Yeah 8-31 was a massive hole, and I knew of all the injuries, Quickley just got back and is on limited minutes, I think this is the first time the last 2 games with their full rotation, all of a sudde

Cool - that's reasonable enough.  However, after seeing the G-League lineup they played last night, I think I better wait until the start of the next season to go...

It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.

But we beat two banged up/mediocre teams in the first 2 rounds though! Success!

 

This team is easily the second best team in this conference, moreso with a healthy JV and Lowry. Holy f*** can we give them a bit of credit? Would you rather the perennial bottom 10 teams from the post-Bosh era?

Raps are obviously outmatched, and nobody expects them to win this series. I just want to see a good effort, and learn something going into next year. It's already been a very successful season. #9 pick is nice too!

The Raptors will make this close. This team very rarely gets blown out. Say what you want about them but they have a lot of heart and pride.

Heat with Bosh is easily better than this team.

I disagree, the Raptors with Lowry playing like himself are better.

Exactly. I hate when people call for a rebuild. Raps were a top 5-6 team in the NBA this year. Even if you don't win a championship thats very successful.

I agree with this sort of, but not "easily better", just "marginally better".

They're at the top of the non-elite/historic tier (GSW, SAS, OKC, CLE) alongside the Clippers imo. Hawks, Celtics and Heat in no particular order after that?

I see where the other posters who complained about too much whining are coming from now. This is a good team, but it's not the best team. There's room for improvement, the franchise is in a really good position as it stands.

I think it's just a testament to the competitive imbalance in the NBA. Raps are a really good team, but the teams above them are just WAY too good.

No because they played like dog s*** in the playoffs for the 3rd year in a row.

 

Because the team isnt a giant disaster like the Post Bosh teams we're all supposed to be satisfied? God forbid this team gets rid of Casey and Demar and works toward a championship.

Portland is better than those three Eastern Conference teams I think.

I don't think they are yet but they could/will be. Which is remarkable, considering that they lost half their lineup so recently. Celtics are in a pretty enviable situation right now, Hawks are good but looks like they're gonna lose a bunch of guys. I think it'll end up Celtics > Blazers > Heat > Hawks soon.

Then why were we 8 full wins better than them over the course of 82 games?

I know you're the eternal pessimist but you know full well it's not a guarantee at this point. I still think it's likely, but to say it's a guarantee is pretty ridiculous.

Great job by the mayor wasting time on this topic. Not like there other more important things he can be doing...

 

Spend one day working at a municipality and you will realize how wrong this is.

If they played really well in the first round and lost would you be more satisfied?

Ideally Demar does Masai a favour PR wise and decides he wants to go to LA. A sign and trade would be ideal.
