    Prediction

    - 96
    - 107

    I have a bad feeling the Cavs will get their revenge for their loss against us opening night. LeBron is playing like a man possessed right now, and if you didn't like Hedo before tonight's match-up, my guess is you're going to dislike him evenmore once LeBron's finished with him.

    Well my predictions have come out the opposite the last 4 or 5 games so I am gonna say the Dinos lose this one!

    LeBron is gonna be LeBron so I say let him get his points and try to lockdown everyone else. The Cavs have a couple lights out shooters from beyond the arc in Parker, Gibson and Williams, so the Dinos are going to have to do a better job at defending the 3 pt line than they have recently. Should be an entertaining game.


    LET'S GO RAPTORS!

        That's what I'm expecting too.

          It'll be interesting to see how much the Raptors can force Cleveland into playing a small ball lineup ... in order to defend Bargnani on the perimeter ... I'm thinking close to half the game.

          Jawad Williams has been playing some minutes for the Cavs recently. I'm looking forward to seeing him play tonight ... to see whether he's a legitimate rotation player or not. I doubt he is, but if he is then he provides a different sort of option lineup wise with his quickness, overall athleticism and ability to play that combo forward role. A role which would help the Cavs lineup flexibility.

              Two quick fouls on Hedo ... worrying.

              That will hurt the Raptors offensive versatility. Might be wise to go with Calderon earlier than normal. Allow him to be the lead playmaker while Hedo sits.

                Nice finish on the layup by Bargnani against Shaq.

                    Shaq was a liability defensively against Toronto.

                    Better for Cleveland to have Varejao out there.

                      DeRozan has been finishing his short jumpers + runners + around the rim against contact much better nowadays

                        Haha, lucky finish ... nice job by Antoine Wright attacking the basket to draw a foul ... while going against the shot clock after having to go into the backcourt to retrieve the ball.

                          The Raptors have played very well without Turkoglu in the first quarter.

                            Excellent screen by Shaq on Bosh in the backcourt as James was dribbling upcourt

                              These two teams cannot defend one another.

                              The Raps defend the Cavs marginally better than other way around though.
