Hi everyone. I won't be doing regular work on the site this year. I could perhaps chime in during elims for a preview and do year end all stars, but outside of that there won't be any work done. Appreciate all the support over the years. God bless all of you. - G

Some NBA team better be giving @jerrystackhouse a serious look at a head coaching job this offseason. I'm about to practice with the @Raptors905, sign a 10 day with the @Raptors, and hit a couple 3's from the corner.
@Insider6ix If anyone has actually seen the Raptors play this year, and they think this is the same team, playing the same basketball, with the same prospects of success they've had in the past... That's just fucked... Shouldn't even bother discussing anything with those people.
@Insider6ix I think ur really going to have to come to grips with the fact that these people that discredit the Raptors have seen them play in the playoffs only the last few years and maybe here or there on national TV games. And they base their opinions according to ESPN's LeBron coverage
@Insider6ix Problem is when facts change ppls opinions dont. The Raptors have never been this good, this deep, this dominant or played this brand of basketball. They've been good but not great. LeBron has always had a GREAT supporting cast ('16 aside) but doesn't this yr.
@KevinRashidi It's lazy. No blame to those though, other than the fact that watching just maybe three of their games in a row, and any idiot would be able to see that the team is different. Never in the past have any metrics screamed top 2 or 3 team in the league like this year. Oh well
This latest Cavs implosion is going to be so hilarious. It's going to be all the discussion tomorrow. Perhaps at some point these experts will realize this LeBron guy doesn't have the help he has had in past seasons.
@xxKeypainxx @Gauth_25 It's ok though... I don't blame you .. you probably only watch them the 3-4 times they play Boston and maybe the 1-2 other times they're on national TV... Assuming there isn't a Celtics game on local TV that night.
@xxKeypainxx @Gauth_25 Thanks for making my point that I've been harping on... If you think this Raptors team is the same team then you're lost. Last year's lineup vs Cavs was: Joseph, DeRozan, Tucker, Ibaka, JV.. and Powell, Patterson, Carroll.
@Gauth_25 And I just noticed you put Boston in that post. The Celtics lost 4-1 in the ECF last year to Cavs (they would have lost to the Bulls in round 1 if Rondo didn't get hurt). Got bounced in the first round yr before that. And lost 4-0 to Cavs yr before that. So that is laughable.
@j_ryan66@Gauth_25 Amen. Nothing embarrassing about having your last two playoff series losses to a guy that hasn't lost a series in the conference for like 7 or 8 years or whatever it is. But again.. he doesn't have a Wade/Bosh.. Kyrie .. anymore
@Gauth_25 But aside from that, I could care less whether people love or hate the team. Objectively speaking... They've never had a team this good at both offence and defence, their overall rotation, and style of play. Those are not opinions.. those are facts.
@Gauth_25 Did I say something about them getting hate? Maybe I did... But I can't recall saying that. Not on posts necessarily, but in discussions with people.. I've said that the they need to show this or that first argument is lazy. Because everything indicates this team is different.
