Unfortunately, on May 27, 2016, the Toronto Raptors have lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers. In this series, lost in game six resulting in four wins for the Cavaliers and only two wins for the Raptors. It was a very unfortunate night since we lost in our home court. The Raptors put up a great effort but it wasn't enough to force a game seven. However, they showed great resiliency after losing the first two games in the series by winning game three and four in the Air Canada Centre.
The player that stopped our team from advancing to the Championship series was the "King", LeBron James (Dude below). The King averaged 24.6 points per game, 2.2 steals per game, 7 assists per game, and 8.6 rebounds per game. These are truly monstrous stats coming from the small forward all-star as he averaged +5 in points, assists and rebounds and 2.2 steals per game is a great accomplishment. LeBron James has to be one of the greatest all-around players that the NBA has ever had. He showed why his team made it to the championship round by carrying his team. Mad respect for the man.

Making it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals is more than enough in my opinion. Every consecutive season, starting when Dwayne Casey was the head coach, the roster has grown and matured as players. Every season, our record got better thanks to the roster developing their skills. As fans, we owe our wins to Lowry and DeRozan since these two great basketball players have stuck with us ever since they joined the team. Before, they were just average players who gave minor contributions. Today, they are one of the greatest back courts the Raptors has ever had and are all-stars. A really amazing feat for these two players. DeRozan and Lowry represent the face of the Raptors and I couldn't be more proud. Thank you Raptors an amazing regular season and post season.
