Just aren't trying? What the fuck lol
Two other teams in the East swept in convincing fashion against better teams. Miami plays a very similar game to Toronto and is one of the scrappiest teams in the league, with a ton of young talent to boot. I don't see how anyone can watch Miami and say they don't play like they have something to prove.
This is the most important playoffs for Lebron's legacy since 2017. He's likely going to drag the Lakers far further than they deserve to go. PG is playing terrible right now, but if they make it past the Mavs they're still favourites in the West. Him and Kawhi are under a lot of pressure to justify the massive moves that brought them together.
