Cleveland Cavaliers at Toronto Raptors Pick
Game Five was a great selling point for Cleveland as the Cavaliers seem to now have the Raptors exactly where they want them. Similar sentiments were purveyed after Game Two when Cleveland continued to batter a seemingly unresolved and inexperienced Toronto club. The Raptors with the help of their rabid following in the Great White North would claw their way back in to the series and tie up the series at two games a-piece. Nonetheless, the result Toronto achieved in Cleveland was to be expected. The Raptors have had trouble on the road all year long and we cannot stress enough how different this team plays in front of their own fans.
The Raptors have gone the distance in their previous two series in this post-season, a Game Seven situation was required for a winner to be determined in both the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals and Eastern Conference Semifinals. Toronto is 2-0 in Game Sevens and it is no surprise as both those affairs were conducted within the Air Canada Centre. Toronto had numerous opportunities to blow several series at home or find themselves without any glimmer of hope in this particular series, yet the Great White North was the difference maker. Bottom line is this, Cleveland has swept both their opponents leading up to this series and Toronto could have easily folded their tents when they were down 2-0, but they didn't. The Raps know if they win this game tonight, they force another Game Seven which plays right in to their wheelhouse even if the game is away from Toronto. Nevertheless we feel hard-pressed to believe that Cleveland will have their way against the Raptors in this one and even if they do win, the Raptors will assuredly go down swinging with their loyal fans standing beside them. Toronto at home with points is always a "best bet" in our book.
Free Pick:
Toronto +6.5
