The Raptors are the best in the East and the Raptors 905 are going back to the G League finals!

The Raptors are facing off the Wizards in the first round.

Very likely will Team Drake face Team LeBron in the second round.

If that happens, the Cavs are going to win in 5 or 6.

Raptors defeated the Wizards 114 to 106 in Game 1 of the First Round of the Playoffs!

And more importantly, Lebron and the Cavs lost Game 1 of their First Round series!

I think the Raptors will be able to overcome the two losses in Washington. They are excellent at the ACC, and I think will be able to use the emotion in the City to pull off a victory. I'd be worried if they go down 3-2 in the series and with the next game back in Washington.

 

[Johnny Au]

Raptors win!

Game 6 will be in the District of Columbia.

 

[Johnny Au]

Raptors ate the Wizards!

We shall take on Team LeBron and his merry cavaliers!

That was brutal.

That was brutal.

There's always a next year...

Why must the Raptors' best chances had to coincide with LeBron's dominance?

This team isn’t good enough to compete for a championship. I wasn’t surprised by the outcome of this series.

A lot of people want Casey fired, but I feel their stars simply aren't good enough.

This team would still be useless in the playoffs with Phil Jackson as their coach. Your concluding point is correct.

A lot of people got their wish then. Ironic that the axe fell right after Casey was voted Coach of the Year.
