I'm so disappointed watching Boston go up 2-0. We should have beat the cavs and as well as the celtics and been in the finals. Unlike a lot of you who think we overachieved and don't have the talent, I strongly disagree and actually think we massively underachieved this post season. We have the talent, unfortunate Freddie got hurt and Delon should have got more playing time. In the end bad defense and horrendous rotations cost us the cavs series. Boston is proving the scrub team the cavs are. We pissed away game 1, demar lost his confidence and our rightful chance to get into the finals. Boston actually did us a favour as the only team that should have beat us was Philly and Boston took them out.

You ask any raps player and they will tell you they would have beat the celtics and I believe they would have unless the refs pulled some serious **** which they tend to do. I'm still so angry that we lost to the damn cavs.

We shouldn't have because we stink

We overachieve in the regular season, and underachieve in the postseason. It's the same song every single year we've made the playoffs.

we were fake number 1 seed.

This core is just flawed and our coach was incompetent in the playoffs. Getting sweep by the Cavs was a good wake up call to Masai.

This is why Bud doesn't want to come here. Our core is a joke. Casey was a joke. Fire Masai and get Hinkie in here to right this ship.

There is nothing to feel bad about. Boston lost two key players and fought all season. Cleveland had a major overhaul mid season which meant LBJ had to integrate several new players in 30+ games.

Toronto had very few injuries by comparison and had homecourt advantage. It wasn't a bad break or two. The team just didn't execute, and the worst is that they didn't play with heart. Zero toughness.

Not sure how you fix that.

This. The fact a shorthanded Boston is able to do the opposite of what the Cavs did to the Raptors says a lot.

This core is soft trash

Bunch of trash ass nice guys. Horford clowns Ibaka and jv combined

Fake all stars

DeMar doesn’t have the heart of a fighter. He’s a nice guy. Not willing to step into the face of LeBron or other great players (George comes to mind). JV is nice, OG is nice, Delon, CJ - the list goes on and on.

No heart.

No fight.

I don’t give a sh** about high-character, married men who love their kids and donate to charity.

We need grit.

Our team “leader” cannot be out here talking about how mans “might have our number”. TF is that?

Jason Tatum is a first year mother f***ing rookie.

We would get swept by the Celtics. Lue ran circles around Casey. I shudder to think what Stevens would do to him.

Their players would also suffocate our soft ass fake all-stars with their intensity.

Maybe PGeorge will join LeBron on the Sixers next year too. And/or either of these teams could trade for Kawhi as well.

Smh. I’m fine with one more year try a new coach with the Raps. But our window is closing or has closed already. This was the year. If we get embarrassed next year as well, finally Blow it up Masai

Edit - yes I quoted my own post. Thanks lol

'Deep benches' mean nothing in the playoffs when rotations are shortened to start.

The Celtics are just as deep as us...

Our window has closed. It's time to rebuild now while the rest of the conference is competing.

The Celtics have a coach that knows how to manage rotations.

Fire the fraud Masai. Hire hinkie and end this madness. Please fire Masai, what a joke of a GM.

Real disappointing. On the point of infuriating.

I agree with you, this team SHOULD have gone to the finals. Typical of many raptor fans being very short sighted. The raps margin for error to beat the cavs was very small due to confidence issues.

They had some atrocious calls at home, game 1 should not have come down to a bunny but casey's defense and the refs had a hand to play and the bull call on lowry in the first half of game 2 on that lebron charge which gave lowry three fouls was a turning point. In the end it did bring one good outcome casey is gone. Did derozan play scared? yes is ibaka really 35 years old? yes...all that said, this team should have beat the cavs and the celtics.

In the end the warriors would have beat them, and for me as a very long raptor fans, i weight success as finals or championship, it would have been nice to see them in the finals, and they definitely should have been there, so YES MAJOR UNDERACHIEVEMENT, AND VERY VERY EMBARRASSING.

Casey is gone which is great, but they aren't getting to the finals anymore, definitely not next year. Wasted season because we certainly had enough talent to get to the finals.

It's very sad....I still can't believe it happened, it's very hard to process how mentally weak some of these guys are...
