Series Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: 1) Cleveland Cavaliers (57-25) vs. 2) Toronto Raptors (56-26)

TT will shrivel playing in front of his hometown fans. Advantage Toronto.

Everything else: Advantage Cleveland.

I remember watching Thompson & Cory Joseph in HS together @ Findlay Prep in Henderson, NV. during the 2009-10 season.

Honest prediction.. Cavs in 5. But hoping for a 6-7 game series

I agree I think Cavs in 5 hope for 6 or 7.

Coaching advantage Toronto.

Long way from home, and a long way back home for one and close to home for another.

Takes a lot of guts to make moves like that as a kid.

No doubt. That program gets kids from all over the place though. Something crazy like 90% of them go on to play CBB. Since 2010 they have put Avery Bradley, Thompson, Joseph, DeAndre Liggins, Anthony Bennett (whoop-de-do huh?), Nick Johnson, Jorge Gutierrez (?), Kelly Oubre, Jr. (?), Rashad Vaughn & Christian Wood into the NBA.

Man, has there been a worse draft year than 2013?

Ummmm....is that Drake in a Cavs uni?

I think it was voluntary, meant to show that he was rooting for the Heat to make it to the Cavs.

Yup....I'm going bandwagon just like him.

Wait a minute...what did I miss? Isn't Drake the Ambassador of Canada???

He is now.

But, he's a NBA player groupie.

What do the Raptors do as a team better than the Cavs?

any suggestions?

Cavs 3 pt shooting is going to be a HUGE advantage over Toronto's....

without Valunciunas for game 1- and i cant imagine the guy is near 100% if and when he comes back----- how are they supposed to match the Cavs on the boards with TT and Love?

individually- iso ball- yes- they have very good options in DeRozan and Lowry--- Cavs are just way better in LeBron and Irving...



does the Toronto team have an advantage somewhere on the court?
