Another lose for our championship yesterday grin

Ogbeni calm down cheesy. The turnovers and sloppy offense coupled with the atrocious defense is killing the Cavs. We just need more ball movement motion offense and improve our defensive efforts and start playing with heart, energy, and focus. Defensive intensity is the most important thing.

We're on a downward spiral and everything would be rectified soon and i believe Cavs wont play this way during playoffs.

The season is just approaching it's first quarter but the bulls are on the upswing, having figured out how to play with themselves.
If Wade and Rondo stay healthy, they could go all the way to win the finals

Smith is still rubbishly inconsistent, infact in the last finals it was on defense that Smith had any impact

I keep looking at the Raptors and wonder if I am guilty of criminally underrating their players

i have been saying if the cavs are going to get any real challenge in the east, it's from the raptors. They are probably one trade away from having the perfect matchup against the cavs.

They have played twice this year against cavs, they had the answers for cavs till about 1 minute to go in both games.

They just can't close the game against them, once they figure out how to do that, we have a series in the playoffs.

You are not wrong about your thoughts, and don't over think why you are underrating them because it is legitimate. I feel same way sometimes but their history and record during the post season buttress reasons why.

While they may seem talented, which truthfully they are, their style of play is quite predictable. the Raptors are a jump shooting team whose stars tend to fade whenever you power the bright lights. DeMar has improved his game this season, however, it is still primarily hinged on 18 feet jump shots. Lowry is very inconsistent, infact, he historically has been the weak link during playoff's.

Remember last season when he stayed back after every game to practice shooting because he could not make a bucket to save his life? They need to expand their game past DeMar and Lowry; Carrol is not an offensive threat, however, he is potent on defense, especially one on one perimeter defense. They have nothing solid on the bench to push the game when necessary.

The Cavs or any consistent interior styled team would defeat them in my opinion because of their predictability. So don't over think your choice to underrate the Raptors.
