On the bright side, if you play out these playoffs again 100 times, Philly probably wins the championship in 99 of them. They were easily the most talented team in the east and had a flukey series.

Happy for Toronto.  Hell of a story.

Masai gambled and hit the mega millions. Wow what a season Toronto.

Thats what the small markets have to do with all the best FA s running to LA fast as they can. 

Thank the Spurs and Pop for not trading with Lakers and handing them another 3 titles .

The Raptors absolutely deserved this.  They were the most balanced team in the playoffs.
Great support tonight from Siakam, VanFleet and Lowry - all over 22 points in a close out game on the road.
Huge props to Toronto.

Talk about dynasties that should've been! If we're feeling as if the last season was a waste, imagine how they feel

Executive of the year.
Clearly won that Spurs/Raptors trade in a landslide. Look what the Spurs are doing to DeRozan now.

Kawhi Leonard tho. Ending dynasties left and right. Ended the LeBron Heat dynasty, ended the Spurs dynasty, now ended the Golden State Warriors' dynasty.

I'd hate to find Kawhi in a dark alley.

Kawhi keeps referring to the Raptors organization and team as "them" and he keeps catching himself and changing to "we" lol

He may just have the balls to leave after a championship. Though, I mean, he's done what he needed to do. Similar to how Bron brought Cleveland the championship in 2016 and performed his duty to the city and franchise, this could be how Leonard views it.

Some team like Denver (or hopefully us ;) ) are going to win back-to-back rings only for him to beat us, lol.

Man is an absolute weapon. He arguably has a better resume at 27 years old than MJ did:
2 championships vs 0
3x All-Star vs 5x
3x All-NBA vs 4x
5x All-Defence vs 2x
2x DPOY vs 1x
0x ROY vs 1x
0 scoring championships vs 3
0 MVP's vs 1

Very even for me

I mean why wouldn't he go wherever he wants? He's gotta feel like he can win ANYWHERE.
