I think Philly could take that if they don't get bumped out by Detroit.

Yeah, I'm not sure what's worse...

Wade/Korver/Lebron/Love/Frye

Anyone who thinks we shouldn't be terrified of that line up come playoffs isn't thinking clearly. Yes they're having problems now. Love is injured and half the team isn't trying, Lebron most of all. That will change when the bright lights come on. These guys have nothing but champions up and down the roster. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

When was the last time the Raps beat the Cavs in Cleveland or had a competitive game there?

If you're not scared of LeBron in the playoffs, you clearly haven't been watching basketball for the past 15 years.

I feel like if they win a few games in a row, RaptorsLife will start a thread, "Cavs looking scary".

Yes

Lebron can take over any game.

The Cavs shooters can get hot. Sure defense is a problem for them, but if they put up 120 with ease then who care about D.

Lebron got called for 43 fouls in the playoffs last year, only 43!!! in 18 games, for a player that plays so physical, it is a joke.

But the problem is that you look at him the wrong was you get a foul, his own player hits him, you get a foul.

The only way to beat the Cavs is to make them work, run, ball moment, make them work on both ends. This is not a deep team, they will have too play their starters 38+ min a game, that will wear a team down.

yes I am still scared, because anything can happen in the playoffs. But I am more worried about the Wizards, Bucks, Heat.

losing to the Cavs, well you lost to Lebron and the Cavs turned it on for the playoffs.

You lose to the Bucks, Heat or Wiz, no excuse!

Cavs are done. Finally you all see what I see.

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Some thought that once the deadline passes the Cavs will get it together. All the trade talk and perhaps even LeBron wanting to force managements hand to make a move. Gilbert probably doesn't mind the losing because it means a better draft pick to pair with the Brooklyn pick if he feels lIke LeBron is leaving for certain.

538 had the Raptors with the best odds to win the title out of the East before the playoffs began last year. It's cool but doesn't really mean much.

As a team, the Raptors should be on edge. Last thing you want to do is underestimate a team that has been to 3 straight finals, especially given the Raptors' playoff track record.
