Raptors aren't getting swept and I dont think this is going to be an easy series for Cleveland but they should win this

This is an interesting series to me

Imo Cavs in 6, but the Raptors can still win the series.

On paper its closer than it seems.

I think the Cavs experience takes them over the top but the Raptors have counters for whatever the Cavs try to do.

Im going Cavs but this is like a 60-40% chance imo

 

[O.G.]

Rooting for Harden to shine.

 

[southsil4lil]

Im not even sure who I personally want to win this series

I kind of want Toronto to win just for the fuckery but also I dont want to see James and Jarrett Allen go out sad either

[Sky Davis]

[southsil4lil]

Fuck the raptors

Surprised you dont want to see the Cavs lose and open up the possibility of Pat acquiring Donovan Mitchell

Freeman made the raptors easy to hate

Also I never wanna hear about Mitchell or Giannis on the Heat again

 

[O.G.]

I feel like yall feel about those late West Coast games.

Its a real interesting clash of styles


Cavs never run in transition and are a good halfcourt team

Raptors love running in transition and struggle in the halfcourt

After all the shit he's popped for the last year he needs to see the raptors lose for some kind of redemption. Real hater shit.

Niggas wanna pop shit but scared to put money behind it.

 

[Sky Davis]

Tired of those weak ass braids from Harden

This year is an outlier for Toronto

I’m okay with it

 

[southsil4lil]

Didn't realize Mobley was having such a poor year from the freethrow line

 

[Freeman]

This year is an outlier for Toronto

I’m okay with it

Put your money where your mouth is next time or humble tf up.

You shouldn't have shit to say about the raptors the rest of the season. We dealt with that already. Wiped down.

Stfu.
