[Highlight] The Cavaliers fans in the arena start singing “Hey, hey, goodbye” at the end of game 7.
You know what, that’s totally fair lol
You know we lost right?
If I’m paying hundreds of dollars and my team wins a game 7, I’m singing every song I know
[deleted]
Because I’m not a bitch?
I respect you. Not these other bitches
Marsellus Wallace?
It’s implied acting like a whiny sore loser is acting like a bitch.
Your reading comprehension sucks balls
lol you gotta be a harden fan huh
I think that’s the point
I dont understand complimenting the other team when you lose.
You don’t understand not being a sore loser?
MaybeI just hate losing. If I lose i’m not complimenting the other party. I’ll take my loss, but i’m not happy to lose
You didn’t lose, you’re not playing. Its not that serious
Am I missing the “compliment”? He just acknowledged that it is a fair thing for the winner to do.
No one is happy to lose brother. But it’s a sign of maturity to accept defeat with grace
Good series friend, sorry the injury bug got you guys. We had the same last year and didn’t put up nearly the same fight. Congrats on the season and better things to come, Toronto is a great city with great fans
Unfortunately I am not a gracious person. Gg tho
Yikes. Don’t take it to heart so much bro. Saying something is fair isn’t equivalent to complimenting it.
Sorry poor choice of words. I’m just a drunk dickhead anyways lmao.
It’s not complimenting
It’s acknowledging that a victor gets to celebrate especially when you/loser don’t even make it close
Whatever you say boss gg
Why are raptors fans being so pissy about a home teams crowd being happy that they’re winning? It’s a 4 v 5 seed too, not like the Cavs were heavily favored
the cavs were literally heavily favored
you think the Cavs weren’t heavily favored?
I really don’t care about gamblers. I should’ve phrased it differently, I just don’t think the Cavs were that much better a team than the Raptors were.
Well that’s just you’re personal opinion. The companies that make money off ppl had the Cavs heavily favored
What were the odds before the series started?
Cavs were -550 to win the series
Harden/Mitchell/SF/Mobley/Allen is a lineup of 4 all star level players (1 all star replacement level in Jarrett Allen). They also have role players like Tyson, Merrill and Struss who shoot over 40% from 3 on good volume.
Meanwhile the Raptors had one all nba level player and one all star level player. They were starting a second round pick and have no centers that are starting level.
On paper the Cavs should’ve won in 5, but the Raptors young guys played really well before falling apart in a game 7 setting.
They booed our national anthem at the start. And the Cavs were 100% heavily favored, regardless of seeding
I’m not gonna take issue with the first part, but the cavs HEAVILY favoured in this matchup. Even after the raps pushed it to 7 games the Cavs were still favoured to win by 8.5 points.
according to 1 betting website?
Nothing rattles canadian sports fans more than USA chants in domestic sports lol
The raptors have a sneaky massive fanbase on Reddit, that’s why all you see is raptors posts when they win…and when they lose the more toxic fans have more voices to upvote shit and bitch.
Idk how it’s sneaky massive the GTA has a population of like 7 million people not to mention the raptors are the only Canadian nba team so that brings in even more fans from outside Toronto.
Jays fans (another sneaky big fanbase) do the same shit in the baseball sub.
Lol Toronto is 4th largest city in the nba market. Is it really a surprise the raptors have a large fanbase?
Cavs were heavily favoured by analyst and fans lol. Most thought it was going to be a sweep especially after going down 0-2 or Cavs in 5 or 6. No one thought this series was going 7 games
I mean in fairness a trailblazers flair posted this clip.
You think the Cavs weren’t heavily favored? Nobody was picking the Raptors before this series and even after we took it to 6 nobody was picking us to win this game either lol. The Cavs are the most expensive team in basketball against a team that missed the playoffs 3 years in a row and were down their starting PG the entire series and lost BI in the last 2 games, so tell me how were they not heavily favored????
