I don't see any way we beat Lebron. Cavs in 6. There is no team in the east that can beat him yet.

This is raps vs raps. They can probably only beat themselves based on how the cavs supporting cast has played

I assume Tony brothers and the rest of his cronies will be sharing a plane with the Cavs to Toronto? Maybe make a pit stop and pick up Ed Maloy as well. Plenty of time to bond.

you are just making excuses for your cavs to lose against MY raptors
MY raptors isnt the same team as YOUR cavs anymore.

If we lose "Baby dinosaurs". No win situation at all.



I disagree. Who cares about what the perception of the American media is if we win this series? If we win we win, which is always a positive. If we win we have a FANTASTIC chance at making the NBA finals, which will be huge for this franchise and this city.

I can't picture anyway in which winning this series could be spun into a negative. And I think they can win. I think we have a better team and I think homecourt is going to be huge. I think we can win this series. It's going to be tough. The refereeing is going to be obscenely one sided and Lebron will be transcendent, but the raptors can pull it off. This isn't last years team.

50-50 for me.

I'll go Cavaliers in 7.

I have to presume Love can't continue to stink it up that badly and the Cavaliers' role players will start making more shots.

I don't think Toronto believe they can knock Lebron out deep down.

Should be close though.

The biggest thing ppl forget is the raptors have home court. Best record at home no?

Fred van Fleet more rest for his shoulder, Lebron logging heavy minutes and barely squeaking by.

I like our chances just based off having home court. It'll go six or seven.

That's as real as I can be

All of the King's zebra friends can't help him this time.
He might have escaped this battle but he's bruised & broken. The North finally dethrones the King.

That’s so ridiculous, Brothers wouldn’t be sharing a plane with the Cavs

He’s Lebrons limo driver

Well this is perfect.

It's put up or shut up time for the Raptors and us fans.

As it should be.

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