The Raptors are desperately searching for a way to hang with the Cavs, and inserting Tucker into the starting five gives them their best chance.
The Toronto Raptors are in deep trouble in their Eastern Conference Semifinal matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
They dropped the first two games of the series in embarrassing fashion and have now lost five straight postseason games in Cleveland with an average margin of defeat of 24.2 points per contest, dating back to last year’s Eastern Conference Finals.
The series shifts back to Toronto tonight (where the Raptors were able to take two games from the Cavs last year), but no one is expecting this series to get close.
