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.

So being excited about a team is so insulting to you that it’s an excuse to be a ****? Yea makes sense..

0-3


I have absolutely no doubt that the talking heads will insist that the Cavs are inferior to the Raps as they were inferior to the Pacers. That's just this years narrative. They have no means to change it at this time.

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...


At the same age MJ lead his team to 72Ws, back to back championships n was all NBA 1st defensive team...

So there is either 0.backwards 6 or 0.lowercase a seconds left for the Raptors to do something with.

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).


Pretty sure 0.3 is the min amount of time you can hit a shot in. I don’t get it either. There should have been time on the clock.

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

0.1. 0.2 if you're being generous. The Raps should've gotten that chance, but it was practically over.



0.3. I have it paused on my TV right noe

The rule is that the clock doesn't stop until the ball passes through the bottom of the net. There was not .3 left.

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.
Now that's a good joke brah

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 agree. And at the end of the day people keep focusing on the wrong thing. This isnt about Toronto at all - its about LeBron. But the easiest way to bash LeBron is by bashing his opponent. Luckily yall had a great season and are healthy....but people are still going to do whatever they can to belittle LeBron.

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


No way Durant is somehow not on Jordan's team by the following season. :)

But he is definitely 2nd best all time....and we're seeing his final form. What little that has been lost in his athleticism has been replaced with clutch and experience. Who has been in more playoff moments than LeBron? It's just another day at the office for him. All the pressure and scrutiny over the past 15 years has forged a diamond

Preach bruh!

With how things went that game, it wasn’t even worth it. The Cavs won because of the refs and James being a star. Case closed.

I mean.. They lost two 50/50 games.. Cavs only have one convincing win and it took goat heroics to win the other 2.. And one was a bank shot.

Its literally ALLLL Lebron

Lebron didn't drop 105 points on his own so it wasn't all Lebron. I thought the Raptors were the better team going into the Playoffs but this is getting proved to be incorrect.
