I can't believe how bad the Raptors are playing in this series. It's like they lost the first game in OT and gave up hope. Will they really let their season go to a sweep? Teams in this spot usually fight pretty hard and if they did win they'd get a game 5 at home which they'd probably win as well. I'd like them better if they had gotten beaten badly in game 3. At least they'd be playing for pride, as it is they might just lay down and decide it's over. Cleveland might relax a little being up 3-0 too. We'll see what they do tonight.

Well they didn't show much tonight, that's for sure. Such a weird team to do so well in the regular season and crap the bed in the biggest games.
Yup, that last game was their last gasp. Thought maybe they would play for some pride after putting up nearly 60 regular season wins. I wonder how that Boston series will play out. I still feel like the 76ers are way better than the Celtics as currently constructed. If they could somehow steal game 5, they might have a shot at the historic comeback. The Celtics have been playing over their heads the entire playoffs.
What the Celts are doing is impressive. Stevens is a hell of a coach. No way we'd sniff the playoffs with our top two guys out. I think their run is done, though. They haven't faced anyone with a legit star yet.
They're certainly not beating Cleveland. Lebron is just too much of a beast. I thought the Cavs were vulnerable. I picked them in 5 games in the first round and it went 7. Thought, "hey, maybe the Raptors can get by them after that 7 game first round series" so I picked the Raptors in 6, then they get swept for good measure. Cleveland will win the next round in 4 or 5 games as well I think. Maybe 6 if they somehow met the 76ers but I think they make quick work of the Celtics.
I hope you're right! I just wish someone other than the Warriors would come out of the West. I'm sick of them.
Houston has a shot but I think its going to be Warriors in 6.
