Lopsided Cavs way you meant. You said lopsided Raptors way.....just wanted to correct that in case anyone read it the wrong way. RAptors have a hard enough time containing the King, then they are being asked to deal with 3 more guys on a nightly basis who have more power then Lebron.

Boring for some when two top pre-season seeds make it to finals, smaller market fans need to know their team has a real chance. League probably doesn't need to care about this though, or maybe they do? Does the average fan stop watching after their team is eliminated?Comment -
Yes...when Raptors are done, I 100% will not watch another game. This is a bullsh!t league, but I love the Raptors.....wish I didnt, because the odds are stacked against them.Comment -
yes its been pro-toronto i have eyes
same as NHL doing everything they can to get tampa in the finalsComment -
Demar where are you? $138 Mill contract and the coach had you parked on the bench in the most important game of your life.
Stop blaming refs, it's been neutral both teams have gotten calls. Lebron is an unstoppable freight train. Lebron is greatness personified in every sense of the word. My god is he perfection!!Comment -
NBA is having record attendance and record TV numbers. It's not boring to see the Cavs and Warriors play for a title at all. That's the matchup that is going to get more viewers. Half the fans hate the Warriors super team and the other half hate Lebron. No one wants to see Harden flopping around like a fish, turning the game into a free throw contest and no one gives a shit about baby brother Canada.

Laker - you guaranteed Toronto would win in this series. You said it was impossible for Lebron to beat these Raptors. Your dumb ass said the NBA wanted Toronto to win. Now you're saying he has no chance against the Warriors? HAHA, Cav's fans are praying that you bet the Warriors. If you and Seeweed are on the same side, the Cav's will be hosting another trophy. Hell, I bet I can get a collection going, for you to bet Warriors. Keep on mushing.

I get it, thanks. For me, Once my team is out, I pretty much lose interest, but from what you're saying, that's not typical, and that the smaller market American fan is more inclined keep watching through to finals, even after their team has been eliminated, hence record tv numbers from Goliath vs Goliath, instead of David versus Goliath.NBA is having record attendance and record TV numbers.

Lol....i respect you banker, but you have not been watching the same series. The refs have done everything to keep the Raps from legit competing. Whether they change calls in the Cavs favor, call sh!t ticky tack fouls on Raps best players to sit them down, dont review Flagrents, etc etc etc. Anything to crush any momentum. Ive seen this seen garbage 3 straight years....dont know why I think it would be different this yearComment -
Im stunned Im hearing people say this series had been pro Toronto officiating. I live 15 minutes from Cincy, and have some good buddies who are Cavs fans texting me during each game rubbing the poorly officated games in my face.Comment -
When the refs whistle blew, Lebron would smile everytime knowing the call would favor Cleveland. Became comical. Dont know how anyone would think officials favored Raptors team with no fan base that no one wants to advance. Lebron got the message toward the end to make it look competitive. Missing evry shoot. Game was completely scripted.Comment -
We The North !!!

Games 1 and 2 the entire in game is talking about all the favorable/blatant garbage calls going craptors way., think you looking at it thru Toronto fan issued glasses buddy!! Lol...the respect is mutual my friend but totally disagree on who the refs been helping. Did everything in their power during the game that went to ot to help Toronto!! Fact is raptors a completely average team w couple fringe all stars, that type team will never beat best player on planet, just not how hoops works, best player wins and refs got absolutely nothing to do with it!!Comment -
I was all over cavs that series but lost so much chasing those 3 losses they killed my resolve and I gave up! Fukks couldn't have just started winning 1 game sooner!! LolComment -
Give me +600 on the best player ever and I'm taking it every time. The guy won 2 finals games with Matthew Delleva-dleague startingComment -
Well the refs took game 1 away from us plain and simple. Love drops a pretty big elbow on Derozan and connects with 40 seconds left. Ive seen 10 worse Fragrents this postseason. When I saw Raptors getting ready to inbound after no review was instagated, I knew right there what was happening. I mean when an elbow is thrown and lands, you look at it for fu(k sake....you review everything else. Then for the NbA to issue Love a retroactive Fragrent 1 after the game was the ultimate kick in the sack. That call is made, Raps likely up 4 with the ball, and 40 seconds left. Would have been difficult for Cavs to win.
Reverse the roles....lets say same situation and Ibaka clocks Lebron with an elbow....do you think it gets reviewed? You get my point now??Comment -
The officiating is actually a big part of the reason Raptors are falling into these big holes. Id like one time for the refs to blow a couple ticky tack fouls on Lebron, and sit him down for long stretches....but it will never happen. Refs know they cant do it, or they are reprimanded. Im sorry guys, but it true. Fyi, I havent wagered one game in this seriess. Im getting more fired up about this sh!t then games Im losing $500 on.Comment -
I also recall Love jumping around with the ball, doing the shuffle without a travel call.....the refs tried and succeeded in giving the Cavs this game. I'm not even sure why this is a debate....lol. In all honesty, I feel like you guys are playing a game with me, that only you all understand, lol. The Raps have been playing at a major, major disadvantage all series. The Cavs got whistled for 14 fouls in Game 2.......14! Lowry had 10 quick points that game, and then got called for 2 phantom fouls, taking him out of the game, and ruining any momentum. Let's call a spade a spade gentlemen.Comment -
Look I've got a good chunk on raptors futures and the refs have been jumping through hoops for Toronto this series
Needles to say any lebron team will always get calls or get to travel etc but for these games to even be close is a testament to how fraudulent Toronto is
Teams that are hungry and rdy to prove themselves would've blown a cavs team like this out by 20 in consecutive games at the very leastComment -
I dont get why it is that when Lebron complains about a call, the refs keep huddling up, and sure enough it gets overturned. THis has happened a couple of times now. And they have reviewed 2 calls on Lebron.......a slap on the head where Derozan made a play on the ball, and a play where he locked up Lowry, so Lowry pushed him off, lol.
The refs might be giving the Raps some calls to try and even up the count, but critical time calls, have all gone the Cavs way.Comment -
I agree, dont like either team.. He got called for offensive foul and then minute later bron runs him over and no offensive foul but on Lowry.. Cavs got some easy fouls and got to ft line in game 3 too.. Ibaka block on Love? casey went nuts.. also no and one on Ibaka's dunk.. momentum shift there too..Instead of being down 8 cavs hit 3 and 13 point game.. Not saying Casey had to put Ibaka before in the game and take Valanc out... he made some bad decisions, cavs better because of the Bron but there were some bad bad callsComment -
Agreed Europe_Baller.......I would just like to see where this series would end up under different circumstances. I see the owner got a hefty fine for walking on the court at halftime, arguing for the game to officiated evenly.
Oh well......Comment
