    Just saw the Wells Fargo version of Facebook's "We're sorry" campaign. Both suck.

    I look like a fool for picking the Cavs in 6. What was I thinking expecting Toronto to win at least 2 games in this series?

    Lebron discovered what hes been missing out on, the midrange game.

    If I were the raptors I would reevaluate the entire roster but I wouldn't clean house until Lebron decides whether to go west or stay in East.

    If Lebron goes west, then they don't need to blow up the team.

    Philly and Boston definitely will be better next year. Boston without their two best players already is better. If Indiana makes one decent move they will be better as well.

    Not unexpected for a DeRozan lead team.

    Nope. This was it for the Raptors. They had homecourt over every team but the Rockets. They had an easy first round opponent in the Wizards. The weakest Cavs team LeBron's ever had since his return to Cleveland. And either a short-handed Celtics or young and inexperienced Sixers team awaiting them in the ECF.

    It's only gonna get tougher next season. The Sixers and Celtics will be even better. The Pacers will improve. And the Cavs will still be favored to win the East unless LeBron goes elsewhere in which case his new team becomes the favorite.

    Toronto blew it.

    Top seed in the East...

    I didn't watch the game but looking at the boxscore and with the game basically ended the Cavs are shooting 62% from the field...seems like the Raptors didn't even try.

    Lebronto is a real thing. when you know exactly how to own a team it shows. toronto has no idea what to do against him and its always been that way

    for real, it will be a massacre

    GS-Cle Part 4 isn’t interesting...I’d just be watching to see how insane Lebron can make his statline

    I get it, but their defense has been trash all season, theres no way their defense could be affecting Toronto's offense this much, its baffling.
