if they get swept, no more raptors overhyping next season? this is embarrassing.

They'll still be a top 4 team in the East. But will continually get swept by whatever team LeBron is in.

Welcome back the old Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz...a great regular season does not always lead to the promised land as true heart can only be judged when the stakes are so much higher. The number one seed is about to get swept in ugly fashion- When you have one mega superstar, anything is possible.

Rapt rs just play like high school team against the Cavs ......absolute trash team .   Can 't shoot , turn over after turn over, James gets uncontested layups at will.

unbelievable energy and execution by the raptors .

Lol. If Lebron does that same spin move one more time...ugh.

Also, I hate that dumb Mountain Dew commercial with Morgan Freeman. Like, just go away, already.

Lebron is legit just toying with the Raptors.

He has like all 10 Cleveland points in the 3rd lol. Raptors look scared...

Good Lord, Raptors. I go work out at a tie game, and I come back and you’re down 23?

Man, it’s crazy how hard Lebron is in their heads.

The Peter Dinklage/Busta Rhymes Doritos lip sync one was so much better.

Whoa, working out at like 10 PM? That's dedication.

I was at the gym during the game lol (stupid 6 PM start times...)

Wanted to throw something at the gym TV that was airing the game every time a horrid foul was called

Raptors are about to drop 10 straight games against the Cavaliers in the playoffs.

Their last win against LeBron James' Cavs in the playoffs was on May 23, 2016 in Game 4.

[Phantom255x]

Man, if the Raptors (Valanciunas) convert the tip-in at the end of Game 1 to win it, this could be a different series. Brutal. 4-5 chances and somehow they missed them all (Valanciunas twice despite towering over two defenders right at the rim...)

[celticinorlando]

This will cripple he raptors going forward. They can’t win playoff games

[jpotter33]

Wow. They’re really giving him a flagrant 2? An All-Star in Derozan?

Not that it matters now, but that is some BS. Like they would EVER give Lebron a flagrant 2.

This league is such a joke with how the rules and officiating are so biased.

I guess. I'm much more concerned that we will face a similar fate to the Raptors at the minute, though. Lebron is just on another level, intellectually, and unless we suddenly learn to spot and exploit mismatches, I'm afraid that we're going to be just annihilated, unfortunately. Sigh.

Man, if that Indiana series was the toughest first round, well, series of Lebron's career, this semifinal matchup with the Raptors has to at least be among the easiest for him. Pathetic. Just completely and utterly pathetic.

[Phantom255x]

Dang... sad to think that's probably the last time we see DeRozan in a Raptors jersey.

If ya know ya getting a flagrant 2, then hit their opposing key player harder. Make it look like a bounty but you're actually not.

I'm sorry but playing "dirty" is also part of the game. Contact sports man.