Cavs were favored but like your team won, why would anyone be mad at all at fans having fun. Some of these guys gotta get off the internet go touch some grass.
(The Cavs were heavily favored.)
Because we beat them so many times. I don’t blame em
The cavs were heavily favoured. Even more favoured if you probably asked people that Ingram and IQ were gonna be out for the series
Because they boo’d our national anthem and showed off the Ohio education system with those USA chants
Yeah that’s real trashy for sure
Just like Canadians have booed the U.S. anthem across multiple sports the past several years. It is what it is
gee I wonder why that happened
Well in this case the Cavs won the series, but in the other case the U.S. also won the men and women Olympic gold medals in hockey
and the booing started well before all of that…do you know why?
c’mon, rub those two brain cells together fella you can do it
Because you guys care about our politics more than your own. Just elect another PM with a history of black face instead of crying to me buddy lmao
Might have something to do with the threats of genocide and annexation.
I fucking hate Reddit brained people so much lmfao you’re fine buddy. Jarrett Allen did more damage to Canada today than Trump ever would
I think you can make a distinction between fans of a team who’s country was actively being threated by annexation by the president of the overwhelmingly most poweful military in the world and fans of said country a year past when the tension has ended. Cavs deserved to win, but that shit is ignorant and beyond just sports. You don’t get to claim as an american that you know what its like to activately have to consider the possibility of losing your countrys sovereignty and then drunks fans of an opposing sport vocally supporting that at a playoff game after even the president had cooled it on that front.
Yeah, and then we started threatening to make you the 4th territory, put multiple tariffs on you and genuinely just shut on your country so you booing us is warranted
Wait…
Raptors fans have been insufferable all series. Used to think they were pretty chill, not sure what happened but they’ve just been awful as hell.
Raptors fans are always like this
God can you imagine if we had won! You’d be sick to your stomach!
If my team was heavy round 1 favourites and we won a tight series where our star players really didn’t perform, I would be relieved and then upset at the stars. Definitely not singing songs happy.
Aight man fine we promise to be miserable tomorrow 🤣
Nah I’d be chanting whatever if we won. Some of you guys forget what it means to win
Yeah, did Pistons fans sing?
Yeah, it’s literally posted on the sub. Y’all a bunch of babies
Welp, I’m an idiot.
This isn’t the MLB you’re allowed to pay players lol. Most of our extra money spent is on Mobley so does it even really count
Yeah I’m saying this isn’t the MLB bro. Saying you have a less paid roster is literally just a choice and timing of contract extensions lmao not a financial inability
He’s just mad they are paying Poeltl 100m LMAO
Every older NBA player gets “overpaid” that’s just how the contracts work lol idk
It’s ok to be happy about your team winning even when they’re favored big dawg
None of my comments denied the fact that we were favored, don’t carry over your salt at other commenters to me lil bro
You think when people go to a game they are thinking to themselves oh we spent more money on our players so maybe we shouldn’t be this happy when we win? Bruh it’s a basketball game people are there to have fun and support their team of course they are going to celebrate when they win a series. Honestly it’s not that deep
not sure what 2016-2018 has to do with this series and the Cavs being favourites but sure
It’s just weird to see the Cavs’ fans celebrating so hard when they really should’ve won the series in 4 or 5.
Insanely high-priced team with all-star talent against a young team missing two starters making its playoff debut with this core.
Dude stop crying it’s gonna be okay
Are we sure missing Ingram was a negative?
I mean…fair
Yes, Cavs packed the paint more without his gravity and put Wade on Barnes more
So celebrating winning a round one win in the playoffs and lightly mocking the other team is weird?? Not everything has to be that serious man. People are just having fun. What would be the point of going to the games specially in the playoffs if you are not going to celebrate wins specially at the end of the series.
I dunno, Raptors won a bunch of first-round series and the only mocking I can remember was Embiid (and Brooklyn, but boy did that backfire).
