It's actually less embarrassing to let the Cavs keep shooting open 3 than this.

Well, those Raptors fans DID want the Cavs...

And here we are....

I mean if we only go back a few years the '14 Pacers were pretty bad

Cleveland is pretty good.

Toronto... not so much.

I guess that would make the Heat trash then

We have the luxury of saying we missed our 2nd and 3rd best player, what about the Raps? Jv,Maybe he'll reduce the 22pt deficit to 15 instead when he returns in game 3-4.

The Raps are in the conference finals and have a top 10 pick in the draft. I take that over a team on vacation whose best player might need to medically retire *shrug*

I hate this mentality. After the best season in franchise history we're supposed to give up on the next 5 years because of lebron?....and we're supposed to give this up for a slight chance to have a better team, when realistically after a blow up we would be lucky to make it to the conference finals in 10 years

Nonsense

They'll definitely retool their frontcourt and their bench. That 1st round pick won't be too shabby either, whether they use it or use it as a trade piece. You don't blow up a team after their best year in franchise history.

So you would re-sign Derozan to a max?

Real GM Fact #2 - Hassan Whiteside would dominate and break Lebron James in half.

Your teams on vacation buddy

And the Raps aren't? Sure looks like it

Yet here we are while you are watching my favourite team instead of yours. 8-)

Hey Cavs fans, let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Thunder came back from a 14 pt half time deficit last night. They have 2 all stars, Raps have 2 all stars. The comeback is on.

Why would Raptor fans be salty? we've already conceded that Cavs were better than us pre series.

Bosh was clearly your best player and the Heat still took that series to 7 games despite not having homecourt advantage

Honestly you can argue between Bosh,Whiteside, Wade as 1a,1b,1c in terms of OVERALL impact. However yes, a lot of Heat fans weren't that bummed long after game 7, they all knew it was basically a match to see who gets slaughtered in the ECF without Bosh and Hassan.

Cavs are known to get complacent and give up big leads. I'll never feel safe until the clock hits 0.

A product of all the trolling that was going on in that MIA vs TOR thread. I couldn't even bring myself to hangout in there it was so toxic about nonsense.

TOR isn't a bad team. Like CLE got no respect this year, along with everybody else not named SAS or GSW, TOR still finished with Top 5 NBA record. That's what funny when people say stupid things like "is this the worst team in ECF"...which would've been said of MIA/CHA/IND had any of them advanced. The trolls are never happy and just need to be angry internet keyboard gangstas. Sad.

Looks like there's a ton of Heat fans (not all) that have no interest in talking about the series or games and just want to take shots at the Raps after getting taken out.

All Raps fans in here should just ignore their posts, stop replying or quoting them.

Personally, I wouldn't but he's going to get the max from someone. You said they will blow it up, though. lol
