The Cavaliers likely feel a little anger toward Biyombo after his pivotal performance Saturday, when he helped stop Cleveland's 10-0 start to the playoffs in Toronto's 99-84 victory in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals. David Legwand JerseyGame 4 is Monday night at Air Canada Centre.

Biyombo hauled down a Raptors' playoff-record 26 rebounds, blocked four shots, and scored six of his seven points in a quick fourth-quarter spurt that helped seal Toronto's win.

That wasn't all. Biyombo was involved in a first-half skirmish http://www.officialsabresteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_David_Legwand_Jersey that saw LeBron James take a tumble after catching an accidental elbow from his own teammate, Tristan Thompson. Late in the fourth, Biyombo drew a flagrant foul after he collared a driving James, sending the Cavs' star sprawling again.

DeRozan hasn't forgotten what all that feels like.

''I hated Biz,'' Toronto's All-Star guard said. ''He was a fouler, always blocking shots. He always went for the pump fake, though, but I hated Biz. Now by far he's one of my favorite teammates http://www.officialsabresteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Derek_Roy_Jersey of all-time.''

Raptors coach Dwane Casey understands Biyombo can be both a ''nightmare'' and a ''nuisance'' to play against, whether it's the center's habit of finger-wagging after blocks, or flexing his muscles after big dunks.

To Biyombo, being a nuisance is no big deal.Christian Fischer Jersey It's the way it's got to be.

''Until you really get to know the real side of me, then you know who I am,'' he said. ''But on the floor I don't have friends.''

At the final buzzer Saturday, Biyombo lay crumpled in pain in Cleveland's paint after being struck below the belt while battling Dahntay Jones for a loose ball. Biyombo took the hit while http://www.officialcoyotesproshop.com/Womens_Youth_Dylan_Strome_Jerseytapping the ball to a teammate, his eighth offensive rebound of the night.

Casey was upset at the referees after the game, complaining that Biyombo wasn't getting calls and citing Cleveland's 86-51 edge in free throw attempts in the series. On Sunday, Casey declined to say whether those comments had drawn league discipline.
