No, LeBron is too good. And even if they do, I seriously doubt their ability to make it past the Cavs once they meet in the playoffs

Toronto has massively overacheived at this point. Wouldn't be surprised if they fell of a cliff like last year.

There should be no talk about if they can beat Cleveland until they can actually win a playoff series.



To the OP, let them get healthy. They are down two of their SF's and haven't really strengthened their team through trade.

Too good at what? Failing to bring Cleveland a championship?

Too early. Injuries are a killer.

Raps is doing fine with the major off-season addition Demarre Carroll though. But any long-term injury to Lowry or Derozan would derail Raps hard.

I think they look great. But we're only half-way through. I'm not a fan of war by attrition. I would like to see them make ECF.

If they take first they would have to face Paul George which I wouldn't want to do.

Celtics will finish first and make it to the 2nd round. The rebuild is strong with that team

[Fire Colangelo]

Doubt it
