    They literally went to the WCF last year with DeRozan.

    Raptors lost in the 2nd round in he Eastern Conference last year. They don’t play in the WC.

    Not only did they only make the second round last year, they got swept there...by easily the weakest LeBron James East team since his early years in Cleveland. Leonard makes a massive difference over DeRozan.

    Was it the year before? Same difference. Im not denying Leonard is an upgrade from DeMar. Im just saying people arent crediting DeMar enough for leading those teams.

    Their bench was almost non-existent in the first round against the Magic, Gasol sucked ass too. If you swap Kawhi with DeRozan, they're not beating that Magic team.

    People in Toronto loved Derozan but he cannot lead a team in the playoffs. If he is the best player on your team, enjoy your regular season but good luck in the playoffs.

    LOL wtf. How was Siakam’s an offensive foul but Brogdon’s wasn’t? Way inconsistent.

    The actual interesting stat is that Brothers very strong favours the home team in all his games reffed. Especially when favoured 5.5-10.5 points. Smack bang in the middle tonight.

    Great run by the Raptors in the second quarter to tie the game.

    This is the reason why Giannis ain't no MVP.

    Bucks' offense going cold at an inopportune time after going up big and leading to the opponent's comeback is eerily reminscent of the Rockets.

    How does Giannis get away with those obvious fouls when he pushes his way to the paint?
