Man, Lebron owns the Raptors just as much as he owns us.

I think it's worse for them. He actually gives them a fighting chance before snatching their souls. With the Hawks he'd just demoralize them from the outset.

Toronto losing as a 7 point favorite.
They need to win this series so badly and yet they lose game one.
Lebron is just that damn good.

I was thinking ingles is a top 10 MVP candidate in the postseason. :lol: I know...strange but he’s played really well. He also ran over Ariza Aussie style like its Rugby. Him and Ben Simmons are kind of pissing me off actually. :lol:

Lol serious we the north took a horrible turn for the worse.

I’m thinking Cavs (Spud’s team on who did better in the big Kyrie trade) over the Celts (Macdaddy’s pick for winner of the trade) in 5 games.

Actually it’ll prolly be the Sixers not the Celts so it’s over before it even started.

1-0 Spud...

Thoughts? (From Macdaddy or anyone lol)...

How I honestly felt just watching LeBron.

Apologies in advance to any Jamaican/Caribbeans if they get flashbacks to their parents

That Raptors team is psychologically shattered.

That team should've blown it up and rebuilt just like us. This core isn't winning anything with Lebron still churning.

Brian Windhorst just farted waiting to interview Lebron. I’m not surprised. He just looks like he has diarrhea all the time.

Oh, the Cavs won...yeaaa.

If I’m the Blazers and saw this Raptors game, I’d look to trade CJ McCollum asap. This Raptor team is the Blazers ceiling if they are lucky.


I remember us interviewing Dwayne Casey about 7 or 8 years ago. Glad we didn’t get him because he’s an awful coach. Just awful.

Philly needs a traditionally sized pg, a guy like Rozier just runs all through them because nobody can match up with him. They should have used the Fultz deal on a good vet pg.

Agreed I’d still use Simmons as the focal point in offense but having a traditional sized point guard as you said would put another shooter on the floor to spread the court.

I couldn't even imagine the different kinds of magic Kyrie would of flashed on them. They may not get Young in the draft, but Sexton should be there. It's unfair how bright their future really is. They should be able to accommodate a tier 1 free agent and even a point like Thomas if need be this summer.

They won’t get Young or Sexton. They don’t have a lotto pick. They have the Lakers shot which is around 1-2%. F the Celts. At some point Alice will fail them and I will be watching and laughing.
