We know what happened in the past does not necessarily dictate what will happen in the future. And Toronto has proven that by both winning 59 of their games over the regular season, and having gone 1-2 during the regular season vs the Cavs. Yet here we are. By the law of averages, the Raptors chances to win this game vs Cleveland is rapidly increasing. And if the Toronto offense wasn't tough enough when they get DeMar DeRozan moving along in the mix with Jonas Valanciunas- when Kyle Lowry starts scoring, Cleveland will get into some trouble here. Things will get looking better for Toronto and will show up - DeRozan bounces back after his benching with a vengeance.



Regardless of the efficient personnel for Cleveland - Toronto will take away from the overall deep ball of the Cavs - LeBron James has really had a problem getting that to drop for him. His attacking of the paint has been amazing - but if they force him to shoot deep, trouble. Kevin Love is a great player, but overall, in the playoffs he has been a shadow of his high octane self. I look for Toronto to play tight and force a game back in Canada
