Going Commando Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Both teams are Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to playing at home vs on the road. That would seem to work in Cleveland's favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Someone should probably inform Toronto that they're going to have to break serve to win the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Back to the stupid Wilbon article for a second, here is Bomani Jones (who has a few master degrees in economics) thoughts on the topic. As usual, it's fantastic. A lot of people seem to get angry when they are asked to do any math more complicated than figuring out an 18 percent tip. If you are never exposed to math in the first place, it likely gets worse. The analytics thing that is largely generational. There’s another issue that I think comes up that black people are generally steered away from mathematics. Math and science related fields, people of color and women, and people of color not including Asians in this discussion, but people of color and women are typically pushed away from those directions. I’ve taken a lot of high-level math, where you look around and are like, “Damn, it’s just me.” Like that’s the game. That’s what the game’s been for a very, very, very long time, so I could imagine that there are black people that aren’t necessarily so inclined to lean on these advanced numbers because nobody has ever been so inclined to lean these advanced numbers back upon us. I can see it like that. But that’s an exposure issue, more than it is something like innate about black people or anything like that. White people are hitting me up today like, “Yo man, what’d you think about what Wilbon say?” Yo, Wilbon might want to answer for all the black people, I don’t. I ain’t never really been here for that. I’m answering for this one right here, and I’m happy to be one with a bunch of degrees in economics, so like I’m not the guy, that sees it, in that way. I’ll never be the guy that sees it in this way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticksboi05 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 That went about how it should have. Toronto will force Game 7 only to get pummeled again in Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I think Toronto is done. Lebron is gonna drop that spirit bomb in Game 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 If they somehow force game 7 I fully expect another horrific beatdown. But it would put a bunch of pressure on Cleveland and send panic throughout the organization and fan base. I can see them playing tight because of that leaving the door open for Toronto to either seize or choke away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I will be absolutely flabbergasted if this goes to 7. Games 3 and 4 were the greatest moments in the history of the Raptors franchise. I think reality sets in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Bomani Jones is a national treasure His ability to cut to the real issue in every "embrace debate" sports debate is amazing. We can argue for years about whether dudes talk about OPS at the barber shop, but why does that matter? It's like his incredible speech on the real issue in the Donald Sterling case - which was this was a guy who had a 40 year career filled with examples of housing discrimination, which he tied to the Chicago murder rate, which he then tied to a personal anecdote. And he seemed to do it all off the top of his head. He does tweet an alarming amount though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
