Coach of the Year

[bksballer89]

hasn't Toronto been a 1-3 seed in the East for like 10 years?

More like 3-4 years but never this good. This is hands down their best team and most actually expected a drop off in their team this year.

Quite a few people had Cleveland, Boston, Washington, and Milwaukee finishing ahead

Nope.

I feel like since Bosh was an All-Star there the Raptors have been one helluva regular season team and never amounting to anything in the playoffs.

I would have guessed Cleveland and Boston. But DeRozan is one of the best guards in the league IMO. Dude is awesome.

 

[OregonDucks]

With all that said, Toronto still wont represent the East in the Finals. Probably wont even get to the Conf. Finals.

This is true, I was just pointing out they haven't been high seeds that long. Bosh left a long time ago.

He got much better this year. Almost everyone had Washington ahead of Toronto as well. What they're doing is pretty stunning

They missed the playoffs a lot with Bosh. I believe they only made the playoffs once with CB and the Dwight Howard led Magics made quick work of them

Washington and Toronto are both the same. Always good in the regular season and do nothing in the post season. Toronto built depth this year, maybe to help rest their stars before the playoffs, but they don't have the horses to compete in the post season with the other top East teams.

No, Cleveland

In all honesty, without googling, I do think they were a 6-3 seeds with Bosh.

LOL I'll reserve judgement until I see how Cleveland look with K-Love but for the record, I would take Toronto in a best of 7 over the other 6 teams in the Eastern playoffs.

Let me google that to see who was right

HA! What!?! They only made the playoffs twice with Bosh and both times early exits.

I would LOVE for Cleveland to get knocked out and not make the finals, but until it happens, I'll take LeBron's 8? Straight Final appearances streak.

Looks like you were right. They made the playoffs 2x with Bosh. Finished as a 3rd seed once and 6th seed the other year. But the year they finished as a 6 seed, the east was really bad. They were the 6th seed at 41-41

I thought they made the post season far more than just twice with Bosh.
