The regular season series between cavs and raptors are 2-1 cavs. The raptors beat cavs when they were at their worse at the beginning of the season, and the cavs beat the raptors twice, one at home and one on the road, when their team wasn't at their best. Demar derozan wasn't there during those two wins, but he is by far not a game changer, this was established when they lost a few in a row with his return to teams like the nets and the bucks. The raptors lack playoff experience (no one on the team has gone to the finals), while the cavs have 4 champions on their roster. The cavs would definitely beat them 4-2 in a playoff series.
You don't understand...
Derozan does make a big impact when he's in the lineup everyone can play there own role and when he's not you got to fill a void for a guy who averages 20+ points a game and gets to the free throw line 5 times a game.
Derozan is one of the best in the NBA to get to the line he let's us set up our defense after he takes his two shots.
The time when I said we would beat the Cav's was when they didn't have Shumpert, J.R Smith and Mozgoth and they traded Waiters (Waiters Irving best back court in the NBA LMAO) they defiantly improved there bench.
Depending on how the next game goes against Cleveland I still believe we can take them the distance.
Cleveland has a hard schedule we'll see how they do everyone is saying they will take the number 2 spot I highly doubt this with only 28 games left I don't believe Raptors will lose 4 in a row.
To win a championship you gotta be a top 10 defensive team and a top 10 offensive team. Both Toronto and Cleveland aren't in fact the only team in the East that is, is Atlanta.
Toronto is the highest scoring team in the East and as of late has really picked up it's defense.
The only thing setting Cleveland back right now is the coach and in the playoffs coaching is key. Toronto has a coach that's won a championship in the NBA against Lebron and his pussy ass Heat so we got experience there beating his cry baby ass.
Every team in the NBA loses to some shit teams... Golden State lost to Lakers Chicago don't even get me started Cav's also Wizards just suck at playing teams over .500... Demar overcame a serious injury he wasn't sidelined for 1-2 weeks it was 2 months he would have been an All-star 100% and if he didn't get injured the Raptors would have at least 5 less losses.
On a side note Toronto plays Houston for the first time this season should be interesting
, GS is owning Spurs atm so <3
