The Kings of the North come in as the clear favorite - and rightfully so as the Rapts have a superior starting 5 w/ a stacked bench --- if they can't beat this LeBron James team (easily the worst team left in the playoffs) - then they'll never be able to beat the Kang of the entire realm of Westeros, Essos, and Sothoryos.

Game 1 @ Toronto followed up w/ Dubs/Pels which should feature Curry's return. Everyone was talking about the Pels pushing this series to 6 or 7. Nah. Dubs in 5 (maybe a sweep).

(Although since I posted this, you edited out the "the Raptors have five of the six best players in their series" comment, so it's been diminished somewhat.)

Would anyone in here put money on the Raptors winning this series?


I wouldn't, at all.


Toronto has never done anything in the playoffs and they just went to the mattresses against the fucking Wizards lol.

Have a pool with my peoples, and I picked the Raps this round. So I'm putting avery small, reasonable amount of money where my mouth is.

Bron can be out of this world (again) - but if Love continues to play like trash and he gets zippy contribution from The Others - they will be lucky to even be competitive in this series. This isn't the Raptors of yesteryear - they've got the best bench in the NBA and have made significant improvements.

>went to the mattresses against the fucking Wizards lol.

um they beat the Wizards in DC in a must-win game 6 for the Wiz - decisively - they did just fine.

But come on. Raptors still gonna Raptor. Bron still gonna Bron.

Toronto absolutely should win this series.

So the answer, at least on here, is one person is willing to bet a very modest amount.

Bron's on the bench like "nah i can't do this again this series"
-->

The beginning of the 4th in Game 7 against a mediocre-to-good Indiana team was cute. This is a real team, and their non-starter heavy lineups will literally run the Cavs' non-LeBron lineups out of the fucking country. If he continues to try and get 2 minute blows here and there, he will lose leads or return back to 15 point deficits like he is right now.

This is why they're gonna lose.

Bron gettin pissed about this full court borderline molestation he's getting

-----------------------------------------

not only is he inept offensively - but he's turning the ball over and absent-minded on D.

-->

he will simply watch offensive players handle the ball and shoot. Amare used to do it constantly it is infuriating.

shot at the rim, I am going to lose my shit!!

You know it can produce fusion, but we all know in the end, it will be LeBron running all over the court like he has extra limbs, trying to beat the younger and just as smart adversary.

lue should at least bench him to send a message to the rest of the team.

from the NBA Rulebook:

http://videorulebook.nba.com/archive/defensive-player-walks-under-airborne-shooter/

This is an example of a defensive foul for a defender walking under an airborne shooter. Defenders may not move into the landing area of an airborne shooter. On this play, the defender continues moving forward and he walks under the shooter, affecting his ability to safely return to the floor. This is a defensive foul as the airborne shooter must be allowed to return to the floor safely.

It's not like LeBron went into his space in a major way. He just barely landed on his foot

If you are allowing them to hack like crazy what choice does he have?

They can have all the bench in the world. But their leaders are always shook. Cavs have no business winning this series, but they will.

That way when LeBron blows his way to the finals they can pretend he accomplished some insurmountable feat. “His team sucks, the Raptors are so amazing. If he does this, he’ll surpass Brady as the GOAT QB”

everybody up there said they wouldn't bet on the Raptors.

Very unlikely that it happens though.


-->

Much of the game.

Bron has these boys shook. Stop denying it to
set the bar low.

Especially if Bron is top 3- you should relish that
he’s favored as a 4 seed.

GOATs shouldnt need the bar lowered.

Toronto is regular season fools gold- and SHOOK.

Boston is fucking broken. Hell id imagine
Brad Stevens is even nusring an injury at this point.

Philly is a cute little story but very inexperienced
and not well coached.

The east is ass cheeks.

Lebron is going to the finals.

Maybe if Kyrie wasnt made of balsa wood and baby
tears it would be different- or at least interesting.

Nah another finals L coming Brons way.

No one beleives that you really think otherwise.

It's highly improbable that Bron carries this team to the Finals. Cavs are already the underdog in the 2nd round (and rightfully so). So if he can will this team to his 8th straight finals appearance? Yea - it'd be a *huge* deal - and y'all anti-Bron critics ain't about to dilute it with your negative nancy takes.

-->

especially Durant

only KOBE can lay claim to having a playoff team THIS bad. and those teams jobbed in early rounds until they got Pau. and Pau is better than Kevin Love is right now, by far.

hell, old ass Pau on the Spurs is doing a better job than Playoff Kevin.... I blame coaching for that. Popovich, Brad Stevens, McMillan, Gentry (lol) would have made the Indiana series 5 games, and this upcoming Toronto one a sweep and the ECF/Finals would NEVER be in doubt

perspective is clearly lost in these LeBron discussions. I'm not even a LeBrony like that and it's hard not to sound like one when you look at how dysfunctional this is

The Raptors had a stretch where they missed 15 of 16 shots in the 4th. A few of them right at the rim. TSN said they went 3 for 20 down the stretch and here you are latherin up Bron's balls with some dudu osun and lavender scented coconut oil.

nga, I hope the minute you read this your smartphone starts breaking to pixies and turns to dust in your hand like Thanos just copped the 6th infinity stone.


The only thing monumental was that fucking gag job... lol

swishing since 2004. playing good defense too

LeBron is starting to looked absolutely wrecked whenever a timeout is called and it's only Game 1.

I've never slept in a hyperbaric time chamber or learned my real name was Kakarot, though. So what do I know?
