[The Nemesis]

Best season in Raptors' history. I know some people have said championship or bust, but this was an excellent season and I'm happy with the fact that they made it this far.

Did Drake just try to kiss Lebron?

Possibly. Hes a fake fan and always been a Lebron jock sniffer.

I'm very proud of the team but I'm so disappointed right now
What a great season I wish it didn't have to end

In Masai I trust

Bismack is ONLY 23?? Id say move Ross + Patterson, resign Bismack and Derozan and use Pat+Ross cap space to sign a PF

This has been a fantastic season, it was no doubt a huge step forward as the team found a good identity to build on and went further than anyone realistically could expect.

It's not that simple.

For the record, we do not own Bismack's Bird Rights. Biz will have to take alot less money to re-sign here.

I doubt he walks away from potentially $17 million, like many are projecting.

They were 2nd in a weak conference and got beat in the East Finals. Isnt that where you would have expected them to get?

They were humiliated in the 4 losses and the idiot fans in the ACC thanked them for it. I guess when you get beat down for years and years, and you get a mediocre season, it seems like something great.

waaaa

What cap space? You're using it on Bismack in your scenario.

 

[Tony Romo]

Pau or die trying

 

[The CyNick]

Going to be sad to see this fanbase confused as other teams in the East pass us.

This is an absolute crock.

We were completely out matched on paper in this series, and yet we were the only team that gave the Cavs any trouble in the playoffs.

These guys battled and deserved the praise from the fans. They went as far as anyone could have possibly expected.

Lol brutal. Seriously think he was just trying to say something to him.

Raptors had to work their ass way through each round of the playoffs every round going to 7. Cavs were chillin relaxing. Knew Raptors would run out of steam. Was still awesome they made it a 6 game series when it was expected to be a Cavs sweep.

I realistically expected that they could be the second best team in the East this year, and they were.

No shame in losing to a better team.

I really enjoyed watching the Raps play this year, especially on the nights the Leafs also played, if you know what I mean.

Just trying to recruit him to join us next season

 

[Tony Romo]

try doing a dual S&T of Demar for JClarkson and then go after Batum/Horford. Could work. don't know the contract clarkson gets however.

Breaking news: LBJ to take his talents to the North next year.

Shocking. Drake is a tool.

These guys battled and deserved the praise from the fans. They went as far as anyone could have possibly expected.

They barely beat a terrible Pacers team. They barely beat a Heat team without their two bigs. And then they got beat worse than anyone in history in the 4 games they lost. I dont see how thats something to beat our chest about.

Its only seen as a good season because this franchise is such a gong show. Its like a person who has only eaten bread and water their entire life. You give them a meal at East Side Marios and they think its a 5 star restaurant.

Whats worse is management will make decisions based on this "run" selling that "we can still grow from here". The reality is teams like Boston, Miami will quickly pas us, and we'll be stuck with guys like DD making max money.
