Cleveland was without Kevin Love for the whole series and Kyrie Irving was injured Game 1.

They did what Portland & Houston couldn't do and that was close them out. BTW Toronto swept the regular season series which is why they had home court advantage but they are 4-0 at Oracle this season so it didn't matter.

I wonder how they would have done if the Warriors could have played their entire team. Congratulations are in order to the Raptors. They were clearly the better team in this series and no one can ever take it away from them.

Much more exciting too. But Toronto would also have played a different game plan if Durant was in there. Who's to say the result would have been different? I only watch basketball when it's playoff time, and when I do I root for Golden State only because I used to live in the area. That said, I won't deny the Raptors any of the credit they deserve. The trophy belongs to them and the rest of us have to say, "Just wait until NEXT year." It's all we got.
Cheers.

I also appreciated the sportsmanship of Golden State. I starting watching Steve Kerr when he played for UofA (my home town). Pure talent, leadership and integrity.

different. But I do think the Raptors played well considering Leonard, drafted 15th, was the top draftees on the team.
