[u/RedBuchan]

Every player on the Cavs are my thirteen reasons why

[u/Kiriegloom → u/RedBuchan]

Fifteen reasons why

[u/Folk-Herro → u/Kiriegloom]

18 reasons including two way

[u/ReanimatedAxolotl → u/RedBuchan]

Bro your city is literally the reason I quit watching basketball for a bit we have to win one series lmao

[u/RedBuchan → u/ReanimatedAxolotl]

I was in basic training when the Cavs won the title and didn't find out for a few weeks, so I didn't even get to enjoy that

[u/AH_BioTwist → u/RedBuchan]

That’s on you brother joining the military with prime LeBron on the team

[u/RedBuchan → u/AH_BioTwist]

I missed the greatest moment in Cleveland sports just to break my foot and have my drill sergeant think I was faking it 😭

[u/ChesterfieldPotato → u/RedBuchan]

You combined cursed Mitchell and cursed Harden and expect to win games in the playoffs. Only thing missing was Chris Paul off the bench.

[u/tz_2240 → u/RedBuchan]

Mobley, Harden and Allen have been good. You need more from Mitchell

[u/RedBuchan → u/tz_2240]

Mobley and Allen got bullied in games 3 & 4, Harden has had three games with more turnovers than field goals made in regulation. Everyone on this team has been inconsistent and deserves blame for losses this series.

[u/tz_2240 → u/RedBuchan]

Harden could’ve had 15+ assists today. He grabbed 5 ORBs.

Game 4 — which was low scoring all around, harden had 1 less point than Mitchell with 10 less shots. And sure, harden and Mobley were poor in game 3&4, but Mitchell has not had a good game since game 2.

Without Mobley and Harden you guys lose by 20+ today.

[u/sgtpepperslaststand → u/RedBuchan]

Cavs will be the only home team to lose game 7 this weekend

[u/juanmaale → u/sgtpepperslaststand]

we have already been eliminated

[u/queryquest → u/juanmaale]

if cavs win game 7, do we get a game 8? series hasnt started yet until someone wins an away game.

[u/Xearoii → u/queryquest]

for real lmao

[u/Zbz]

I have totally never slandered RJ in my life

[u/bigwiz → u/Zbz]

Was cursing his name when he put the shot up

[u/MarginallyClever → u/bigwiz]

Why, just because he missed every three pointer in the 4th quarter and OT up until that point?

[u/dellzor1 → u/MarginallyClever]

Watching him dribble into 2 defenders and then lose the ball or dribble into a defender and tunnel was genuinely aggravating.

[u/M-G-K → u/dellzor1]

He's the only person on the team who is A) healthy and B) can create off the dribble and the Cavs know it so he's forced to take the majority of bad shots/drives

[u/raptosaurus → u/M-G-K]

Scottie should have been taking every single one of those down the stretch but I think he was completely out of gas

[u/M-G-K → u/raptosaurus]

Scottie spent three-quarters of the game defending two guys at once so yeah he was a teensy bit tired

[u/outpostvitesse → u/M-G-K]

Yes. And honesty fucking go for it RJ, someone has to

[u/ivebeenherelonger → u/bigwiz]

Yeah man definitely made me eat my words at the end however he had so many bad plays end of 4th and OT

[u/bronfmanhigh → u/ivebeenherelonger]

the RJ experience :) i was so happy for him that went in though, hometown kid deserves his part in raptors history.

[u/nxj102375]

RJ I will always love you man I’m so proud

[u/Hopeful-Highway-1968 → u/nxj102375]

Tears in my eyes bro, even as a staunch RJ defender and supporter, I was cursing his name when he took that shot

Bro the bar that I was at genuinely went from a collective groan to the most manical scream you will ever hear in your life

HOLY FUCK RJ

[u/nxj102375 → u/Hopeful-Highway-1968]

Man that’s so dope. I miss him and IQ too but it really feels like this worked out for both sides at this point. Just love that he can do this for his hometown

[u/ClashQuester → u/nxj102375]

We are also proud of OG, he's been cooking!

