There is no possible way Toronto can beat Cleveland. The NBA won't allow it.

the NBA is BIG - worth $billions - and their superstar guy right now is Lebron James. The NBA
will even cheat if necessary, but a Canadian team with a nobody will NOT advance to the finals.
there's too much money involved.



I am guaranteeing a Cleveland win of the series.
The referees will even cheat if necessary, to make sure Cleveland advances.

agree 100%

It doesn't happen often, but it did happen before.

^ Listen to Barkeley @ 1:55, he says "You did bring your own officials to that game." Everyone knows the referees
cheated to help the Lakers beat Sacramento (years ago)

But now, it's looking perfect - everyone wants Cleveland to play Golden State and that's what is going
to happen.

Bumped

Wow, I'm not basketball fan.
It's looking like Thinktank has hit the mark with thread, Toronto won Eastern Conference but has hit a wall of choking against Cleveland.

The NBA can't guarantee the teams they want to be in the finals will be in the finals,
but the NBA referees can help a little.

I saw how they gave Michael Jordan some help against Indiana years ago, and they gave Lebron James a little help with totally dishonest call this year against Indiana (small market team) also.

All we see is that Lebron is a hero, and Toronto choked. We don't see the little things the refs do
to just give a tiny advantage to Lebron.

It looks like Toronto will never make the finals - ever.

That's Kawhi Leonard when he was drafted. The guy on the left is no longer running the league bu *bleep* doesn't matter.

the NBA, which in my opinion tries to nudge the outcomes of games the way they want, doesn't like
Kawhi Leonard for some reason. They tested Kawhi for drugs right after a spectacular game he played two years ago.
They treated him like crap. They would never do that to any other superstar players.

Now he plays for Toronto. If a Canadian team were ever to win the NBA championship, it would make the NBA
lose a lot of money. there is no way Toronto will ever win it all. The NBA will NOT allow it.

So watch and see what happens. I'm just waiting to see how soon Toronto gets eliminated.

Well guess what, the Toronto Raptors are going to the NBA finals.

How would you like that crow served?

I've never been a basketball fan, but this is good for this sport in Canada.

Congratulations to Toronto Raptors on making it to the NBA Finals.

I haven't really been a basketball fan either, but watching the ending of the last two games was exciting and had me on the edge of my seat. Way to go Raps! Going to be interesting to see how they do against the Golden State Warriors. Go Raptors Go!

Worst thing about it is to have to watch that Drake idiot jump around like some lunatic, otherwise it's pretty exciting

Yep, Geddy Lee is much more composed few rows up behind the back-catcher at Blue Jays games then Drake at Raptors games.

It borders on the ridiculous to watch him. Imagine having to sit behind him, you couldn't watch the game with his @$$ constantly in your face.

well so much for that thinktank

Not that I would ever think I would come to Thinktank's defence, but he did say that a Toronto team with a nobody would not win. That was in a prior year.
This year, we have Kawhi and he is far from a nobody. Entered the season, after playing nine games last season, as a recognized top five player and now the talk is whether he is number one at the moment.
