    This is going to be a woefully boring series.

    Cavs in 5. They struggled way to much with the Bucks. Greek Freak is good, but he ain't no Lebron.

    They struggled because of length & athleticism. Cavs have none of that.

    I think Cavs in 6 just like last year. The Raptors seem to be over that first round jinx(must be all the former Rockets they have on their team). I think they'll make this competitive, but the Cavs have the 2 best players and homecourt.

    Is anybody giving Toronto a chance?

    I think the match-up is nice for toronto. I think it will be a close and long series

    Lowry will finally go off in the playoffs. Carroll will step up and prove that he belongs with the big boys. Patterson will sudden become a great rebounder. Cavs will win the first two games at home and think they have it in the bag. Then they'll lose the next 4 games.

    It will be the Houston Rockets vs the Toronto Rockets in the Finals. ;)

    All I care from this series is that the game ends in a timely fashion with no overtime so we don't miss the start of any of the rockets game.

    Even if they bring their "A" game, Raptors are choking dogs. They were up 25 in the 3rd quarter, had their foot on the Bucks' throats and gagged like sissies.

    The only reason the Raptors won game 6 is because once the Bucks came back and took the lead, they also got tight, quit playing with desperation and choked even harder than the Raptors. Plus they missed a boatload of FTs in the 4th quarter.

    Cavs have a cakewalk to the ECFs.

    I call a Cavs sweep. Maybe the Raptors steal a game, if the Cavs sleep for game.

    The queen in 5, unless she's on the rag, then either 4 or 6 depending on the level of outflow.

    I like the match-up for Toronto. I have OT going 7 games. Cleveland's defense is still nowhere to be found.

    Ibaka sucks and so does Toronto. Pathetic.
