well so much for that. if the Raptors were healthy this would be a 6 game series...as i said before. however, they've got a lot of injuries and will end up playing 15 games in 30 days.
i guess that 17-13 record against the west actually.. you know.. meant something. i guess the 1-1 record against the spurs and thunder.. and the 2-1 record against the cavs.. meant something. and i guess the game the Raptors played against the Warriors in the middle of their season opening winning streak actually. you know.. meant something.
Pretty desperate to take a single, meaningless win as proof you're right. The cavs shooting/intensity was due to fall off a cliff at some point, and this game mean very little for them relative to Toronto. This is a team that was moments away from losing to Indy in the first round and put themselves in a 15 game/30 day hole. The score would be the same right now even if they were 100% healthy and rested.
sry guy. JV is better than Biyombo and his presence changes the game. Your comment verges on ridiculous. Better, properly rested players create better results. as i said, this is a 6 game series with a healthy team. Claiming Biyombo and JV are the same is false. Claiming any other #3 on the raptors can do what Carroll can do is false.
its 9 wins.
i'm not the one who said they'd get swept with a completely healthy, rested team. i'm not the one who said they were the worst 56 win team in the history of the league. i'm not the one who said lowry's diminished performance was due to choking.
like i said several times they're a 56 win team coming out of weak division and their playoff results are congruent with their regular season performance. in a theoretical "average division" the Raptors are a 52 win team and they're playing exactly like a 52 win team.

You're the biggest homer, it's so annoying to read your comments, lol.
The Raptors are still overrated. They won a game, Cavs played badly. Anything's possible, and I'm rooting for the Raps I'm this series because I HATE the Cavs, but even if they win, my opinion won't change, and I'd still think they're going to get crushed in the finals. More than likely, they're gonna lose 1-4, but I'm hoping they win.
But seriously, you're such a homer... go to /r/raptors or something.

To be fair, last year he was pretty adamant with everyone that the Raptors were overrated and would get exposed in the playoffs.
They don't have the balls to ban him , he kicked them already. This is a All star player from the NBA fav team , they aren't going to give OKC the edge , they don't sell enough shirts.

true, in the last 51 games of the regular season the raptors were 25-26 last year and Lowry was playing hurt.
all i've said is.. they're a 56 win team on a weak schedule. Adjusting their wins to the strength of their schedule they are a 52 win team. And in these playoffs they're playing exactly like a 52 win team.
Cleveland is a 57 win team on a much stronger schedule and therefore they are a better team than Toronto.
no idea how any of this makes me a "homer".
when you adjust Miami and Indiana's win totals to the strength of their schedules they are slightly lower than the adjusted Raptors 52 win total. It should be no surprise to any one that both series were 7 gamers.
Detroit and Atlanta had worse records than Toronto ; surprise, surprise Toronto has won more games off of Cleveland than they managed. in all 3 playoff rounds Toronto's results are congruent with their past performance.
no idea how any of this makes me a "homer".
People like to pretend that certain aspects of reality are meaningless. This is false: Everything Matters.
On a less serious note... here is the last time i could find where a team played 15 games in 30 days.. this is another example of truth being more ironic than fiction...
