Give me the known vs. the unknown every day of the week. This raps team is not unlike any other raps team we've run off the floor before. We've handled bizness before and we'll handle it again. It's become a tradition to watch Raps fans gathering outside the arena to have their hearts broke. A tradition unlike any other.

Bucks don't scare me either, but let's keep the tradition alive with our northern friends.
 
I want the Bucks because I want another sweep.

The only thing and I mean the only thing that has me the least bit concerned with the Raps is their size up front. Other than that, Lowry will continue to be a playoff choker, Carroll is LeBron's bitch just like his evil twin from Boston, DeRozan is tough but can be neutralized, and the team is still from Canada. Tucker is old and should be on our team.

I'd rather face the Raptors than the Bucks quite honestly.

For what it's worth, RJ and Channing are saying the Cavs crowd needs to step it up.

Be louder and more into the games.

This is going to be an unpopular post on this board, but the Cavs arena has always seemed somewhat dead to me relative to crowds in OKC, Boston, Oracle, Toronto, Utah, Portland, etc. It's not nearly as bad as Brooklyn or Atlanta or Miami, but I never felt like the crowd could swing games like certain teams crowds can with their "bullshit" chants where they get on refs and opponents. Granted I've never been at the Q so I'm just going by what I see on League Pass. Maybe it's just the robotic "defense" chant that has colored my opinion. The Cavs have awesome introductions and the arena itself looks beautiful on tv, but something about their home games seems overproduced.

Next series will be easier than the pacers. Raptors might win 1 game but overall, I think we will see more convincing wins.

A lot of this is because the demographics that go to these games have really shifted. Especially in the lower bowl, it’s been a lot of business guys and resellers that make up a bulk of those seats.

But it didn’t use to be like this. From 2006-2010 we had the loudest and best fan atmosphere in the NBA, bar none.

This seems to be what happens with any team that hits an extended period of contention. You'll even see Warrior fans, lifelong fans not the ones who joined when Kobe retired, say that Oracle's crowd isn't what it used to be.

The demographics shifted long before that.

If you wanted diverse, rowdy crowds, the Richfield Coliseum had them. Not as many corporate accounts because it was out in the boonies. The move downtown was a huge change, which is actually precisely why it happened. It was more profitable.
 
Bring it on. If they find it hard to win against no offense bucks, good luck to them facing the defending champ.
