The Toronto Raptors implode against the Cleveland Cavaliers in an 18-point shellacking, completely losing home court and falling behind 0-2 in the series.

The Toronto Raptors have me stripped down to my skin and my bones. There was a time when I thought they could make the finals.

I had that feeling all the way up until the 8-0 run by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first two minutes of the second half, which effectively ended the game.

The Raptors’ faithful are ride or dies but, down 0-2 to Lebron James and the LeBrons, death looks imminent. The Raps could come back and win two games in Cleveland though. Just saying.

Welcome to the eighth playoff edition of Raptors Revelations. We’re doing 6, because, you know, Toronto… Drake… Raptors… It’s supposed to be fun, but when the Raps get blown out on their home floor it can get depressing.

These are the sobering, snarky or dare I say, smart thoughts that stick with me when I watch Raptors games. These are the revelations.
