REACTION: Cleveland Cavaliers to Face Toronto Raptors in PLAYOFFS?! | Good Matchup for Cavs?!
On this edition of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham reacts to the Cleveland Cavaliers drawing the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the NBA playoffs. He begins the show by saying how the biggest win of the day for the Cavs wasn’t their own, but rather the Boston Celtics beating the Orlando Magic to vault Toronto up to the No. 5 seed. Danny breaks down where he thinks the Cavs will have advantages over the Raptors and where they must be careful. Next, Danny reflects on what has been a long season for the Cavaliers that saw them use 41 different starting lineups in 82 games. Finally, Danny breaks down the good things he saw in the game on Sunday against the Washington Wizards.

🚨🚨😱😡😏
on Prime, at least Saturday…don't get it, and think I already used the free trial…all play-in games on Prime too
Time for coach to quit the 3 guard lineups. That is why perimeter D sucks. Tomlinson should get some minutes as backup, tall enough to defend wings.
it would be a failure if the cavs dont sweep the first round
harden and mitxhell will be motivated, if cavs beat the raps i will enjoy watching. lets go raptors, scottie is going to dominate, he has been coasting and BI in a groove, wait for jakobe and rj bullyball cavs wont enjoy
Cavs in 5
Toronto might be a worse match up than Atlanta actually 💯 we shall see
lol too confident
It's funny how you guys get Harden and all of a sudden Raptors have no chance. Last time I checked, Harden and Mitchell have a bad playoff resume. Harden also can't defend and the same for Mitchell. But it's cool. Sleep on Toronto and wake up going on vacation. Playoffs is a different beast where the hardest playing team wins.
Most fans i talked to is confident against the Raptors but am I the only one worried we going to lose this series? Raps are a good team.
Raps vs Cavs will not be 5 games
Danny wadup !!!! …. let's go Cleveland !!! …. ✌️.
Rsps in 6
We the raptors fan wanted to play yall also you guys are the it was weakest out of the top four teams
I feel like the 1st round series against Toronto is the opportunity for the Cavs to redeem themselves against the Raptors, because the Cavaliers lost all the matchups to Toronto in the regular season.
Raps fan here – so glad we landed Cleveland. Yall are the weakest out of the highest seed teams. Yall are soft and cant defend 😂
Toronto about to be smoking that SPIDA PACK 🚬
Raptors fan here. It’s definitely going to be a 6 or 7 game
The Cavs will be rightly favored to win, but I'm not sure why you think Atlanta is a tougher matchup for the Cavs and the Raptors.
The Raptors swept both the Cavs and the Hawks and this is the series that Raptors fans wanted.
Expect the league's fifth ranked defense to lock down when it matters.
Looking forward to it
All these TOR fans in the comments need to go find something to do. Smh.
Raptors are low in pace but is first in fast break points🧐 pulling at straws here
Literally my ONLY worry is karma kicking our ass because of the LeBronto years
RAPTORS have a good chance to upset the Cavs, Raptors have won many games this year Playing fast pace, The Cavs don't defend the Raptors very well I say Raptors in 6 CMB, Barnes will play top tear defense on the Cavs teust me, plus they won't be able to stop Barrett or Ingram from getting buckets.
I love how all you guys make excuses for the regular season loss. This cavs team didnt get any bigger. Youre under estimating the raptors. Arrogant fools!!!
