And some people were comparing raptors and sixers because they were 3-0, raptors are the real chokers and no one is close.

Why would that change this season when you look at the regular season they had? That’s a stupid argument.

Despite how this series turned out, for large portions of the series I still felt like we had the "better team." The thing is, LeBron is an absolute master at economizing and efficiently managing every single possession. The margin of error for the Cavaliers is so thin, but LeBron threads the needle time after time and chops up the Raptors defense.

Are you that dumb? Kevin love was an All-star. He was voted in but he got injured so someone took his spot.
Also, Kyrie was an all-star but even he dont want to play with Lebron. They traded kyrie for Thomas, the guy that was in the running for MVP last year as well as averaging 30ppg. He didnt like playing him so he gutted the whole team.
Like i said, trash like lebron will never be as good as Jordon.


This is a horrible argument and frankly the namecalling doesn't make it more convincing.

Love was NOT voted into the All Star game.

He was named an All star so you argument is mute.


I stand corrected. Love was voted in this year by the coaches. However, I stand by my previous comment that Lebron never played with 3 all stars in a single season. IF you want to count life time, then I'm pretty sure you can count about 15-20 all stars for someone like kobe. There was one season alone , he had eddie jones, shaq and van exel.

That`s not on Casey...the Raptors lack everything at this point.
DeRozan is getting outplayed by Smith and Korver and the only offensive weapon they have is unplayable when the Cavs hit their 3s.
Ibaka plays center and grabbed one rebound in 18 minutes.
They lacked effort and energy the whole game...most obvious problem were the mismatches the Cavs got just because the Raptors played bad transition defense.

You mean the IT who hasn’t played since March cause he needed surgery for an ongoing injury? He wouldn’t be imploding w/ them - he’d be on the bench in street clothes.

76rs have a tasty looking 10th pick this year to add to their roster

Boston still has hayward coming back

Pacers are one or two pieces away

lebron is still coaching the cavs

raptors need to make big changes if they want to hang otherwise all i see is another good season again next year and playoff struggles again.

Yeah that ship has sailed.



No chance in hell. They’ll get annoyingly hyped again next year.


Only if this team changes and still looks good. The past is the past, if we have different personnel with a different coach, you shouldn't hold this against a team.

Raptors going down with a wimper. Disgraceful. Really let the city of Toronto and the nation of Canada down this year.

Wouldn’t be shocked if traded on draft night.
