Take the Cavs six and it's a good showing.
Raptors in 6
This teams dream scenario is to play Cavs instead of Knicks only to lose either way. 😂 this franchise has fallen greatly
23:00 – Look at the balding senior citizen dressed like a teenager asking for blood on the court, what a pathetic loser.
Shout out to Luigi hat. Homie was on point with the takes id rather we play who we got. Plus i dont think it will be easier with the cavs. Mitch is no joke and harden got the experience. He gonna cook us all series long
Factoring in the inability to even compete with good teams + the terrible contracts… Probably why most of us aren't super excited about this team going forward. If the contracts were tradeable, I'd be super excited about the team.

If the contracts were tradeable, I'd be super excited about the team. I say I'm just moderately excited. Going forward but that can change based on how this series goes.
Atlanta thought Orlando was gonna beat Boston, which would've ended in a three-way tie with Toronto/Atlanta/Orlando where Atlanta would've gotten the 5th seed via tiebreaker. But Orlando choked.
brah if you're the most impactful player you are the best player.. what is it with these points per game alle the time.. you can score 40 but what good is that if you have 40 get scored on you and you don't help your team in any other way.. not saying mitchel is like that but this conversation has to change.. basketball is more than putting up numbers on the board.. see what i did there? 😀
BI has destroyed the knicks this year, it doesn't matter for him.😅
What an absolutely silly take. 😂. You wanted the Knicks so they can “feel the playoffs” lol. Gimme a break, that make zero sense dude. It’s not like the Raptors tried to loose games and mess around with the seeding. It was 100% out of our hands. Now we play the Cavs. That’s just how it worked out, we’re just happy that we have a better chance at taking games now. (Though unlikely imo)
Cavs can definitely get got but the season a success either way
No shame in losing, but can’t get swept with the current payroll.
Raps must show some competence against the Cavs
Raptors fans and YouTubers continuously disrespect hometown kid RJ Barrett and minimize is contributions to the team. Raptors give IQ and Yak crazy contracts for minimal contribution. And all Raptors talking about is trading RJ. If I were RJ I would be glad to pack my bags and go to another team.
Glad you guys took the wide lens approach. This season has been a success. Let's enjoy the first round and hope James Harden chokes again!
