LeBron James on the minds of Heat fans ahead of Raptors series

The Raptors finally pulled out a playoff series win on Sunday, but the party was short-lived when fans realized their home team would be going head to head with Dwyane Wade and the boys from South Beach.

Especially with all of this coming out of Miami on Monday:

From the moment the series was set Heat fans were out to prove they do not mess around.

You must be dedicated to your team to keep from listening to #VIEWS.

The tension between fans? It isn't really about any rivalry or beef between the Raps and the Heat. It's about James, LeBron James. Miami fans, of course, enjoyed LeBron's talents before he took them back to Cleveland.

Some fans south of the border even threatened war if the North didn't give them the LeBron/Heat matchup they've been waiting for.

Regardless of who you're cheering for the Heat/Raptors series should be a good one — on paper at least.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, Lakers' legend Magic Johnson thinks that if the LeBron/Miami showdown does go down the Heat could very well take it.
