ECF: | (1) Cleveland Cavaliers vs (2) Toronto Raptors | CLE 2-1

[RaptorsLife]

You guys can call me crazy, but I really think Toronto can win in 6 if Lowry/DD really did come back to form. Hopefully JV can come back for this series, but Biyombo has been doing a great job replacing him.

What form?

Lowry and DeRozan are regular season players. They can't put up those kind of performances regularly in the postseason. They are simply not that good.

Since valancienus injury Lowry is averaging 28. 2 back to back 35pt games and Demar 26pts. Seems like they figured it out. Anyways game 1 will be telling

Cavs dont have to sweep everybody to feel good.. they tried their best to give the Hawks that last game, Lebron took the game off it seemed and on the last possesion he took a bad shot which was clearly on purpose.. He probably felt bad because he been abusing them, breaking records and what not.. Probably the other Cavs wanted to sweep them but Lebron was hoping they stole that one game at least.. So if they lose a game to Toronto Im not buying thats gon to affect them it would just be a normal loss they will recover from, but im just sayin.. Cavs sweepin

09 Cavaliers, 2010 Magic, 2012 Spurs. Who is the last one?

It's the 05 Heat.

we will be still be celebrating

Lotta pressure on the Cavs not to split the first two games.....

just sayin.

Not at all. They are rested and could win both on the road as they have proven. Remember when Chicago won game 1 vs LeBron and lost the next 4?

Raptors in 6.

About 57/43 odds in favor of the Cavs according to the poll. So no matter the outcome, I don't want anyone saying beforehand that everyone expected the Cavs to win. Of course the Raps in 4 meme influences the poll results, but still "Raps in 7" was voted for more.

There is no pressure on the Raptors. They're a big underdog, don't have homecourt, and this is the farthest the franchise has ever been in the playoffs. ALL of the pressure is on the Cavs here who are in win now mode with a superstar who might already be on the wrong side of his prime.

There is no real pressure on the Cavs tonight. If they lose, no one is suddenly going to think they don't have a chance in the series. It just means a sweep is off the table. LeBron has lost game ones before. Not often, but it has happened. I also doubt he's worried about not being able to win in Toronto. He took a game in Golden State last year during the Finals without Kyrie or Love.

[Raps4evrIsBack]

Kyrie is good, but he's not Wade. Love is good, but he's not Bosh. This Cavs big 3 is not as good as the Miami big 3 of LeBron, Wade and Bosh. So I truly believe we can beat them if we play perfect team basketball ala Pistons 04.

I don't know why people think this Cavs team is unbeatable. Yes on paper, they are more talented, but we on the court... we can beat them.

Um even Cavs fans would tell you that LeBron iso 3 at the end of games generally does not work. It has nothing to do with LeBron feeling sorry for them.

They're not unbeatable but they're a tier above Raps/Heat easily.

As a Raps fan going back a long ways, I am really going to enjoy this series, win or lose.

Is this real life? Raptors about to start the ECF?

My exact thoughts.. Especially after just seeing them get the 9th pick in the loterry. That's usually the basketball highlight in may. That being said.. Let's get the party started.

[Vandal Savage]

Favoured Raps always lose first game. Maybe underdog Raps win game one.

They're not a mediocre Indiana Pacer team nor are they missing their best player like Miami. And Toronto doesn't have homecourt advantage which was critical in both their game 7 matchups. The fact that it took the Raptors 7 games in both series despite having homecourt says a lot.