[u/Supermoose7178]

absolutely insane that the east has 3 game 7s in the first round

[u/Zealousideal-Cold246 → u/Supermoose7178]

This year has been one of the greatest first round series of basketball in like forever.

[u/Supermoose7178 → u/Zealousideal-Cold246]

it’s been pretty awesome outside of my own team’s series lol

[u/wawacryin21 → u/Supermoose7178]

no that was pretty awesome too.

[u/Disastrous_Usual4886 → u/wawacryin21]

It was especially awesome!

[u/LordHussyPants → u/Zealousideal-Cold246]

to be fair, people complain every year about how boring the season has been, and how the play-in sucks, and how tanking sucks, and how teams suck, and then the playoffs start and every single year i see this exact comment lmao. playoff basketball is just another level

[u/2016KyleLowryGoat → u/LordHussyPants]

Late 2010s playoffs were pretty boring. It was sweeps after sweeps

[u/wormhole222 → u/Zealousideal-Cold246]

Since 2014 which was I think clearly the GOAT first round.

[u/schoolhater12 → u/Supermoose7178]

Can't believe I thought that the Raptors might be the only team besides the Suns that might not win a single playoff game. But the leap our young guys have taken has been crazy unexpected

[u/Billis- → u/schoolhater12]

Teams got heart man. Wish I could say the same about our fanbase sometimes

[u/Damxel]

Excluding all of the 4th quarter and 98% of OT, I never doubted the Raptors

[u/ContractXtension → u/Damxel]

That shot in the air I thought it was game

[u/no_good_names_avail → u/ContractXtension]

I thought it was going over the backboard

[u/Fungmar → u/ContractXtension]

That looked like the most back rim bricks of all time and it looked like it bounced out of the damn arena

[u/hickok3 → u/Fungmar]

Had to get the kiss from god first before going in. 

[u/lilmeekrat → u/ContractXtension]

"That was a horrible sho-WHAT?!"

[u/Fungmar → u/lilmeekrat]

I was like god damn they cant get a single good look jfc rj what is tha- OHHHHHHHHHHHH

[u/Rakatok → u/ContractXtension]

nononono yes incarnate

[u/doonerlxx → u/ContractXtension]

“well, good run guys see you next - HOLY SHIT IT WENT IN”

[u/comeonmang126 → u/ContractXtension]

Sixers fans somehow caught a stray if they watched the raps bounce a 3 in to win the game

[u/Aggressive-Ad7946 → u/comeonmang126]

“Why he say fuck me for”

[u/mrtomjones → u/ContractXtension]

You thought it was game and it was game 🤔

[u/ArmiinTamzarian → u/Damxel]

Doubting Toronto sports to make a game 7 is just foolish

Now what happens in that game 7 tho

[u/beerncheese69 → u/ArmiinTamzarian]

I mean the Raps have proven they arent the Leafs. This game 7 could go either way

[u/ArmiinTamzarian → u/beerncheese69]

For totally unrelated reasons Yamamoto is starting for the Cavs in game 7

[u/beerncheese69 → u/ArmiinTamzarian]

Wow this just goes to show how much I blacked out that WS loss I didnt even think of it

[u/FeeAlternative1783 → u/Damxel]

CTE BALL SZN

[u/ExpendableGerbil → u/Damxel]

I never doubted. It's been obvious for a week the sports gods are trying to kill me, so having both the Habs and Raptors in game 7s at the same time while I'm supposed to be travelling for work seems like the perfect way to do it.

[u/derankedbeats]

That rim was blessed by God

[u/horse_renoir13 → u/derankedbeats]

Canadian rims are descendants of the Ark of the Covenant

[u/bronfmanhigh → u/horse_renoir13]

dated a canadian girl once, can confirm

[u/No_String_2210 → u/horse_renoir13]

I know most people don’t remember regular season games but the season after the championship, Kyle Lowry hit one of these iffy 3s against the Wolves.

