Cleveland Cavaliers Will Sweep Toronto Raptors On Way To NBA Finals

The Cleveland Cavaliers are about to embarrass the Toronto Raptors. The Miami Heat would’ve been a much better matchup against Cleveland, and the Raptors are going to get swept in this series. LeBron James put the hurt on Toronto in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and this dunk, in particular, seemed to crush them.

The Cavaliers will be undefeated in the playoffs once they reach the NBA Finals for the second year in a row, and this will be LeBron’s sixth straight trip to that round of the postseason. You can basically write him into the Finals for however long he is in the Eastern Conference.

The Cavaliers beat the Raptors 115-84 on Tuesday night, and this series will be a proper thumping. James threw down five dunks in Game 1, and some have even suggested that he lost a little weight in the time between last round and this one. The Cavaliers clearly got a long break from taking contact against other teams, but they were still putting in work.

“We didn’t rest,” James said to ESPN. “We just didn’t have a game. Coach Tyronn Lue gave us one day off. Other than that, we were in the gym working, keeping our rhythm, keeping our legs ready for whenever the game was, whenever we were going to play. So we didn’t rest. We just didn’t have a game in front of cameras.”

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are healthy options this postseason, and that can’t be understated. LeBron basically took the Golden State Warriors to six games in last season’s playoffs by himself, and it will be a different story on this go-around. Golden State might be able to beat Cleveland … if it advances past the Oklahoma City Thunder, but nothing is guaranteed.

James has the goal of bringing a championship to Cleveland, and he won’t be able to leave the Cavaliers until that happens. Some might say that he would never depart, but he has done this before. The people of Cleveland are lucky, though, because it would completely destroy LeBron’s brand to ditch them once again before winning a title. The bottom line is that the Cavaliers will be unbeaten when they reach the 2016 NBA Finals, because the Raptors don’t present a real threat.
