I can at least understand why he is a little not himself. I hope he uses this as motivation. At least make it 4-2. | ||

The Raptors were 1-2 against the Cavs as the Cavs battled a tonne of injuries and a tonne of instability due to trades. "the Raptors are bad in the playoffs" is a myth. their playoff performance is congruent with their regular season performance. Lowry's play in this playoffs is about equal to his regular season play. | ||

best case 3-4 with an off chance of winning game 7. but realistically it could be 2-4 if lebron and love and korvor get their numbers. stevens is good and could beat cavs, but he lacks firepower. | ||

2018? i already answered that. 0-2 against Cleveland after trades in regular season. 2016? congruent with their regular season play. they took the NBA Champs to 6 games after winning 56 games with the softest schedule of any NBA playoff team while their starting Centre was injury and Lowry played with bursitits for months. 2015? congruent with regular season play. the Raptors started the season 22-6 with an ultra soft sched and played below .500 the last 54 games of the season. 2014? congruent with their regular season play 4-5 seed close series went to 7 gamse and last possession. 2008? congruent iwth regular season play. 2007? congruent with regular season play. Nets had Vince, Kidd and RJ. Raptors had? who? still 2 games went to last possession. | ||

In the regular season the Raptors couldn't beat the Cavaliers when they were injured and still sorting out their team roles right after that unprecedented series of trades. what makes you think they can beat Cleveland when they are healthier and more organized. | ||

bad performance in the playoffs is bad performance no matter how many excuses you give it. its a clear elementary conccept and not even debatable. and there are teams that have losing reg season matchups that win in the playoffs, but this is irellevant here. but if you want to make this relevant, playoffs are a series with all creds and numbers out in the open. a team that does not use this is a bad playoff team. end of story. | ||

Yeah Brad Stevens is something. I hope Kawhi joins Cs next year for a new Eastern super team. | ||

The Raptors playoff performances are congruent with their regular season performances. | ||

Well now I think it will be a couple of 4-0s and a couple of 4-1s. | ||

Cavs went from being the most shaky round 1 winner to looking great in round 2. | ||
