            • This year just feels different. 2016 we were just in the way for a red hot cavs team. 2017, raptors felt like they gave up before it started. I barely remember last year's playoffs, they certainly weren't fun and I think the dressing room was eroding.

              This year, just reading quotes, there's a confidence, an optimistic determination. They know this is the time to do it. This is where we behead the king.

                • A lot of ppl mentioned this already and they're right. If the Raptors can't beat this LeBron James team - then they'll never beat LeBron James ever.

                  This Game 1 is HUGE. I normally don't say G1 is a must win. But this is a must win. The Raps had 3 extra days of rest while the Cavs played a G7 50 something hours ago. Plus, the Raptors are the home team. You have to dominate them.

                    I find this a bit arbitrary. If Casey/Lowry/DD have shown anything over the past couple of postseasons, it's that they can win a series after losing game 1. Not that I'm calling for that, just sayin.

                      Last year, in the Cavs' sweep of the Raptors, Toronto mostly placed current Rocket PJ Tucker on James. Cleveland scored just over 1.1 points per possession when that was the case. Tucker was a capable drives defender last season (0.92 points allowed per direct drive), but not to the same level that Anunoby is now. Two years ago current Nets player DeMarre Carroll was James' primary defender and the Cavaliers' offense was explosive against Toronto when that was true.

                            It doesn't work for non-believers. Drink some kool-aid, take the red pill, click your heels, etc...
