If Siakam even played half as good as he did in the beginning of the season, we would be in the Finals.

This season feels like a wasted opportunity. Who knows what happens next season.

The Nets are going to try and form a super team. If the Lakers lose I think they go hard after CP3. The Celtics will look to add for sure. Denver should be aggressive. The Clippers will go all in with Kawhi and PG on expiring contracts.

Regardless of the outcome, this is the largest asterisk championship in NBA history.

Lakers are going to mop the floor with the overrated Cheat.

LA in 4. It’ll be a sweep, book it.

You guys need to get over the series we lost

We probably weren’t winning a title the second Kawhi signed elsewhere. As well as we played against the Lakers in the regular season, I didn’t need to see us get destroyed by Lebron in the Finals. Lowry is my favorite player of all time but if he’s your best player by far, you probably aren’t winning it all

I like the Lakers chance here. Should be another ring for Bron.

Raptors would be in the finals if Siakam plays 50% of his normal self and or we have normal home/away games

100% confident in this

The heat have to be the weakest finalists ever..in any sport?

We should have beat them. It was supposed to be a close series imo but we should have came out on top. This is on Siakam

Yes it's frustrating. But I look forward to next season. Siakam will our Bam. Lowry is our Butler. OG better than or Crowder an aging Iggy. TDII will be our Herro. Not sure if Matt is big enough to get his shot off as easily as Duncan R., but he could be our JJ Redick. If Serge signs a one-year deal, and Fred doesn't walk without fair compensation, we can still compete with these teams.

Lol raps fans...

Siakim is not one tenth bam... and well...no need to go further....

Facts. Raptor fans delusional and in shambles.

What's your problem with the Heat being in the finals? They're balling out and played far better than we did. TBH they might even have the better roster than us. IIRC We lost the season series matchup 2-1.

ya the 2020 Heat are better than the 2018 Cavs.....I still don't know how the Raptors got swept by that Lebron led lottery team :lol:

The Golden Boy of coaches (Stevens) won't get too much criticism but he should the main culprit.

I reckon Nurse would have won the all thing with a combined talent of Tatum, Brown, Kemba, Smart, Gordon.
Had the role been reverse Nurse would have beaten the Raps and Heat in 5.

This one looks a bit easy for LeBron

Not even close,
the Nets had a number 1 pick (Kenyon M), a number 2 pick (Keith VH), a number 8 pick(KK) and Jason Kidd. (and Richard Jefferson)
@AirCanada I have to agree. Weakest finalists ever!!! LeBron cannot believe his luck

I'll break my rule against responding to trolls and haters this time. Raps had injuries all season, including the times the Heat beat us - and one of those was very narrow.

Why do you bother to follow the team with 2nd best record overall last season - actually, the last three seasons in a row - who swept what looks to be the eventual champion this season? Why not follow a real contender, like the Bucks or something?

Boston was just a horrible matchup for us where we couldn't play Gasol and Ibaka. At least vs Miami either of them would have been semi-useful against Bam.

And also depends if we have Spicy P or Playoff P suiting up for us......

If we made into the ECF, Gasol would have been eaten alive by Bam. Today the Heat's comeback started as soon as Theis came back in in the 4th Q and Bam started driving on Theis for consecutive scores. Maybe OG defends Bam but then it's Gasoal chasing Robinson or Iggy around.

Wrong, Gasol would have shown his value if we moved on against the Celtics. BAM would have gotten the treatment and we would have shut him down, there aren't many players in the league that can guard Jimmy as good as Lowry. DRAGC would get his, and we'd be better rhan celtics at guarding heat shooters.
