Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan is doing things that havent been accomplished in the NBA in 30 years, which is fitting since DeRozan is a type of throwback player. He also is invoking the name of Michael Jordan, which is the type of effort it will take for the Raptors to overthrow the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers.DeRozan was named the Eastern Conferences Player of the Week Monday after averaging 34.7 points and shooting 54 percent from the floor during Torontos 3-0 week. DeRozan leads the league in scoring, averaging 34 points per game.He is the first player to score at least 30 points in eight of his first nine games to start a season since Jordan did it during the 1986-87 season. DeRozan is doing it with a flurry of drives and mid-range jumpers and very few 3-pointers.Hes playing at an All-Star level, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. Getting bumped, getting hit, still finishing the play. Hes playing an old mans game with physicality. The game has slowed down for him and the key is hes converting those plays.DeRozans weekly award from the league ends LeBron James streak. James won the first two weekly awards of the season in the East and remains an imposing road block to the Raptors, who lost to James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games in last seasons conference finals.The two best teams in the Eastern Conference in 2015-16 meet again Tuesday in Cleveland for already the second time this season. The Cavs beat the Raptors last month at Air Canada Centre. Now the defending champions might be even better than they were last season.Cleveland has made at least 10 3-pointers in every game this season, breaking a record set by the Houston Rockets two years ago. While its early, the Cavaliers are on pace to make more 3-pointers than any team in history -- and coach Tyronn Lue still isnt completely happy.I think we can shoot better, Lue said. Its been sporadic.Mike Dunleavy, acquired from the Chicago Bulls over the summer, is off to a terrible start shooting 3-pointers. A career 37-percent 3-point shooter, Dunleavy is making just 27 percent of them (7 of 26) this season. Lue, however, isnt concerned with Dunleavys struggles.Hes a great shooter and hes always been over his career, Lue said. You come from playing 32, 34 minutes and being a starter and now youre coming off the bench when youre playing 16 minutes a game, its tough to try to find your rhythm.The Raptors didnt win any games at Quicken Loans Arena last season -- including the three during the playoffs. They lost the series when James dominated Game 6 at Air Canada Centre. Thats why Toronto players have already discussed the importance of home-court advantage over the Cavaliers in the playoffs.In order to get there, the Raptors likely will have to win a game in Cleveland at some point. They learned how difficult it can be to beat a motivated James in the postseason.He just took over. He took it to another level, Casey said of James. Mentally, physically, defensively, offensively, he wasnt going to let them lose. He can have an imprint on the game in whatever way that night calls for.DeAndre Bembry Jersey .
