The Toronto Raptors get their second chance to knock off the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers. The only team to defeat the Cavs so far are the Hawks, as Cleveland has brushed aside most challengers to post a plus_7.4 margin. The Raptors are right behind at plus_6.1.
LeBron James heads every conversation about the Cavaliers, as he’s staking a serious claim as the GOAT. The completeness of his game is what impresses me most. Sure, he scores in every way possible, but he’s also averaging 9.1 assists per game [PG], and he’s a legitimate DPoY candidate every season.
