So you can make that argument.

Yeah, Wade was clearly carrying him. Now he'll just have to sit at home and watch Wade the rest of these playoffs.

Wade didn't pass the test this round, let's see if Lebron does.

That being said, Kobe had the same argument playing with Shaq. So it is a very valid point.

Until he wins one without him.

it seems like a valid point until you realize that Shaq was option #1 on the Lakers and Wade was option #2 with Lebron around

It's funny because this picture is supposed to be a joke against the Cavs and especially LeBron, yet the Raptors won 56 games while the Thunder won 55. The Thunder are definitely better, but it's still comical how these overexaggerated narratives develop.

In fact, the Cavs have faced an opponent with a higher record in every single round compared to the Warriors, but let's keep making fun of how weak the East is.

Hell. How many games did Curry even play for the Warriors to get to the the WCF?

Cavs first round: 42 win Pistons
Warriors first rond: 41 win Rockets.
Pistons 2-0 against Rockets this season.

Cavs second round: 48 win Hawks
Warriors second round: 44 win Blazers
Hawks 2-0 against Blazers

Cavs third round: 56 win Raptors
Warriors third round: 55 win Thunder
Raptors 1-1 against Thunder.

Wow, interesting. I wouldn't have guessed those stats so thanks for providing them.

To the other guy who asked the best team the GSW beat in the playoffs the past two years it would be the Cavs (excluding Love and Irving) but I think you already knew that so not sure why you were asking?

Hey smart guy, who's the best team the Warriors have beat in the last 2 playoffs combined?

The blazers would beat both pistons or raptors

Hoping raptors make it competitive I doubt it but whatever. Seeing twitter in shambles that they won't see Lebron vs Wade in the playoffs is enough satisfaction

Obviously the Cavs are heavy favourites here as they are against any team in the East. It would be nice to take a game though.

Beating a mediocre Pacers team and the Heat who were missing 2/3 best players for most of the series and their best one and all star for the whole playoffs. And doing this with homecourt and still having each series reach 7 games.

So magical.

Aww is someone a bit mad that the raps is in the ECF. Enjoy the lottery for the next couple years you wish you had what the raps did this season: a playoff run + top 10 pick. Be in shambles hater

3 playoff series win in 21 seasons. I wouldn't wish that on any fan.

Wish our team was fully healthy. With the way Derozan and Lowry have been playing, add Jonas back, it could go 6-7 games.

Let's see how it goes, but I promise this Raptors team will not give up or crumble.

I think Raptors might get one, it's gonna be ugly most of the games. Cavs are a FAR better team than either Miami or Indy

Raps have a lot of personnel with histories of limiting LeBron's effectiveness in the playoffs, including Casey (2011 playoffs), Andy Greer (2014-15 Chicago Bulls), and DeMarre Carroll.

If Raps can maintain momentum and cool down LeBron, everyone else on that team should follow.

When is Jonas expected to return?

Lol helpful tip make sure to check your NaCl levels in your body don't want it to get it too high if the raps win a game or advance. I'll stop wasting my time with you. Enjoy shamblesland

That's definitely true, but the Raps are better than Detroit and Atlanta too. Not as much better as the Cavs are better than the Raps opponents - but it's a step up in class for both teams. I thing the Raps match up well with Cleveland and will test them. How that translates to wins - we'll see. I think the Raps can win some games.
