That team quit, their coach had no answers, I think a few of them were already planning on sleeping in tomorrow

Their MO is just not working.

Has the coach of a one seed ever been fired before?

Are they just happy being who they are? A great regular season team without a inkling of post season success?

In fairness to them, the Cavs were a lot better team this series vs last, Hill and Thompson are yuuuge differences. Then again, maybe the Raptors are just that bad

They need to clean house this summer. Great during regular season but cant even win a playoff game at home? They are the Cincinnati Bengals of the NBA

I wonder what their odds were at the beginning of the season were to come out of the East?

They got beat down by a team that was supposed to win the East. That much I know.

They ran into a different Cavs team than the 1 the Pacers got. Hill healthy, Thompson back in the rotation and most importantly Love back to playing like a legit player. He was dealing with a bad thumb injury in rd 1 and looked like he didn't even belong on the court. Cavs still have major flaws with their roleplayers but that Pacers series was an outlier like we've never seen before as far as a supporting cast playing that badly and a team still winning.


Tough for the Raptors to do too much with changes, they're a 50+ win team that sells out their arena every single night and thus they print $ for a major corporation. Maybe LeBron goes to the West next year and the sea parts a little bit for them. Maybe you make a few moves but hard to blow it up. Their GM is a smart guy, he likely knows the team is what it is but it isn't like they can just get 3 draft picks from the Nets or go and sign a top 10 player. The way their roster is currently constructed, they would be better off trying to reload rather than rebuild.

Cavaliers are just more talented and there's not much the Raps could've done about it. I think Celtics give them a good fight though. A very good fight but only to lose in the end.

Smart post apparently Ujuri like Casey and said he aint going anywhere.

The biggest move they should do in renew DRAKE's court side seat - that guy is a clown...even Rhiannon is down on him and she's a sweetheart

Players get paid like they are stars. Money ruins the motivation of middle tier teams.
