I feel bad for my brother for wasting money on this s***.

[Krylian]

Fire him out of a cannon and into the sun.

[Krylian]

Quitters.

[Spanky99]

Welp...

[Terminator]

Lebrons is nuts.

[Horses Fart]

Welp...

 

Depressing isn't it By'

[P2F]

f*** this.

[onwego]

Regular season means nothing at all

[Krylian]

Good.

 

Embarrass these f***ers and boo them off the court.

Just as well finish 8th.

[dineke]

30th. Sixers did it right.

[connorp]

Good.

Surprised I didn’t hear boos. American cities you’re hearing boos

[Horses Fart]

Do we even get a game in the series?

[onwego]

They walk tall and prance around beating up horrible Eastern teams that don’t care, the announcers SCREAMING over every basket in garbage time

[43211234]

Oh well, I had fun watching them in the regular season at least.

 

what a joke, though. glad I missed this one.

[John_Havok]

Raps are a great regular season team, but what Paul Pierce said a few years ago is 100% true. There's nothing scary about them. They don't have a superstar and you need at least 1 in today's NBA.

[jays4life19]

I'm going to guess the Raptors did not win tonight, eh?

[Dick_Pole]

30th. Sixers did it right.

 

No. The Spurs did it right. What the 76ers did was a f***ing embarrassment.

In fairness, though unlikely, all you’d need in Lebron to go to a team on the West and you’d immediately have a legit Finals contender. Basically Raps now are like the teams of the East like Knicks during Jordan era

True. Raps are a very good team, but will never get over the hump in the playoffs with their current core.

The Knicks had great battles with the Bulls in that era.

 

NY didn’t quit and run away.

Maybe, but they were still the perrenial bridesmaid

I only watch playoff basketball other than some Cavs games during the season, so I’m not an expert but my snapshot on an opinion from this year and years past is that Tor’s biggest issue is the offense is pretty stale. They don’t have the ball movement like good teams have. Not consistently anyway.

 

I’ve watched Boston games (coincidently when they won and not the losses) these playoffs and they look pretty scary without any star because they play with a high level of energy on both ends and move the ball around great for open looks

 

Again, I’m sure most of you are more qualified than me to offer an opinion though.

The Raptors quit in front of their fans last night.

 

You don’t see the difference between giving your all and completely quitting?

 

ABC Primetime, please try to show up, huh?

Bro, when James is going OFF...AND role players are banging down shots, Warriors aren’t going to win those games.

That’s not the typical Cavs experience though

LeBron is 3 for 8 in the Finals, bailed out by Ray Allen one year and the fix was in for the warriors win. He is not invincible.

 

Pacers didn’t give a **** about LeBron and should have taken the Cavs out.

Listen, not saying Lebron is unbeatable. I think they make the Finals and lose is 5 or 6 like other years past. But saying when they play like yesterday, that’s the game or two they’re winning against anyone

 

As for Pacers, if role players play that bad doesn’t matter how much Bron goes off.

[connorp]

The first game is the one that would hurt if I was Raps fan. You have to win that kind of game and be ok with losing a game like yesterday.

I didn't say the two situations were exactly alike. New York definitely made a better push but in the end they still had nothing to show for it.

 

Don't get me wrong, I totally understand why Raps fans are so disappointed - completely justified. Hopefully they can at least claw back to salvage some pride.

For many it’s not al about winning. The Utah Jazz made several finals appearance without winning and I’m sure their fans were entertained.

 

This team has zero heart.

Say what you will about the regular season but winning nearly 60 games a year takes skill. There’s reason why the Utah Jazz for instance didn’t win 59 games, they just weren’t that they talented