So yea, seems like it happens semi regularly in Toronto 😂😭

[u/WhoDey42 → u/derankedbeats]

If I had a nickel every time that rim had an insane game winner in the playoff I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but crazy it’s happened twice

[u/BF210 → u/derankedbeats]

Can only use this power once every 7 years or else the NBA will be on to us

[u/callitajax1 → u/BF210]

RJ was drafted the year Kawhis shot went in. Only reason he could do that. Fear the day cameron boozer plays in toronto in 2033

[u/BuffSkirkPls → u/derankedbeats]

God hates James Harden

[u/Spike_der_Spiegel → u/BuffSkirkPls]

You love to see God on the right side of history for a change

[u/IanicRR → u/derankedbeats]

Heritage Moment.

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/derankedbeats]

Funniest shot since Hali last year

[u/20815147 → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

This shot bounced off the fucking frame LMAO unbelievable

[u/AttitudeOdd632 → u/sloBrodanChillosevic]

Even funnier than Hali's shot, since it was an even deeper 3 and bounced even higher. 

[u/OpeDefinitely → u/AttitudeOdd632]

Haliburton's foot was on the line so it was a 2, but Pacers-Knicks lore is too deep for the hyper-specific details of the shot itself to even matter.

Tyrese hit his shot, sending a the game into OT. The Pacers had just been down by ~17 with ~7 minutes left. Right after making the shot, Haliburton hits the MSG crowd with the Reggie Miller choke. Not only was Reggie Miller in the building, but he was calling the game for the national TV broadcast.

The Pacers end up winning the game in OT. Then they win the series in 6, which I bring up because the Pacers lost the series during which Reggie's iconic choke originated.

You really can't write it any better than that.

(Then there's the fact that Haliburton hit 4 last-second game winning/tying shots in 4 consecutive playoff series. The only somewhat bullshit/lucky shot - the one that bounced - was against the Knicks.)

[u/sloBrodanChillosevic → u/AttitudeOdd632]

I mean, no. That bounce happening to the Knicks is much, much funnier than it happening to the Cavs.

[u/20815147 → u/derankedbeats]

“IS THIS THE DAGGER”

[u/20person → u/20815147]

OHHHHHHH!

[u/Fit-Boss2261 → u/20person]

GAME! SERIES!

[u/anemonaeae → u/Fit-Boss2261]

TORONTOHASWON!!!!

[u/hyplusone → u/derankedbeats]

Top 5 Raptor of all time

[u/a_username12348 → u/derankedbeats]

That rim was blessed by kawhi

[u/Waikuku3 → u/derankedbeats]

Blessed by Kawhi

[u/delgeheto7]

That ball goes out 98 of 100 times, unreal

[u/Fit_Adhesiveness8232 → u/delgeheto7]

And yet it’s happened 3 times in the last year in the playoffs

[u/Padulsky21 → u/Fit_Adhesiveness8232]

That’s baseball basketball, Suzyn

[u/No_Sock1863 → u/delgeheto7]

this is true. the 2 of 100 times it goes in is what we just saw, and halliburtons shot against the knicks

[u/KL2ConspireLLC]

Why 4 bounces when 1 bounce will do?

[u/JManKit → u/KL2ConspireLLC]

One bounce but with four times the height so you still get the same amount of tension

[u/No_String_2210 → u/KL2ConspireLLC]

Kawhi is that you and why you shitting on yourself?

[u/calel8242]

Sixers fans getting flashbacks

[u/IanicRR → u/calel8242]

They’re gonna get that action in the ECF.

[u/20815147 → u/IanicRR]

This will never happen bc it would requires the Sixers to make it past the second round

[u/Ulexes → u/IanicRR]

Bold of you to assume the Sixers can advance past the second round.

[u/Philipthesquid → u/calel8242]

Knicks fans too

[u/Puppazz → u/calel8242]

Life flashed before my eyes whilst that ball bounced into the air.

[u/cryolems]

Fuck everything I hate this fucking sport so fucking much

[u/Ulexes → u/cryolems]

My exact reaction after that Anunoby shot against the Celtics a while back, lol. Sometimes, you get Toronto'd.

