That 2019 Raptors team is only a legend in the mind of Raptor fans.
Oh the hypocrisy in this Laker's fans post.

Of course you have to make it about the Nets because you know I'm right.
I'm not taking anything away from the Raptors winning a title. I just think there is no way they beat the Lakers this year. Sorry.
Some teams get lucky. I wish my Nets could have faced an injured team in the Finals and won.
You totally are and that's clearly your intent. It's pretty obvious so don't try to downplay it now. Your main concern should be on your franchise getting out of the first round before having any grand wishes on getting to the finals before hurling insults at franchises that have actually won a championship. It's petty and it shows your insecurities by deflecting them at the expense of the success of others.
It's sad how you guys can't have a rational discussion without resorting to attacks against the team I root for.
I'm allowed to have an opinion on how good the Raptors were last year. They played a hobbled Warriors team last year and thats just a fact. A lot of people in media agree with me and I've heard others say it several teams.
This discussion has nothing to do with the Nets.

Lakers in 4/5.

Sorry but not sorry. Your takes are awful and you're very inconsistent so you have it coming just like we too are allowed our own opinions of the team you root for. They aren't attacks, just facts.
One minute you're saying the Raptors championship is an asterisk, the next you're claiming you're not taking anything away from the Raptors winning a title. Stick to your slant and stop flip flopping. You're not rational as you claim to be, I mean you just sound very bitter. Your whole argument is that the Raptors were lucky last year and would get destroyed by the Lakers, not exactly a lot of room for discussion with a close minded take like that. Anyways, too bad for you, they don't give out asterisks for championships.

You can attack the Nets. But has nothing to do with this thread lol. If you go off topic you're just derailing the discussion.
Raptors did get lucky in facing an injured team. I don't know why you're so defensive about it. Thats my view and I'm seen plenty of pundits on TV say the same thing. Its not some crazy wild opinion like you're making it out to be.
Be happy you won a Championship. But that Raptors team would not beat the Lakers. And they were not that great. We saw that when they lost to a lower seed this year.

They're not that good, just better than the field right now, which is completely watered down with no Warriors or Nets (KD) + the Clippers **** the bed. Good for them, no disrespect but they wont go down as a great team and I don't think they make the finals next season.

But you give no reason whatsoever why that Kawhi led Raptors team is inferior to this Lakers team. And your final point is just incoherent. Are you saying the Kawhi led Raptors weren't that good, or this current Raptors team wasn't that good? Because there is a huge difference, that being Kawhi. If Kawhi is still on this team, the Raptors likely beat the Celtics, and stand a good job of beating the Heat. That's literally the point of this whole discussion, does a Raptors team that still has Kawhi beat this Lakers team.
Also, the Heat just beat the Lakers without two of their stars. Surely a healthy Raptors team with Kawhi could, at they very least, steal one game themselves.
