There's no place like home, the old cliche goes. For the Raptors, fresh off two bruising losses to the juggernaut Cavaliers in Cleveland, they've got to be believe in the power of this creaky, well-worn sentiment. The team needs all the help it can get. The Cavs and LeBron James do not appear to be slowing down.
Nevertheless, Toronto has some pride. It's taken them 15 years to get to the ECF and while defeat in the series feels inevitable (sorry, optimists), we the fans have to believe the team will strive for at least one win.
