Toronto Raptors Two-Man Game: Raptors vs. Cavaliers Series Preview
By Demar Grant
Be Honest, how do you see this series going? Give us a prediction.
Demar: Raps in six…
Chris: Raptors in seven.
This isn’t me trying to be a homer and pick the Raptors. I genuinely believe they can beat the Cavs.
Their lineup is equipped to compete with the Cavs’ offence, Cleveland’s defence is historically bad, and one of these year’s LeBron will slow down from playing all these minutes. It might not be this year, but the Raptors are deep enough to mitigate his supporting cast and minimize LeBron’s greatest asset, which is his cerebral playmaking.
Masai Ujiri has been trying for years to retool this roster specifically for the Cavs and LeBron. We’ll see those efforts come full circle this series when the Raptors upset the Cavs.
Demar: But seriously I think the Raptors can take this series in seven games. Each team wins on the other’s floor, some technicals fly back and forth and maybe even a fight. The Raptors are really here to prove themselves and to do so you have to bring an edge to the game it could get chippy out there.
