Raptors in 6 because:

A) - The Raps are better than they were last year, especially defensively. Cavs are not. In fact, all the remaining teams in the East, except Cleveland, are better than they were last year.

and

B) - I really, really want the Raps to win.

I wanted to say 5 but figured the limb I'm on is already pretty far out there.

I bet B works out better for you.


I know Biyombo gave Cleveland fits especially in games 3 and 4. The refs let him get physical by the hoop and he did well and made some money because of that series. Ibaka is a new option maybe he impacts the game like Biyombo did last year? He's got more talent, but will his talents impact the game like Biyombo's unique skillset.


Kyle Lowry needs to show up. Toronto needs to show up on the road as well. Toronto needs to score- they can't go knock out drag out like they did with the Bucks- so will there be another shot making presence aside from Derozen.


The Cavs aren't sweeping and it will be a good series. I'm thinking Cavs in 6 wouldn't be surprised if its +/- a game: Cavs in 5 or 7 and they lose game 1.

Cavs in 5 Games.

Anyone that picks the Raptors to win the series over the Cavs are in serious denial.

The best basketball player on the planet and the Cavs are just getting warmed up.

I still feel that the Cavs will be undefeated at home during the entire eastern playoffs. Don't see Boston, Toronto or Washington winning in Cleveland

Agree. I actually think they will get 2 games. I also think the Rockets will edge the Spurs in 6 games. So maybe I'm all the way off.