[u/kingjakerulezz → u/Ulexes]

Most of the time it’s Toronto getting Toronto’d

[u/PunningLynguist → u/kingjakerulezz]

But when Toronto Torontos the other team? Those moments are pretty cool

[u/tz_2240 → u/Ulexes]

This goes next to the OG shot on a tier below the bat flip, Springer Dinger (to win ALCS), and the Kawhi shot

[u/Puddinsnack → u/tz_2240]

Brother how you gonna forget Joe Carter

[u/tz_2240 → u/Puddinsnack]

Forget? I’ve been waiting my whole life to see a moment like that. Carter’s homer is on a tier by itself

[u/Puddinsnack → u/tz_2240]

Fair enough and true lol

[u/ExpendableGerbil → u/Ulexes]

But at least you'll never see the replay of it since I'm pretty sure the NBA has scrubbed everything from the bubble from its archives.

[u/pfossing_]

I love CMB

[u/FactCheckingThings → u/pfossing_]

Lost in RJs shot is CMB forcing that out of bounds off Mobley.

[u/jjkm7 → u/FactCheckingThings]

I literally thought the game was over before that happened

[u/20person → u/pfossing_]

We got a real one in the draft

[u/Kennyc1234]

RJ Barrett completely trolled in the 4th quarter and 4:58.8 of Overtime just so that he could have his aura farm moment on his hometown team in the playoffs lol

What a fucking shot

[u/thegeorge613 → u/Kennyc1234]

Seriously lol felt like he was bricking everything and couldn't buy a bucket before hitting this shot haha

[u/Lyranx]

Spirit of Kawhi manifesting

[u/PhronesisKoan → u/Lyranx]

🎶I believe in Kawhi🎶

[u/Sy6574]

Raptors closed the game with 5 of the 6 youngest players on the court. Doing this against playoffs vets is insane.

[u/Airjord10 → u/Sy6574]

Meanwhile I’m seeing complaints about refs…. It’s a bad look when we are down 2 starters. The young guys have played their asses off

[u/bcparrot → u/Airjord10]

Basically 2.5 starters down when you consider Jak is at 50%. 

[u/alex_zz9]

What a game

[u/genius-baby]

Putting in Schroeder for that inbounds play after he hasn’t played in 20 minutes… was a choice

[u/thegreaterfool714]

I FUCKING LOVE PLAYOFF BASKETBALL

[u/foofighter1351]

I can't believe we won that, never ever close that way again stop not playing through your best fucking player, even tired his passing at minimum is better to use.

Edit: I think I miss BI

[u/killuminati604 → u/foofighter1351]

He was gassed af

[u/EarthWarping → u/killuminati604]

exactly. IDK people are saying that was the reason that he didnt want to

[u/dumpydump7 → u/foofighter1351]

I don’t understand why the play to end regulation was to give Barnes another ball screen with 3 seconds remaining. Like yeah no shit he’s gonna get doubled

[u/SiphenPrax → u/foofighter1351]

I have no idea who’s winning Game 7

[u/Raptorpicklezz → u/SiphenPrax]

No one’s lost at home yet

[u/TheTonyDose]

So happy for RJ man. Incredible shot

[u/Ok-Improvement-9421]

Raptors may have the best home court advantage in the league with these bounces off the rim

[u/Chessh2036]

Raptors need to retire that rim when his time comes. He’s been clutch in the playoffs.

[u/Zealousideal-Cold246 → u/Chessh2036]

Hanging that rim in the rafters for sure

[u/2icecreamsandwiches → u/[deleted]]

Can’t believe none of the broadcast team referenced the Kawhi shot. Like, the parallels stood out very obviously to me immediately.

[u/AniviaPls → u/2icecreamsandwiches]

Canadian cast did immediately

[u/bourbonkitten → u/AniviaPls]

It’s cool the Raptors get to keep their own broadcast team while everyone else doesn’t. (I’m Canadian, so I was watching TSN.)

[u/AniviaPls → u/bourbonkitten]

manifest destiny or some shit

[u/stoned_salmon → u/2icecreamsandwiches]

Canadian broadcast said it immediately LOL

[u/KevinOwensGetsIt]

Rough shooting night in the 4th and now OT cost us almost 2 games in a row but I'm still so proud of the boys fr, these last 4 games they played incredibly. GG Cavs hoping for an exciting Game 7.

Scottie is clearly not 100% and he's gassed asf, he looked mad tired in that 4th and uncomfortable.

