Rockets, warriors, and the spurs could sweep this raptors team tbh.

Demar was amazing but he really ran out of gas. Couldn't ask more of him other than to have done it in games 1 and 2 as well.
Get that man some help. The role players are supposed to play better at home. This was some sad shit.
Edit: LeBron is a fucking MONSTER btw. He's that horror movie villain stalking someone slowly. Just can't get away.

That was my take too but I was only half watching. Looked like Cleveland was going through the motions.
Rockets were pretty crummy against OKC.

Warriors should still beat Cavs easily.
KD and Curry should be able to score at will
You need two Kawhi Leonards to stop the Warriors

Could sweep any of these teams that aren't the Cavs.

Lebum is a bum.
Not really. No team with the best player on a team that shoots 3's as good as the Cavs is getting beat easily.

Stackhouse or Messina. Either works. Both have systems that this Raptors squad would profit from, it's a flexible squad with decent to good players at every position, they're deep, and another coach wouldn't have such a hate-boner against JV playing and getting any touches.
Patterson, Lowry, CoJo are all good passers. DeRozan has shown flashes of his passing ability when it's asked of him from his team. Ibaka is decent at it. This team is dying for a motion offense.
I'd be good with Stack coaching too.
JV scores again.
Edit - get rid of Patterson, Carrol.

I can't believe JV got frozen out again by Casey

JV slept with LeBron's mom.

To think I thought PJ Tucker and Carroll could slow down Lebron.
Dude has been a monster. This is like the Warriors series in 2015

Would have been better off if that Wizards sweep led to a Casey firing.
Iirc, there was even some discontent with Lowry and Casey, right?

We have never seen a player better than Lebron James. Jesus.

Raptors are basically in a Mark Jackson Warriors type situation

Seems fair to me. Look at DW doing work out there.
JV is a bum according to half of TOR-GAF, so DW would be an upgrade. Great energy guy. Let's do that trade out of sympathy.
They will definitely be a top 2 team once they get rid of Casey.

These Raptors are so pathetic, they should just cancel game 4, or bring in the Bucks for a final "what if" game 4.
And if the Bucks win, they get to carry on like it was their series and their down 3-1.

I keep forgetting DWill is a Cav
The hate for JV is hilarious. Some fucking dummy would spout stats to me about why JV is bad.

Not a bum, just some dude that fucks the coach's wife. Too bad that that coach will be leaving soon

LBJ looks better than ever.
That resting for the regular season for the playoffs thing is no joke. He's about to go to his seventh straight finals, he knows exactly what he has to do in the regular season. It's not laziness or age, just being smart.

Let me try that again.
McHale Rockets?
Actually, way better analogy, if it makes you happy: Randy Wittman Wizards situation

You know that's a good comparison.
I haven't seen a lot of them this year but they just aren't very good the few times I have seen them. 3rd seed really? Cleveland isn't doing anything great but the Raptors are helpless. I mean, do they even make the playoffs in the west? I don't see it.

Casey is fucking terrible, and Raptors fans have been wanting him to get fired for a while. His players doing most of the work in taking them to 50+ wins is why he's still there
They have the hotline on Jerry Stackhouse, might want to consider not even risking losing both, even if they can get another good candidate that they might prefer.
Not sure what you mean here exactly. They don't have a young curry, thompson, draymond and prime iggy and bogut. In other words, they don't have a single player better at any of those positions.
edit: also jackon's teams played some D. i don't see that at all with these guys

Really feels like nowhere to go but up. Though I must say...a new coach isn't going to make them nail those decent looks they were getting in Q4. Or help them do better than like 3/15 from 3. They need a roster overhaul as bad as a coaching staff overhaul.
How did Lowry get hurt?
lol him and the Kahwi denier must be an act. No one can be this affected by people that will never know they existed.

I'm disgusted that Derrick Williams is in the playoffs.
