The Raptors made it to the second round before being swept by the Cavaliers for the second straight season. This is the third season in a row that the Raptors have lost to the Cavaliers in the playoffs one way or another. It has also cost coach Dwane Casey his job, which has been controversial. Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan's playoff performances have been inconsistent (at best) over the years and many wonder if Casey needed to fall on his sword for that? At the end of the day though, what can you do against Lebron James? That's the roadblock that will haunt the Raptors so long as #23 plays in the east. I guess Masai felt that the Raptors needed to look like they were doing something.
