NBA Playoffs! Round 2, Game 3: Toronto Raptors 103 - Cleveland Cavaliers 105 (CLE 3-0)

[The Great One]

Jimmy Butler got the Bulls a 1st(Markkanen), a good young player in LaVine and Kris Dunn. Time for Masai to explore moving DeRozan in the offseason - and look for that package in return.

They have to make MAJOR changes this offseason. Firing Casey imo should be a no brainer. They have to move one of Lowry or DeRozan if not both.

And the players that i would be looking at if i'm Masai are Wiggins, Fultz and Ingram.

[Maury]

Lebron’s coach is a fish and his second best player is a spot up shooter who can’t play defence. He’s the goat.

[Mindlessness]

Top 3 player of all time

Jordan
Kareem
LeBron

Yes LeBron is already in my top 3.

Dude, he's in everyone's top 3 lol, it's whether he's GOAT or not that is the debate at this point.

WOW. Cripple your team and then act all bitter?

[Zainab]

Tip my cap to OG Anunoby. Ain't no regular rookie; not afraid to take big time shots when needed. If Lebron didnt hit that game winner and Raptors somehow won in OT, that OG shot would be up there in all-time clutch shots

I mean...look at that defense lol

[MixxAOR]

didn't he lose to them until they got old though?

[The Great One]

How is he the GOAT when he's not even better than Kareem? lol. Forget about Jordan.

[Zainab]

Dwane Casey just credited OG Anunoby got being a big part of the Raptors winning the East for the regular season, which is an interesting look into the Raptors’ mindset.

Yes, why do you think? They made it their mission to hack him on every play.

[Zainab]

that's a lie

Raptors' Kyle Lowry on DeMar DeRozan's benching: "We had a group going in the fourth and coach road with it. I'm not worried about it. A tough shooting night. DeMar was up cheering with everybody else. He's a great teammate. He was't pouting or anything." pic.twitter.com/dY8uwPWJf7

[veda-parabolist]

At least our future isn't completely fucked. We have some good pieces. Possibility that we'll have to step back a bit if we start trading away our core

For sure. We were good this year. We could be better next year, assuming some things. If Freddy gets re-signed somehow, IF we stay healthy, we should be better next year, since some of our good young guys like Jak and Siakam who disappeared largely in these playoffs, will have another year of experience under their belt and should hopefully step up.

Downside of course is that other good young teams (e.g., Boston and Philly) should be improving at the same, or much more likely, a much faster clip, and have a higher ceiling than us, by the looks of it.

But if Lebron leaves the East, and if we come back with these guys a year stronger and more experienced (but Ibaka a year older at about 36-37 or so and no longer able to play much), we can get another shot at it next year.

Yes, why do you think? They made it their mission to hack him on every play.

Lebron gets hacked all the time. He's the best I've seen. Everybody has their opinion so I'll just leave it at that.

[S.R.]

Yeeeeeah, collapsing 3 players onto 1 drive would be a basketball wet dream for Lebron.

[Mindlessness]

How is he the GOAT when he's not even better than Kareem? lol. Forget about Jordan.

I didn't say anything about him being GOAT...
