Cavaliers in 5 over the Hawks.

I really want the Hawks to push the Cavs beyond 5 games, but I just don't see anyone on their roster that can even give LeBron problems (on offense).

Not sure on Heat and Raptors, but it will likely be a 7 game series. I'll take the Raptors, but if Lowry continues to play poorly they are sunk.

Raptors can't continue to have pathetic offense. Can't have DeRozan taking 30 shots while being the only aggressive player at that end and expect to win. Especially with Whiteside in the paint.

Unless something changes with them I'm saying Heat in 6.

Cavs in 5. Would love to see the Hawks give them a series like we saw against Boston but they don't have the offensive firepower to keep up with the Cavs big 3.

Heat in 6. Didn't watch any of TOR's series but going off what others have said I think the Heat will take it

Raps in 6 (Have no interest in seeing a Heat/Cavs series.)

Have the Cavs in 5 or 6, they have no one that can contain LBJ but I think they will try to let him get his while trying to limit Kyrie, Love and our 3 point shooting.

Got Raptors in 6, they match up a lot better defensively and I expect Toronto backcourt to play better this series.

Re: 2016 Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

The Heat love is because people want to see Heat/Cavs play for a trip to the Finals(the whole Lebron vs Wade thing that'll get pimped out....but it's a "team game" though). I thought that much was obvious.

Oh and the fact that not many people outside of Canada care for Toronto either.

Re: 2016 Eastern Conference Playoffs - 2nd Round Discussion Thread

Cavs in 4- I don't think the Hawks match up all that well here. This isn't gonna be four straight blowouts but don't see Cavs dropping one either.
Toronto in 7- This one should be good. Not sure what's up with Lowry's shot but he's still been playing well otherwise. If he can get that shot back, I'd feel more confident about the Raptors here. But even if he doesn't, Miami doesn't have anyone that will consistently kill them like PG did.

Cavs in 5

Raptors in 7

Don't really need to go into the Cavs series as I think we can agree that the Hawks don't have enough to take down Lebron and Co. for 4 games.

The Raptors/Heat series should be really entertaining. It'll be interesting to see who Carroll and Powell get to defend as they've been locked in on the defensive side of the floor as well as showing some good shooting on the other end. I think the Raptors will play a lot freer and not have so much pressure on their shoulders. Defensively the Heat should be a lot easier on the Raptors to score against and I see this being more of an uptempo series.
