Welp, Toronto has really disappointed me. They just criminally underperform in the playoffs. No way should they have been dominated so far like they have in this series. It also doesn't help that they have been about as off as one can be from beyond the arc. You can't win games against Cleveland only making 2-15 threes.

Hubie Brown is the worst

Clear goaltend by LBj, up close through the backboard replay-- hubie's comment, 'perfectly timed by LBJ'. 

The king truly wears no clothes.

Lowry injury really hurts.   He was their motor all year

So, does Carroll not even play anymore for the Raptors? Wasn't he supposed to be their defensive answer for Lebron, along with PJ Tucker?

At least we have several guys that can at least attempt to come close to slowing down Lebron.

LBJ without the monkey on his back is a playoff destroyer. He was always great but it's another lvl now.
It takes me 3hrs to get to Miami and 1hr to get to Orlando... but I *SPIT* on their NBA teams! "Bless God and bless the (Celts)"-Lady GaGa (she said gays but she really meant Celts)

It helps when Toronto gives him literally no resistance lol I think Norman Powell was guarding him for most of the game, which is pretty much no resistance given his size and talent disparity over Powell.

I think the Celtics could've beaten the Raptors handily in the playoffs if they'd face off in the East Semis.

IF we had Ibaka and Valunciunas down low it would help us outside so much. It really shows how bad the others were for TO.

We have to root for the raptors winning a few. We need lebron more tired when he faces us and no chance at studying video.

They are done like dinner. sorry to break it to you. they may get lucky if the cavs take their foot off the gas and win game 4 but cavs if not a sweep will win in 5.
