Toronto Raptors: 3 reasons the season is over

1. LeBron James is still the King

To say that LeBron James won this series singlehandedly in the same fashion as the series against Indiana would be a flat-out lie.

As mentioned before, Kevin Love was phenomenal, while guys like J.R. and Korver played like the snipers we know them to be, but at the end of the day, it all revolves around James, and Toronto’s lack of answers for him.

The man was simply the best player on the court by the widest of margins. The 11.3 assists per game he averaged against the Raptors were the most he’s ever put up in a postseason series, and that was with 34 points per game on 55.3 percent shooting.

Nobody in the NBA can shut down the best player in the world, but Toronto did absolutely nothing to make things tough for him, allowing him to go one-on-one against any opponent that dare try to stop him.

We are witnessing arguably the greatest player of all time at probably the peak of his offensive powers, as he stamped his mark on every single facet of the series against the Raptors.

With two All-Stars surrounded by good role players and one of the best benches in the league, Toronto was a good team during the regular season.

However, good simply isn’t good enough when matched up against one of the best to ever do it.
