i was referring to contending teams
raptors have made playoffs 5 years in a roww
no other fan-base still gets caught up in the regular season like you guys do
despite 5 years of evidence that regular season success has no connection with the playoffs


Youre just wrong here....Raptor fans are caught up in the regular season ? :russ:

5 years of playoffs and this is our first year being the top seed in the East...We were in the ECF 2 years ago and lost 2nd round last year both to Bron.
Clearly the regular season did connect to equivalent playoff success....

Crazy thing is they could’ve had this core and Wade :skip: guess wade wanted to carry the titanic for another season though :hhh: shoulda at least waited to have the farewell season when Miami wasn’t god awful
:why:
Miami would beat the Cavs in the playoffs :mjgrin:
Y'all don't want no smoke :hhh:

ill keep it simple for you
raps beat wizards 3-0 in regular season
when they played them in the playoffs, raptors lost 4-0

ya'll beat the pacers easily in the regular a season few years back, and went life and death with em in the playoffs
even the bucks series last year was a struggle

Ya'll think cause yall won in the regular season against them, it should be a breeze in the playoffs, and when it isn't you blame the refs or casey lol

its a different ball game, but yall still talking about you want more attention and credit because of regular season success lol. you guys are beyond that

if the raps want real attention, they need to come out in the first and blow the bucks or miami out of the water
no struggle wins, a sweep or 5 games

lets see how those young dudes hold up in the playoffs (and lowry and an lesser degree derozen)
it definitely will be interesting
its the perfect year for dem to make a push since the east is in disarray

2015 playoffs Lowry had a bad elbow,it defintely effected his shooting and play in that series...

We had 2 bad games vs the Bucks last year but still won in 6 which is about what we should have done...Celtics in 2008 took 7 games to beat the 8 seeded Hawks but we cant take 6 to beat MIL (3v6)

Sometimes it goes 6 or 7 but how the raptors win a series now is so much more important than other teams LoL...

how are we beyond that ? We have never been the top seed before,they deserve more credit for wha they did this year cuz nobody expected it from them.....but to say its not different than past years is just being obtuse,they never had a team this deep or felt could come out the East....yall still talking about 2014 and 2015 like they were 1 seeds that won 60 games....yall lying to urselves cuz you cant admit you wrong in hindsight.

Raps were a 4 seed in 2015 and lost to a 5 seed and thats the biggest choke yall talk about...intellectual dishonesty breh cuz its the raptors...

I actually think after watching that game last night if you're rooting for Cleveland you should be seriously worried about Toronto even more.

I don't know what y'all were watching, but I saw a high scoring close game. Yes they had a 15 point lead but the Cavs shot an UNSUSTAINABLE percentage.

Whiteside would be subbed out by the mid 1st trying to run with Love. The sheer PG depth would have Dragic asking to go back to the Suns. After that who y’all got left? Wade is dead ass y’all best playoff performer as it is

You don't watch Heat games :francis:
We play with depth and as a cohesive unit. Wade is obviously our closer and is still good at it. The Dragon thrives in fast pace games and solid on defense. Josh Richardson is really underrated, he'll do just fine guarding anyone on the perimeter besides Lebron. Tyler is hot and cold, so he'll give us one 20+ scoring game per series. James Johnson will be the important piece in a series vs Cleveland. No one stops Lebron, but JJ will limit him if his minds right. He's solid on O, if he's on. Kelly Olynyk in a series against Cleveland will make the high IQ plays, he'll be fine as long as he's not guarding Lebron in space. Wayne Ellington has a role and does it well. Bam is having a good rookie campaign. Justise is slowly turning it around, still scared he'll miss 10 layups in a game though.
With our team, we just need to get it close and have Wade do his thing.
Is Love going to be your center against Whiteside? For real? :patrice:
That might be a problem if Hassan's hips haven't healed up yet. If he's 100% healthy, I'm not worried though.

The Cavs were at home with Toronto coming off a game and 9 in the last 14, wtf are you talking about. If anyone was giving the Cavs points they were playing with scrub bettors.

Anyway Casey lost this game. Should have played JV more than 20 minutes. Love at Center with him in the game was good for Toronto's dribble penetration. Cleveland gave up 79 in the half and Toronto had 0 fast breaks.
Half of the Cavs rotation is missing.....(I wasn’t talking about odds makers necessarily) but anyone who picked the Cavs as a favorite WITH HALF THE ROTATION MISSING is bugging out.....against a fully healthy 1 seeded team, don’t care bout a back to back.

There's only on person in that rotation that matters and that's Nance because he actually can play a semblance of defense. Stop acting like them other nikkas mean shyt on D.

Didn't Love drop like 40 on him earlier this season?
No, Spo outsmarted himself that game. Whiteside was doing okay and the game was close; he thought going smaller would help, it didn't :martin:
Kevin Love went off when Whiteside sat and our defense got worse when he was not on the floor.
I hope Spo learned from that. Spo does hate Hassan though :pachaha:

I doubt miami and cle meet in the playoffs.

Heat vs celtics more likely....though i guess a second round meet is possible if kyrie doesn'tmake it
