Trebek: Let's play another round of Jeopardy, pick your category. Contestant (hidden Raptors fan): Kryptonite for 500 please! Trebek: Who's the one team to eliminate the Toronto Raptors the last three seasons? Hint: They had the best player on the planet and made it to consecutive finals. That said best player just left in FA too! Contestant: ... YOUR GO YOLO. Who was it? Raptors spell has been lifted. I think Celtics are favs of course but you can't discount the Raptors. And if the Pacers make moves, I like their chance to get to ECF or challenge the Raptors/76ers.
thats great. quick: who did the raptors have trouble against in the 1st round. Hint: a team that isn't better than boston or philly toronto is no real threat. they've never been apparently you think lebron leaving cleared the way for them. Nope
I don't. they're just not good enough. and its always been that way. theyve proven that year after year after year
The Barneys are behind the Celts and Sixers even without an unproven coach coming in (I consider Dwane Casey flawed but above-average). Would not surprise me if the Pacers or Bucks passed them up. Barneys are a mentally weak team. Pacers weren't intimidated by LeBron in the playoffs; neither were the Celtics. Just the Barneys. They won't make the Finals with this core group.
