I mean, we've never officially made it a thing, but it is pretty obvious at this point that if you leave the Toronto Raptors franchise, or if you are defeated by the Toronto Raptors franchise in a seven game series, bad things happen to you and your franchise.
There is a Raptors curse.
We beat the Pacers --> Vogel fired
We beat the Heat --> Dwyane Wade leaves Miami
We beat the Magic --> Isaac injuries/Mo Bamba is a bust
We beat the Sixers --> Jimmy Butler leaves Philly
We beat the Bucks --> Giannis/Bud exposed
We beat the Warriors --> Kevin Durant leaves Golden State
We beat the Nets --> Vaughan fired
And if we had beaten the Celtics last year you can bet your ass Brad would have gotten canned too.
Kawhi leaves --> Lost up 3-1 vs. Nuggets
Serge leaves --> Misses his most games in a season ever
Nate leaves --> Underperforming all year for the Pacers
Chris leaves --> Timberwolves still Timberwolves
