TORONTO RAPTORS are the Worst ECF Team Since Atleast 1990

lol prime pierce and shimmy toine would've given those dudes work.

Pierce was legit during that season, but Toine ain't giving anybody any work. Don't even get me started on the rest of the team.

*Waits for someone to come in and say Antoine Walker would be a top 5 player today*

I loved that team, using them on 2K2 and their playoff run that followed is what turned me into a diehard fan but looking back, that team shouldn't have been anywhere a near conference finals

O'Brien and Harter were the key to all that, challenging them dudes to be better on the defensive end - fitting in with that early 00's East-style of ball. Y'all won games purely on effort, because everything else was pure struggle. I do NOT miss those days at all.

Lowry and Demar wouldn't start for any of the other 3 remaining teams in the playoffs.

Since DeRozan has already been addressed by other posters.... it's a bit silly saying that Lowry wouldn't start on the other three remaining teams when 99% of PGs that have made the ECF since 1990 wouldn't start on those teams either.

who was that dumbass who said Kyle Lowry would cook Kyrie because of what he did in the regular season?

Kyle Lowry: 8pts, 4-14
Kyrie: 27pts, 11-17

A sub 40% shooting PF who doesn't play defense? Awesome!

He made Kmart looked like a monster.

people thinking we gonna call toine a top 5 player today to prove a point.

He was an inefficient chucker, but him and pierce had chemistry on those celtic teams, and they gave the nets problems in the playoffs.

 

[Jplaya2023]

no they wouldnt.

lol if flabbynsick pierce shytted on the raptors the last 2 years 2014 and 2015 in the playoffs, what would his 10 year younger self do?

You say that like it was some great achievement. Those Nets squads are out in the first round in today's league.

lol.. all these "protect my sanity" threads..

cavs are finaly playing to potential.. on paper.. they are top 2 in the league... and they are now playing like it.

That Celtics team beat Detroit and had prime Big Paul Pierce, Raptors are worse than them. Remember, they almost lost to the Pacers first round.

He would do work but that Boston team was garbage.

You can go through the roster. 'Toine was an inefficient chucker. Tony Battie was their starting center and a washed Kenny Anderson was running point.

That Boston team is the worst teams to reach the conference finals since the '87 Sonics.

That Celtics team beat Detroit and had prime Big Paul Pierce, Raptors are worse than them. Remember, they almost lost to the Pacers first round.

the Pistons team in 2002 was nowhere near as good as the Pistons in 2004. Wasnt even the same team.

The 02 pistons was just defense. This was before rip, billups, sheed, and prince.

The Celtics were worse than than the Raptors Point Blank
