Given the track record of Casey, Lowry and to a lesser extent DD in the playoffs? And the track record of Lebron? Yeah, I would still take them very seriously.

Of course Cleveland still scares me. They have lebron and I will never, ever count him out. Last year taught me that they have a switch like no other team in history.

The wizards scare me. Their record against +.500 teams tells me they play down to their competition. Beal can light it up, they have the length that neutralizes our guards, and Gortat is like JV kryptonite. That team is so weird because they feel like they’ve been designed to take out the raptors, but they forgot to account for the rest of the east.

Milwaukee scares me. Giannis can win a series by himself, as long as the refs let him get away with being physical. Also, Maker turns into a different player against the raps.

Miami scares me. They’re bruising defence is straight out of the 90s and it would be a brutal series.

I could go on. If you’re not scared, you’re not a true raps fan.

I just can't see any of us walking into a series against the Cavs comfortable, no matter the circumstances. Confident yes.

Not at the moment.

I fear teams currently playing well and the Cavs are not one of them.

Not scared of the cavs more so them making a deadline move to revamp the roster. Teams seem to gift cavs players

I've been watching this forum for over 2 years but you inspired me to post. The refs have favored the Cavs for years in the East, anyone with half a brain knows that. But I think that the league is finally giving King James the cold shoulder, For the first time in a long time there is excitement in the NBA. The Cavs aren't being gifted players and people are actually excited about the playoffs. The Cavs not doing well is good for the league.

Kevin Love will be back and that will change the complexion of the team. There's always the potential that their front office comes back to sanity and say trades the Nets pick and dumps IT for Kemba, maybe even cuts Rose. A move like that and suddenly Cleveland will be ridding high.

I’m scared of Lebron, but not the rest of that team.

Recently, the Cavs have been resting up for the playoffs. The lights will come on all in due time. Raptors need to position themselves to avoid Lebron until the conference finals.

No one thinks the cavs are the same team.

They could still be a good team if they were willing to go deep into the repeater tax.

The repeater tax is doing its job. It just took a few years but it's going to completely break these big payroll teams to where its impossible to keep them endlessly.

Gilbert almost needs lebron to leave because he can't drop his trash on anyone

We will always be underdog because we depend on the bench. Best Talent usually wins in the playoffs series

Expect the refs to help the Cavs make it to Finals. League needs that ratings money
