Facts. The opening 2 games is so huge for Toronto.

Facts. The opening 2 games is so huge for Toronto.

Raptors got to take them in game 1. No bigger advantage than what they get in game 1. Home, Cavs coming off game 7 where LeBron and all are gassed, with only a 48 hour turn around.

Raptors lose game 1 and Cavaliers will walk away with this.

Raptors lose either of those first 2 and they're in big trouble.

Win both and great chance, you're at minimum likely got yourself a game 7 in Toronto in the bag

Not sure if the raptors should be encouraged or discouraged by the fact that the cavs role players have yet to get going.

Encouraged. There is no guarantee that guys like Nance, Hood, & Clarkson ever get going

Raptors are 6 point favorite game 1, -2.05 for the series.
Only time since 2010 that James didnt win a road game in a series was last years Finals.
Chances are Raptors will have to win 1 in Cleveland.
I believe they will.

Obviously the Wiz dont have LeBron, but they can be a hard team to defend/beat.
Raptors figured it out.
I feel home court advantage combined with the Cavs needing 7 games to advance will finally be enough for them to get over the hump.
If the Cavs steal game 1, then Im just wrong and its the same old Raptors.