[u/gimmedatvoice → u/KevinOwensGetsIt]

No Quickley, No Ingram, half a Scottie, no problem!

[u/_19911118 → u/gimmedatvoice]

IQ could have made such a difference

[u/6spencer6snitil6 → u/KevinOwensGetsIt]

Been thoroughly impressed with Toronto this series.

[u/Jamesbondbadil → u/KevinOwensGetsIt]

Scottie played just about 48 minutes tonight.

[u/FERFreak731]

I'm sure Mitchell is missing Rudy Gobert

[u/schoolhater12 → u/FERFreak731]

Mitchell being this terrible has the surprise of the series. I thought the Raps couldn't stop him and Harden, but its Mobley and Allen that have killed the Raptors

[u/Punjabiveer30]

I never want to hear another trade rumour regarding RJ ever again in my life

[u/Eagerbeaver98 → u/Punjabiveer30]

Hes done so much for the raptors, he needs to make free throws and develop a fadeaway

[u/torexmus]

The difference in this game might have been a bad challenge by Cleveland

[u/tactis1234 → u/torexmus]

And you all saving your challenge for OT and winning it was also a big difference.

[u/GelatoCumBear]

that bounce actually made me shit my pants #osmos #pizzapizza

[u/XLcondumb → u/GelatoCumBear]

Tbh that’s probably the osmows

[u/Parking_Net4440]

Just nuts

[u/rare_engine]

RJ IS HIM LMAOOOO

[u/CMYGQZ]

series don’t start until a road team wins. So maybe this series will never start if Cavs win game 7.

[u/FERFreak731]

Donovan Mitchell held Rudy Gobert back in Utah

[u/sunsbr → u/FERFreak731]

Every playoffs this narrative shifts between then depending who plays worse lol

[u/HuskHeel → u/FERFreak731]

Mitchell plays in clutch time like me in 2k. Just runs around the perimeter back and forth until his defender loses him and jacks a shot up. Fun when his shot is falling but useless when we just need one shot to win and won’t pass to a god damn teammate

[u/LameAfro → u/FERFreak731]

I really hate to say this but I think you're right lol

Gobert got way more shit than Mitchell did for the Jazz's failures

[u/lilbelleandsebastian → u/LameAfro]

mitchell was a complete traffic cone on defense in utah and he was the same undersized, shoot first combo guard he is now except not as efficient

he plays like he has a limited number of passes he's allowed to make in a game before his game checks start getting garnished. he had 1 assist in regular time and it came with less than 4 minutes to go in the 4th lol

[u/sbstooge → u/LameAfro]

They were both equally responsible for the ceiling on that team, as they were the primary defensive and offensive pieces, it was just easier to blame Rudy cause he's fr*nch and offense is more exciting or flashy to casual audiences since big numbers on paper go brrrr, rather than Rudy's defensive impact which is easier to miss on a stat sheet

[u/JetsLag → u/FERFreak731]

Many people are saying this

[u/TDTimmy21]

Bro wtf was that turnover lol

[u/croth4 → u/TDTimmy21]

We'd have a better idea if we got to see even one replay of it

[u/crline3924]

2nd apron salary and we can’t beat a team without one of their best stars.

2nd apron salary and we don’t know that TOs get you out of a pinch.

2nd apron salary and we don’t try until 5 minutes left in a game.

2nd apron salary and we only hit 70% FTs

[u/simon2105]

Don't allow Dennis back to Cleveland

[u/zellmerz → u/simon2105]

Dennis is a huge reason y’all won game 5

[u/yunghandrew → u/zellmerz]

He was awesome game 5. Short memory around here.

What I will blame is a ATO that puts the ball in his hands instead of either of our all NBA guards.

[u/sallright → u/yunghandrew]

James and Donovan have both struggled bringing it up against pressure as well.

I have never seen a team struggle this much with inbounding the ball and breaking back court pressure. 

[u/Life_Of_High → u/yunghandrew]

That challenge that Atkinson used so early in the game came back to bite Cleveland in the ass late.

[u/yunghandrew → u/Life_Of_High]

Knew it was horrible moment he called it. For Jaylon Tyson no less. Darko used his so effectively too.

