Brutal choke

Another year, another playoff run in which neither Lowry nor Derozan can create a good shot in crunch time.

BLOW UP THE RAPTORS.

and that's how you lose home-court advantage to LeBron James lol.

911..chicken bone caught in multiple players throats..please help us

Win or lose Raptors should be embarrassed.

both of those teams looked like crap..
Celtics look better than both of them right now.

Cleveland completely lucked out.  Why did they even call the timeout.
They had the ball!?!?!?!

Jesus, how can you have Fred VanVleet on the floor at crucial moments TWICE spotting up for 3s. Makes zero sense. That dude has been injured and has been horrible.

[Phantom255x]

I'm literally dying of laughter.

Absolutely comical by TOR. All the luck in the world and they still choked so bad

still not sure why Lebron not coached for two for 1...they tried to give it back

This just reinforces the fact that Derozan and Lowry are All-Star players who don't have an extra gear against elite competition.  It's really as simple as that.  I can't stand LeBron but nobody in the NBA can do more with less.

Hate him as we may, he can make fillet from Sand

I'm really starting to think that if Brown is healthy and we get through Philly, perhaps we really can take either of these teams and advance to the Finals.

I mean, Toronto just doesn't have the mental makeup or character to get there, and if the Cavs make it through, Lebron is going to be absolutely gassed by our series.

And truthfully, we match up pretty well with both teams, and we have the defenders to both throw at Lebron and at Toronto's backcourt. I actually think we have a better shot against Cleveland than Toronto, though, as I think we matchup better with Cleveland and have the gameplan (let Lebron do his thing and shut down everyone else) to succeed in a series against them, let alone the coaching advantage.

#1 seed losing to a #4 seed at home in their own country.

Embarrassing.

lue sucks

[BringToughnessBack]

watch raptors lose game 2 as well..that chicken bone might be a perma bone vs cavs for them

[tstorey_97]

I hope the Cavs sweep the Raptors and their franchise is decertified and moved to Las Vegas.

I have never seen a team play so d*&% scared ever. Stick with hockey guys...that game su*&ed from beginning to end and I'm depressed that there have to be three more of them.
