all I care for is standing after the all-star break!
the cavs are playing very good ball without all their pieces. That's a very balanced and versatile team that can go from shooters to gritty very fast. powe shaq varejao are all big problems for soft teams... like la.
The bulls are leading the league in both rebounding and blocks so that means defending the paint, they'll hustle past us celts or toronto if they meet 'em.
Raptors play nice european ball but if their shots are not falling scoring in the paint with that roster will not be easy against a team stacked with good bigs.

Cavs wins just keep on piling up.
Take it from someone who lives in Toronto and has attended 14 Raptor games already this year, this team's defense sucks.
It has improved as the season went on, but if the Raps can make it into the second round it would be their championship.
The biggest problem is that they're very soft mentally outside of Bosh and Jack. Turkey-glue isn't a 1/10 of the same player he was with Orlando last year and Calderon has regressed mightily. The team D actually looks significantly better when Rasho plays, but he rarely sees time since they love to push the ball so much.
The Raptors have great offense to keep a series interesting, but they suck on the road, and aren't exactly a tenacious home team either. And I think they'll be a first round exit even with homecourt.
The Bobcats are very very disciplined defensively, and the Raps have no one who can guard Jackson or Wallace. As for the Heat, I think Wade alone would beat the Raps, but I definitely think there's at least a chance of knocking Miami off.
I could see the Raps beating the Bulls however, they tend to matchup pretty well.
And for the record, the Raps are 1-3 vs Orlando, they won't stand a chance.
