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

Until the Raptors put up a convincing playoff series you can't blame us.

I got Raptors in 7. For some reason when the Raptors win a series it always goes 6-7 games.

Honestly, think the Raptors should win, and honestly it shouldn't be close but we'll see.

Cavs in 6. DD and Lowry have to prove me otherwise. Raps bench also didnt show up on the road except gm 6.

Have a feeling TT will be a factor on boards against Raps team who have weakness in defensive rebounding.

Raptors could be up 3-0 in the series and id still think they’d choke it away to lebron. Hope I’m wrong but he just has this team mentality

Some 76ers posters proclaiming they're the kings of the East when they haven't won jack **** is sad and annoying. I hope you guys trash em if you two meet in the ECF.

This. I used to be the one proping them up last season. I was telling them, you're a lock for 6th seed at least and they were like thank you but don't think so. Now they are saltier and more annoying than you guys LOL.

Philly has some of the worst fans in Sports. Its just because they're teams always sucked.

Can you imagine Knicks fans with a winning franchise?

Take a wild guess as to why. Hint: Look at who came back

So are the Cavs gonna be going with the same lineup as today? Im trying to figure out if Val is gonna get exposed or not if they decide to go small

Predictions: All of Realgm will have to put up with incessant whining by Raps fans about refs. "5 on 8" will be the most overused term for the next two weeks. And Raps in 5.

Likely.

Which is a good thing for the Raps. Means more JV.

FVV had nice game but still didnt look 100%. He’s also a role player, albeit a really good one, so not counting on him to step up on the road.

Yeah if TT starts, then Val is ideal. But a Green/Love combo, Val is gonna be in trouble defensively.

Casey might need to adjust but Idk if he willing to break the Bench mob up

We have the best player in the series, often that is a huge advantage.

Cavs are going to need Calderon to go off on us lol

First game back from shoulder seperation, of course he's going to look rusty. But regardless, he still managed to have a good game. He's the head of the snake for our bench. Everyone performs better when he comes on

We can't let a terrible player like Jeff Green have a good series.

Well you know I heard of the reputation but I never became an active board participant till last year. Been an education for me.

Those complaints are grounded in fact:

Raps go up 3-2 and Lebron wins the last two

why would you call my raptors animals? a little racist, dont you think?
