Congrats to the Raptors for reaching the ECF, but this poll should be 100% to 0% in favor of the Cavs.

The Raptors are going to get mauled this series. They have zero chance.

Hey smart guy, who's the best team the Warriors have beat in the last 2 playoffs combined?

The blazers would beat both pistons or raptors

Im voting for Raps in 7, but in all likelihood it will probably be Cavs in 5. :((

Anywhoo, Good Luck Raps !

Hope for Raps in 7 but likely Cavs in 6. I think the Raps pull out 2 if they play well.

Cavs in 6 because Biyombo is currently super-charged with Usain Bolt confidence and T Ross is tapping into his inner Eddie Jones-Jason Richardson, you kno wut time it is, folks!

Cavs in 5. It's going to take both Lowry and DeRozan to have a series like game 7 for them to win a series against the Cavs.

I said Cavs in 5, game 1 will be the best chance for Raps to steal a game. Raps are riding an emotional high, they know they spoiled the party for the national media forecasting the LeBron vs Miami narrative and will come into game 1 fired up.

Good answer but also w out Kyrie since he owned Steph in the first games during which cavs went up 2-1.

We clicked just in time for LeBron and we will make sure he will work for the nba finals or even better we continue our magical run and reach the nba finals. It's going to be either the biggest upset in basketball history or a hard fought battle that ends in a loss either way as a raps fan who watched this team since 06 I'm just grateful to be here and even more grateful to watch this magical run.


Beating a mediocre Pacers team and the Heat who were missing 2/3 best players for most of the series and their best one and all star for the whole playoffs. And doing this with homecourt and still having each series reach 7 games.

So magical.

In the greatest "OMG, I did not see that coming" moment, Tristan Thompson clothlines and power bombs LBJ, putting him out for the series and then dons a Raps vintage VC jersey to finish off the greatest heel turn in this premeditated sport.

And no rest at all for Toronto now. What the heck is Lowry doing playing 41 minutes? He should have come out much earlier. Same with Biyombo.



It's game 7, they needed the win. The Raps fall off a cliff with Lowry on the bench. It's pretty crazy what a great season Lowry is having, most people who don't watch the raps wouldn't know that.


It was a 20 point game with 6 min to go. I know that Lowry is having a superb season and he's fantastic. But you can play prevent offense those six minutes with Derozan and Lowry can rest.


The last insane stat I saw was that the Raptors were like... -32 without KL. So... not as safe as you would think? That might have changed though since this was around Game 4/5?

I think Raptors will put up a stronger fight than expected against the Cavs. Though I think they have nothing/no one that can slow down lebron.
