    The Raptors are gonna have to make major moves. Absolutely no way they can bring this unit back.

    New coach and trade Lowry or DeRozen, anything less is just rearranging furniture. They could win 75 games next season and nobody would take them seriously.

    one of the sorriest teams i've seen in the playoffs. this is one of lebron's worst teams and they still cant beat him, while they're playing at their best since vince carter.

    I was never a Lowry fan; always thought he was fool's gold. But, it is not all his fault. It is sad to see a team just quit.

    What's scary is that they are better, they are a far better team than Cleveland.

    In my 25 years or so of watching sports, this may be the most egregious example of a team being mentally whipped that I have ever seen. Can't win a game, and they've just accepted it. Not even trying to fight back tonight.

    Coach tells DeRozan to play through contact.

    DeRozan plays right through Clarkson's contact lens.

    I don't think that was a flagrant 2. Feels like they just want to embarrass Toronto a little bit more.

    they are better? not sure how people got that idea. toronto didnt even win the season series against cleveland. people were falling into the toronto hype but theyve always been fools gold. youre not a better team if you get swept.

    Lowry has actually been pretty good in this series

    he was averaging 22 and 8 on 62/50/86 shooting splits heading into this game

    Lebron just owns them...they hoped this year would be different, but after he went 12-30 in game 1 and they still lost at home to the worst version of the Cavs since Lebron has returned, they realized that nothing had changed and they’d never be able to beat him

    I feel embarrassed as I strongly proposed Raptors would make the Finals to friends of mine.

    Guess I'll just pretend I never said it :D
