TORONTO -- Based on what the coaches are saying, the Cavaliers and Raptors are going to get rough with one another tonight in Game 3.

Players, coaches, refs, fans. Consider yourselves warned.

"To beat the champs, you got to throw punches," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "Whether they're haymakers, undercuts or whatever. Maybe a couple below the belt. But you got to box. You got to fight, you got to compete."

The Cavs lead the series 2-0 and have dominated both games. They've never lost a series in which they've won the first two games (13-0), and the same goes for LeBron James (19-0).

The Raptors have taken offense to James basically taunting them the first two games, and it was because of those taunts that Casey said earlier Friday that the Raptors should get more physical with the Cavs.

Funny, the Cavs heard the same message from coach Tyronn Lue.

"That's pretty interesting because we talked about today that we could be more physical," Lue said. "I thought with (Jonas) Valanciunas and those guys rolling to the basket, we have to be more physical. We showed them a clip yesterday that we had to bring more physicality to the game. So, we've got to be more physical but we've got to be smart doing that."

James, who's averaging 34.2 points per game in the 2017 playoffs, has shown throughout his 14-year career that getting rough with him typically doesn't rattle him.

Of course, any talk of heightened physicality in a playoff series immediately conjures images of the Cavs' 2015 first-round series against Boston, in which Kelly Olynyk ripped Kevin Love's shoulder out and J.R. Smith was suspended two games for punching Jae Crowder.

"They're going to be more physical. We have to be more physical, but we also have to keep our composure," Lue said.
