I hope Lebron doesn’t leave those Cleveland fans..dude needs to retire a cav and if he ever wins just one more ring, it will be worth twice as much if he ring chases.

Why do people keep saying this?? If they were the better team they would have atleast 1 win in this series don't ya think?? I can understand losing a 50/50 game but they are currently getting swept!


Its literally ALLLL Lebron

Jordan wouldn’t be 6-0 if he faced the Spurs and Warriors 3x each to be fair...very weak finals opponents compared to Lebron


Yeah he would. Those teams would be shooting 30-% every game under the old rules.

Right. Because LeBron isn’t the best help defender at the wing ever? Hmm.


I was floored by that help D in the finals last year, was definitely GOAT worthy allowing all those open dunks over 5 games. GOAT derpy derp.


MJ certainly locked everyone up in his 15th season during the playoffs, right?

Oh, wait...

How could you possibly have stopped him?


double team and trap him at half court and force him to pass...Raps just let him jog up the court


The reason that people don't just double LeBron all willy nilly is because what he's best at, what he really wants to do is pass the ball. I think people would prefer the one footed one handed shot off the backboard from 20 over what likely would have been a layup by another player going 4 on 3.

What mercy? Game 1 went to OT. Game 3 came down to the last shot. People are acting like the Raps are getting steamrolled.


This is a serious question. There were 0.3 seconds left. Why didn't the Raptors get the ball?

I genuinely want to know


The score keeper didn't stop the clock and the refs must have said F it.
According to NBA rules, iirc, 0.3 seconds is not enough time to catch it shoot, so it'd have to be a full-court heave resulting in a tip-in dunk. I am still surprised that the refs didn't make them attempt that...seems to happen a lot (unnecessary and impractical game extensions due to time left on the clock).

All season I've constantly been telling people that KL was better than DD and nobody believed me

"DD has added a 3pt shot, DD is passing now" etc etc. It was all a false narrative. He's trash, Lowry has, is, and always will be the heart and soul of this team

Lol he just might be actually. Expected though as time goes on Jordan becomes underrated. His competitive level is too much for anyone to handle. Lebron included


MJ wouldn't lose to the spurs and he would have broken curry's spirit. Sorry kids, you'll never have your new goat. MJ came and died for your sins already. Just accept him.

Curry?? Could you imagine how Durant would hold up to MJ verbally abusing him all series? He'd be a wreck

Raptors fans are being trolled because of all those fans that kept insisting this was a completely different team that could actually make the Finals. Anyone that said they wouldn't believe it until it actually happened was called a biased hater. Some fans were even arguing that Derozan and Lowry's playoff struggles were comparable to Chris Paul's playoff issues.

This is true, but some Raps fans also bring this on. I dont usually go back and bring up the conversations before the series, but those Raps fans dont either. Would probably be less trolls if more of the fans that make the bold predictions actually admitted they were wrong after the fact. Instead it looks like some of them only come out when the Raptors are playing well.

Making a bold prediction isn’t an excuse for people to be ****. And clearly some think it is. There are people here who only wait for them to lose and say ****. ThTs a lot different than others only talking when they win, that’s not negative **** like these other idiots post.

I know everyone is gonna troll the raptors and raptors fans are gonna be pissed.

This is more about Lebron vs pacers and Lebron vs Toronto more than anything.

At age 33 he's making the goat conversations even better. Your always gonna have ppl say MJ better 6-0 and because the internet. But Lebron is that ********* good
