Barring the unforeseen, Cavs in 5. The Raps backcourt will give Kyrie fits, but not enough scoring from the rest of the team to keep up. Should be an entertaining series though.

Kyrie definitely have not had many issues with this Toronto backcourt. While DeRozan starts every game hot Lowry has done absolutely nothing.

I remember hearing Lowry wasn't 100% before the series started. I thought the Cavs would have more trouble with him. Toronto looks like they are having a bit of trouble with the more physical D that is allowed during the playoffs, kind of like some of the Cavs last year during the finals.

It's time to run the Raptors out of the gym. Play physical defense. Give them a couple of free throws early (since there's apparently a quota system now), and don't let Lowry or Derozan get off.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Puzzling to see Raptors play so bad on the road, at least compete to make the game fun to watch!

Rooting for OKC. Not that it would be any easier, just think that the NBA giving Draymond a free pass to kick people in the nuts is total BS. Suspend players who are trying to hurt other players without prejudice. Its not that hard to determine. Dude should have not played last game, and still continued to try obviously take out other players.
Had anybody kicked Steph Curry in the nuts he would have been out multiple games. Period. Just pure BS.

Somehow I can't see LeBron ever doing that. Total Bushleague play by GSW particularly Draymond. I knew they'd upgrade it in retrospect but go without actually giving him the penalty that he deserved. It was completely ridiculous that his penalty was that much less than that of Dahntay. The NBA is such a sham at times.
