LeBron James is headed to his sixth straight Finals appearance, which is a feat worth celebrating. This is his second trip in two years since returning to his hometown Cavaliers, blowout winners in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Toronto.
Cleveland has its own version of a "death lineup," and it doesn't include Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love.
After two breezy rounds, Cleveland's feeling the heat from the Raptors. How will they respond?
The Congo native is finally flourishing in Toronto, where he's helping save the Raptors' playoff dreams.
Love is still not a great defender, but his effort level and focus have improved significantly, which allows Cleveland to keep him on the floor and take advantage of his offensive gifts.
Making it this far is a huge accomplishment for the Toronto Raptors, and the best may yet be to come.
The midseason pickup has taken the Cavaliers to a new level because of his shooting and underrated defense.
Maybe the Cavaliers won't shoot quite as well as they did against the Hawks and Pistons, but it's no accident that they've been scorching the nets from three-point range in the playoffs.
