Yup. 2nd round was the as far as they've gone in the past.
Successful season for sure, however these blowout losses to the only team in their conference that was better than them in the regular season really hurts. Getting over this hurdle in coming years won't be easy.
Yup! In 2001 the Raptors lost to the 76ers in Game 7 of the second round. Raptors beat all the odds that we would never get past first round.
It was a huge accomplishment considering our salary cap is only at 71 million vs. Cavs 108 million. ESPN, Bleacher Report, and CBS gave zero credit to the Raptors during the entire Playoffs run. After winning Game 3 and 4 at home, Stephen A. Smith of ESPN apologized to all Canadian fans for writing off the Raptors to get sweep by the Cavs.
But last night was brutal to watch. Turnovers, stupid mistakes, lack of rebounding killed the team.
I am a fan since 1995, I didn't go to all games like Nav but I love playing and watching basketball
