I dont trust the Raptors to not piss their pants yet again in the face of LeBron. Think this goes to 7 games.

Raptors have a better roster and home court advantage this time, but they are so mentally soft. I see it going 7 games.

This sucks. if we win the series "Lebron has the worst supporting cast ever".

If we lose "Baby dinosaurs". No win situation at all.

This is the first time I think we've had a legit shot to beat Lebron.

Not saying we will, but we have a shot.

-No Kyrie Irving.

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


Also this Raptors team have much better ball movement than the previous versions. That and Kyrie was why the Raptors got swept last year. So unless Toronto offense turn back into the iso mess it was last year and Kyrie come back to the Cavs the Raps shouldn't lose this series.

I think this is the year... everyone will pick the Cavs but that's nothing new we have to beat this team. Been fighting the critics since the beginning of the season.

Well you said this last year. :dontknow:

You really remember what I said that long ago? Lol

Anyway Lowry got injured after Game 2 that series, so there's a good chance Raps would've won 1 or 2 at home with him in the lineup (like they did in 2016).

Raps have a shot if the Cavs don't consistently shoot a crazy percentage from 3.

Great odds if you think Cavs to win. Bet now before people hammer those odds and it goes down

Indy really blew it.


The Raptors put a 34 point beat down on the Cavs earlier this season at home in January I believe. Last year's Raps lost BOTH HOME GAMES to the Cavs in the regular season and proceeded to get swept. This year will be different. Book it. The Raptors are a 7.29 SRS 59 win team, much better team than the 1.18 SRS 48 win Pacers who just took the Cavs to 7.

From all observations on this board, Raptors fans have stockholm syndrome with lebron. Its actually pathetic how defeatest they sound about a series they should be salivating to play.

The more I see it the more I want them to lose.

I'm seeing a lot of positivity. There's like a couple with Stockholm syndrome, but we're a big fanbase. It's expected

A good amount of Raptors fans want Wizards-Cavs-Philly...it's the revenge tour. 1 down, 2 to go.
