The Toronto Raptors won a nailbiter 105-99 over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Toronto Monday night, tying the NBA Eastern Conference finals 2-2, after many fans thought the series was a lost cause following two blowout losses in Cleveland.
The Raps got big performances from guard Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, as well as centre Bismack Biyombo, after posting a blowout victory on Saturday in Game 3.
it was a nail bitter in the beginning of the 4th...when they were going back and forth with their shots.
the officials were calling the most outrageous calls on the Raptors! the commentators say it, the crowd say it...the whole world who was watching saw that the right calls were not being called!!!!
my final take on that is that the NBA wants to see Lebron in the finals - its all about money. who in the world really wants to see Raptors against OKC or Warriors? would that make for the best money making thrilling final??? Everyone has said it...we have no 'star' player that makes everyone quiver, but yet we are where we are....3rd round facing the Cavs with the series tied 2-2....
seriously though...whats wrong with NOT having 1 star player? that was Raptors problem from the get go....franchise player....how powerful can a team be WHEN THE ENTIRE TEAM IS THE STAR????
