I don't understand why this storyline of the Raptors "choking" every year in the Playoffs has so much weight and continues to be used over and over. I'm not even coming at anyone but it's such a lazy cop out.
I've said it for most of the season but if you continue to use the "Derozan and Lowry choke in the Playoffs" excuse then it just proves you haven't watched a Raptors game all year. Yes...they've choked and haven't been able to get by a Lebron team WITH KYRIE but this is a different team.
Why do people not mention the Bucks as chokers when they haven't made it past the first round in 17 years? or the Trail Blazers who were a 3rd seed and Lillard and CJ get so hyped but get swept? Westbrook and the Thunder?
All I'm saying is that that's kind of a lazy way to analyze things. Obviously the games have to be played and we'll see what happens but that kind of talk is legit making it sound like they have the exact same team as previous years. The Raptors have never had this kind of bench depth and the exact opposite, I'd say Lebron has never had this little help. He's been having to average like 50 pts a game to just barely beat Indiana in 7.
