This is a 10* EASTERN-CONFERNECE SIDE OF THE MONTH on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Toronto will once again look to "get over the hump" and upset the Cavaliers in the playoffs this year. So far the Raptors haven't been able to solve LeBron James and company in the postseason over the last three years and simply put, we don't see anything changing in this one either (in Game 1 anyways). Toronto needed six games to get past the Bucks, most recently a 92-89 road win in Game 6 on Thursday night. For some teams we'd say that an extended period of time off between series could be a detriment to chemistry, but for the Cavaliers, a club which has played a ridiculous amount of basketball over the last three years, it is without question a huge advantage. The Pacers were not an easy "out" whatsoever, but James was dominant in the four game series sweep (does anyone think that Toronto would have swept Paul George and the Pacers?). Toronto looked poor offensively against the Bucks and strong on the defensive end, but Milwaukee wasn't the most dynamic offensive club in the league in the regular season, finishing in the bottom third. Cleveland has big men which are well rested with just as much experience as Toronto's Serge Ibaka, so we aren't reading anything into that matchup whatsoever. And note that Toronto is just 6-7 ATS this year after allowing 90 points or less, while Cleveland is a perfect 2-0 ATS when playing with three or more days rest. We're expecting a complete blowout in Game 1, play on the CAVALIERS.
