Raptors in 6, imo, but I dunno. They've always been bad against LeBron led teams. Let's see.

Previous LeBron-led teams also had Kyrie to help LeBron with the scoring load and Raptor killers off the bench (most notably Frye) while the Raptors were weaker. I think the Raps handle the Cavs at home and steal a road game, either winning in 5 or 6.

Well, I'm not arguing with you. You should be the favorites.

If the Raptors can't beat this mediocre Cavs team, then this needs to all be blown up.

They are a far better team.

Do Cavs even get one win? Maybe Lebron wills one but I see this as 5 games max.

The Raps have the ability to go up 2-0 on these Cavs easily. Its up to them to be road warriors, though. Raps fans always mention lack of exposure. They have the entire spotlight on them now. Do or die time for this Raptors team.

Cavs in 7.

Raps better be prepared to play 5 on 8. They have to be mentally strong and continue being disciplined even when they are called for BS fouls or get non-calls.

Maybe if Love shows up... Cavs have really been awful.

Even today’s game they played like crap for most of it - it was fun for sure but I think Raptors own them this season.

Raptors in 6.

I'm going optimistic and saying Raps in 5. Win both at home, take one in Cleveland, finish at home.

I don't know how many games this goes, but the Cavs aren't winning this series

Laure · Post #155 » by **Laure** » Sun Apr 29, 2018 8:21 pm

Things that are different this year than previous years:
-Raps have homecourt advantage, not the Cavs.
-Raps have more rest, not the Cavs.
-No Kyrie Irving.

All that said, it will be probably be a long series.

RaptorsLife · Post #156 » by **RaptorsLife** » Sun Apr 29, 2018 8:22 pm

I just wanna people (Raptors fans) shouldn't judge Cavs on this ability to beat us based on them going 7 games with pacers

Lowry and derozan look constipated against Cavs on road in playoffs. Different teams and matchup

I hope this year is different

Once again, I think Game 1 will decide how the series plays out....it will show me if the Raptors are mentally able to beat Lebron.
