I want to play the bucks for the novelty, but the raptors losing gives me a sense of home
 
I think it's gonna be the Raptors. Milwaukee really blew it putting up 76 in game 4 at home.

I think the Cavs beat both teams in 5. Mainly hoping the series goes 7. Would probably rather play Milwaukee because they don't have as much interior size but we can always just LBJ at the 4 Toronto to death easily.
 
Rather play MIL. Giannis is another beast but he is a piss poor 3 point shooter. Just control the fast break points from him (easier said that done) and he should be somewhat limited. Plus I think LBJ would take the challenge personally with an up and coming youngster coming for him (or say they say)
 
Without Jabari, give me the bucks. Their athleticism and energy will get them a game, especially with Giannis looking like the air apparent to LBJ but they aren't a real threat to eliminate us.

Toronto we would beat also but I think it would be a challenge, they are more battle tested.

Want to play the raptors for the drake barney factor

Bucks brought out the Barney joke we would have to take it to the next level
 
Dont really mind, suppose I should say the apparently weaker team in the Bucks but the Raptors win 2 games max, they dont have it in them to do what they need to in Cleveland and anytime the game is tight near the end we'll win.
 
The Bucks have the best player, Bucks play the best team defense, LeBron already broke Toronto's best players years ago. Raps are an easy selection, but we will beat either of them.
 
You wanna play the Bucks until Delly chop blocks Kyrie....
 
Cavs can obliterate either team in 4, full strength or not. The question is who hits more garbage shots than the other?
 
Before moving onto the second round, since we have some time here, let's take a moment to appreciate just what LeBron and the Cavs have done since he came into the league.

32-5 in the first round (5 sweeps) - You almost never have to be concerned about the first round. Yeah, sometimes the games are closer than one would prefer. But they always seem to come out on top.

28-4 against the East since his return (15-1 at home)

18-6 on the road (13-3 against the East)

Most threes in a playoff game

Biggest halftime deficit overcome in a playoff game

A sweep over the greatest 7th seed of all time coached by the greatest basketball coach ever

The greatest performance in a game by teammates ever

The greatest finals series ever

The only 3-1 comeback in the finals ever

Just the third team to win a finals game 7 on the road (out of 19 total)

Just the 25th road team to win a game 7 on the road, any round (out of 126 total)



I'm sure there are more, but holy shit has it been fun to have LeBron on this team. It's tough to appreciate these things in the moment, but I can't imagine there are going to be too many years left with LeBron at the peak of his powers. Enjoy them while we can.
 
I'd prefer the Bucks, I think it'll be more entertaining than the same ole Raptors story. Plus I could drive up and catch a game cheap!

This

I think we win both in 5 or 6 but the difference is that Mil will play is tough and Toronto will be blowouts in wins and losses.
