Game 1 today at 9pm Eastern time in Toronto on ABC. In case you didn't know Toronto has home court advantage.

538 fives Toronto a slight edge though the Warriors are a heavy Vegas favorite.

1. What's your prediction, Jon?

I'm taking the hobbled Warriors in 6.

3. I say it's broom-time ... hobbled Warriors in 4 baby!!! (nt)

7. I'll go with Raptors in 7

Primarily because of Kawhi + home court.

8. Would be nice to see

Just for the sake of spreading about the championships. The Warriors have been pretty damn dominant.

Too bad for Toronto if they can't hold on to Kawhi next season though. Sounds like he's likely set on heading west.

9. I'm not sure anything is set is stone

Toronto has done everything right in trying to lure him. They said on The Jump or Sportscenter that free agency will come down to Toronto & the Clippers. If he does want to go out west he can join the Suns.

2. should be a good series.

Eta should be interesting to see the lineups, I suspect GS will go small and reduce the impact of gasol.

4. It's so funny, because I was watching the Stanley Cup in a bar yesterday....

and I know that many Canadians are more excited about the NBA finals!

5. Little known fact...

Even though the Canadian teams were eliminated, the St. Louis Blues have the roster with the most Canadian players out of all the playoffs teams (18).

6. That's interesting!

They do have a bruising style of play.