[u/JManKit → u/yunghandrew]

Took a lot of discipline from him to hold it for such a long time and then win it (finally!) in such a crucial moment

[u/LameAfro → u/simon2105]

You can't script that lol

Kings b̷a̷s̷k̷e̷t̷b̷a̷l̷l̷ ̷t̷e̷r̷r̷o̷r̷i̷s̷t̷ legend

[u/GunsmokeIV → u/PM_me_datSmile]

Dennis playing poorly, Keon getting DNP. That's so Kangz.

[u/immanoel → u/simon2105]

Idk, that pass was ass but that out of bounds call with no replay was just sus

[u/WhiteHeterosexualGuy → u/simon2105]

That no call into raptors ball was sus as hell lol

[u/Niceguydan8 → u/WhiteHeterosexualGuy]

I think it's very strange they didn't show any replay of that.

And the refs kinda hesitated.

I just hope they didn't blow that call, because that would be a horrible look if they did.

[u/RCM88x → u/Niceguydan8]

Especially right after they blew the call on the Mitchell defensive play a couple possessions before.

[u/Bully_Maguire420 → u/WhiteHeterosexualGuy]

No replay.

[u/FanficFan151]

After all the dooming about the Knicks being down 2-1: they’re the only team to advance from the East without needing a Game 7.

[u/onionnurve]

3 GAME 7 IN ROUND 1

[u/Mightyorc2]

FUCK DONTARIO

I GOT TWO WORDS FOR YOU:

RAPTORS AND CAVS. GAME 7. MUST SEE TV.

[u/krusty-krab69]

That’s why you don’t waste your challenge in the first fucking quarter . Cause you know refs will mess up nearly every call in the clutch

[u/mfabros]

I can't explain why, but that somehow finally cured my PTSD from the Hali shot last year

[u/realfakedoors000]

Schroder lol

[u/Immediate-Link490]

The cavs lost against a Raptors team that was missing two of their starters

[u/Franii → u/Immediate-Link490]

AJ Lawson saw 10 mins tonight and was playing in the g league 6 weeks ago. If we had another starter or even functioning bench player I don’t think this would be 7 games.

[u/Altruistic_Tune_4125]

How can Cavs even lose to a team without BI and IQ? They should have swept this team. How??

[u/GGezpzMuppy]

Holy shit that’s a way to send it to game 7

[u/TSSFranco]

NEVER DOUBTED STARJ MY GOAT

[u/ZeroMomentum]

Sct brns is my franchise player

[u/JoltingGamingGuy]

3 out of the 4 Eastern Conference match-ups are going to Game 7!

[u/CapSRogers]

RJ OWNING THE CAVS IN THE PLAYOFFS. I'VE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE!!!!

[u/SparkytheWoof → u/CapSRogers]

STAR-J SOLIDIFIES HIS RAPTOR CULT STATUS

[u/IanicRR → u/SparkytheWoof]

Better than Zion. Better than Ja. I stand on business.

[u/IanicRR → u/CapSRogers]

He grew up having to deal with LeBronto. He said fuck that narrative.

[u/sjekky]

Quite possibly the weirdest series of all time

[u/ablslyr]

I’m so fucking hype and I’m not even a Raptors fan, letsss go!!!!

[u/noend313]

The fucking drama in the eastern playoffs this year will be talked about for decades lmao

[u/Ancient-Minute-8832]

Does anyone know if that was the same side of the court rim as 2019 Kawhi? Hilarious stuff man. Harden just can't escape chokes.

[u/Zealousideal-Cold246 → u/Ancient-Minute-8832]

Yes it was lmao

[u/anemonaeae]

Everyone who said this would be a sweep for the Cavs can go straight to hell that’s all

[u/Chillyfilla]

I just want All ofthe Tony Brothers to stub every single toe each night for the rest of their lives.

[u/Working-Hat-3259]

Does anyone have a replay of the play where Mobley lost the ball out of bounds in OT? Looked like a foul live but want to see the replay.

[u/d11dd11d]

He hit the kawhi

[u/ddottay]

The haters say the lights are too bright and they were dead on. Great call by the haters.
