Breh I'd go nuts for that kind of season at this point. If you think they can't build on this then that is another story. I wouldn't be happy about losing a series where a team tanked to play you because you were viewed as the easy target but y'all had a really good season.

I view it differently then you and being up 3-2 heightened the disappoint for me cuz it showed that we had more than a chance,we had it in the bag so to speak...

I feel you. Up 3-2 I want blood. I'm just looking at the season as a whole.

Yea but those expectations changed in January,people been doing this since yesterday with the would you take this outcome at the beg of the season which is goofy cuz shyt changes over the course of a season...Our season changed therefore the expectations with that changed....If you told me beg of the year we'd be up 3-2 and lost the series at home in 7 would it be a fail, id say yes...

We had home court we played them 2-2 in the reg season i believe we have the 2 best players on our squad,i expected us to run and play alot better than we did...I wasnt that impressed with the Nets...you gotta remember all this veteran experience bla bla they were up 3-2 with that last game at home...

KG & Pierce didnt do alot in this series...When you win 48 games and have that extra game you should have expectations to win that series...I said from the beginning if they win the division and get knocked out in the 1st round toss the banner out it means ZERO and still say that...

The season would have been a success if Lowry made that shot as of now,they gained nothing and lost out in the lottery....I dont see success in how it finished

The Raptors were led by players with NO playoff experience in a run gun style offense. Those things work against you in the playoffs where things slow down and young players tighten up in close games.

Pierce and KG didn't dominate the series but Joe got his and Darren Williams made an impact in a key game and that's the point. The Nets got the type experience that will even make them a tough out against Miami.

Raptors made the type of mistakes young teams tend to make in playoff situations. Again I think you took a productive regular season by a team that is growing and placed expectations that were too high especially given the matchup.
