cavs.

Looks like the Raps are doing it with the lead of 8 points.

Score: 67 - 59.

Maybe the right word is that they are "smart".

He's smart and also experienced so that makes sense during these crucial games.

Respect to Oladipo, he has played very well in that series.

What I see on social media is many memes about Oladipo.

I think the cavaliers will not get pass the round 2, Toronto is a much improve team now and the have offense inside an out as well.

It's early to speculate until we see the series ends. I know Toronto is strong but let's don't forget on how many titles Lebron went through and Cavs as well.

I'm not a fan of him.

Lebron James is so experienced when it comes to do or die games and i think it really helps him in the series between the Indiana Pacers. Going into the series with Toronto Raptors, i think the latter should disposed the burnt James and the rest of the Cavaliers as early as possible because if it will go down the wire, it would favor the Cavs.

His experiences taught him a lot of lessons and he'll apply it for the upcoming game tomorrow with Toronto Raptors. The feeling is intense and many are already speculating that Raptors will get the first game confidence and will win the first match while the LJ fans won't let themselves lose.
Can't wait for the game tomorrow, will stop working just to watch the first game of Raptors vs Cavs.

Having that said Lebron would definitely ignite the spirit of Cavs, this series. Raptors are a team to beat to be honest but let's see how will Lebron keep the cavs on track. Derozan, Ibaka and Lowry would surely be a hindrance for them and for sure they won't let this opportunity passed by again. But, as I see it Raptors has an edge in this series due to their deep lineup and a much favorable chemistry. Who knows Lebron still might have a lot of surprises under his sleeves.

What we would expect from Lebron? There would be either a good play or just an another lame situation but in most cases we do see on how James do perform when hes already on the court.There would be always unexpected scenarios to happen but on this game this would really be a good one.

Cavs are tired, Raps should blow them out tonight.

On what thing the Cavs team is already tired? Im not being biased but this would be a good game.

Lebron has played a total of 288 minutes in that series. So he is gassed and if they are down in the first quarter they will sit him for the second and get wreaked.
He is shooting 54% while all the other players on his team are shooting 34% combined!
This means without him on the floor they will be losing those games. And unfortunately the Cavaliers know this with having him on the court as much as they can afford to get him out there.

No doubt on that Lebron is always been the play maker and which motivates the entire team on playing at their best but in the case if hes out of the court then its one of the factor which performance is mainly affected.I know and we know that they do already prepared on that scenario,they would need to sacrifice on some of their minutes just to make a rest and thats really a gamble.

James have been in this kind of situation before. He maybe tired but we know how he phased himself, great players have this kind of ability to have some reserved and then will just explode if they know they needed to step up. That's why Lebron was not injury prone, he knows the time when to take over and when to step back and just make his team mates looks better. Maybe the right word is that they are "smart". And for all we know, this game also involves mental toughness and not just physical.

The inability of the Sixers to drain those 3's cost them the game and Tatum and Rozier really stepped up for the Celtics. But that story will be different come game2 because for sure the Sixers are going to make some adjustments and try to bury those 3's.

Good luck to them, at this moment, I think the Boston are playing a good ball and they are undervalued.
Whoever back the Sixers now in the series should try to think twice because I am seeing that the Boston can once again reach the NBA East Finals.

It is just game 1 which they have won. Boston will need to secure that game 2 also just so they wont get any tense moment when it is game 3 and 4.
If 76ers just robs 1 then it could be a lot of difference with the next. It will boost them when they go back home that could lead to an easy 3-1.

Adjustments will happen and I am sure of that. They finished a slow paced game with the Heat and suddenly this one with a fast pace against Boston.
Let us see Game 2 and it might be a little different game.

Based on the first game, yes I would agree that the 3's makes a lot of difference that why the Sixers lost the first game. On the other hand, Celtics was on fire hitting 17 3's. But its just 1 game and I still favored Sixers to win in 6 here. Celtics doesn't have their main scoring threat, plus they are pretty banged up. Gonna be interesting to see the adjustments in game 2, I think sixers will play physical.

They have 2, they need to steal one game at Celtics home to erase the home court advantage.
In terms of talent, they are good but not as good enough since they are still young, Boston has more playoffs experience
and I think that is their edge on this game series.

I don't think that Celtics has more playoffs experience though, I say that they are even, however, I favored Sixers because Celtics doesn't have their main man, which is Kyrie. And their body is pretty much exhausted after the series with the Bucks, although they cruise and win game 7, still its a extended series. Will Sixers easily won a 5 game series against the Heat.

We can't see what will happen tomorrow and I respect your opinion about Boston, for me they should continue playing like this, sharing the ball
and make those three's, game seems so easy for them when they rotated the ball and shoot it, the confidence even they are underrated without
their so-called superstars really impress me, both teams are good and deserved the finals from the east, good luck for whoever will make it.