Sure but without a 1 in a million bounce, it would have been over in 6
Never should’ve been close, though. Your guys are gonna have to learn how to play on the road soon
Thanks for the tip. Congrats on keeping it close
I mean Brandon Ingram being out was probably a positive
I shedded a couple tears just for you, is that good enough?
the raptors swept the cavs in the regular season…
Shhh no tears
Flair up if you’re gonna shit talk, c’mon man. First day?
Let it all out man i’m here for you
If celebrating winning a round 1 series you’re favored in is weird, mocking another team for doing it while patting yourself on the back for keeping it respectably close is even weirder. Raptors did good, Cavs won, Cavs fans can be happy, Ohio has a bad education system, Ohio has the better basketball team tonight
I mean, they avoided a game 7 upset. They should be happy?
If I were a Cavs fan, would I feel good about my win-now team that almost lost to a team of mostly young guys that is also down 2 starters? No. But would I be relieved and super happy to win Game 7? Yes.
I’ve seen this in multiple closeout games this yr
It’s been a tradition for decades.
Seriously, this has been a thing in every sport for a long long time. We did this at high school basketball games 20 years ago lol.
What next? Are we going to get a post about the charge chant?
I thought for sure there’d be some Detroit chant but I’m glad we didn’t put that karma out there lmao
Cleveland: we’re not detroit!
They did country road too. Never understood the love of singing that song together
It’s the walk-up song of our new baseball star. That’s why that one was in there.
they played it at the target center during game 6 too
I dont think its much deeper than being a protypical American song (same reason NFL always plays it during their overseas games).
Listen I’m a Cavs fan. Live in Ohio. But the song is about West Virginia, not America. But it’s a good sing a long for people, that’s why they play it
Then you just don’t have friend’s. And its country roads take me home. I know you’re autistic but come on now don’t be stupid too.
Do you two have history???
post the video of them chanting US with 5 mins left
After I am done clipping the final moments.
Thanks 💛
I didn’t find it at the 5-minute mark (remaining) in the 4th quarter.
I think it could be heard on Allen’s flagrant clip from earlier.
They def did it twice
You are surprised home crowd is chanting USA? While they are playing a team from a different country? Honestly I don’t think it’s that deep. They are just celebrating a win man. Regardless it was a great series! You guys have a great team, better luck next year
You understand your country, the USA, has been threatening to annex Canada since yall elected your pedophile president?
There are sooo many problems and issues going on it’s hard to keep a count but this has nothing to do with that. At the end of the day this is just a basketball game man. People are there to have fun and watch their team do well. If you are going to associate everyone that’s cheering for a basketball team to that then that’s on you.
You literally just commented the same thing to the dude below me. This is problem with your country, you just want to sweep things under the rug and be distracted while other countries suffer the consequences.
Canadians feel the consequences of the constant tariffs and threats, the Middle East feels the consequences of constant tirades and bombings.
Also, they ain’t cheering a basketball team against ours, they’re not cheering Cavs, they’re cheering USA. They’re chanting their country over ours.
So? If the Habs make the Stanley Cup, better believe Canadians won’t let us hear the end of it. All this sports and patriotism should be separate stuff would go right out the window
Lmfao no one is “threatening to annex Canada” it’s shit talking
When did it become acceptable for nuclear nation to “shit-talk” their neighbour about annexation?
July 16, 1945
Celebrating nuclear holocaust. Classy.
It’s obnoxious, uncouth and ignorant. Why are you chanting that when Scottie Barnes, an American (!!!) is going to the free throw line? Why are you chanting it when Dennis Schröder, a German, is checking into the game?
During an Olympic or international event, have at it. But during a major league game where players from all teams have diverse ethnicities and backgrounds, it reinforces the stereotype that Americans are knuckle dragging Neanderthals.
You are surprised home crowd is chanting USA?
Yes. It’s dumb as fuck. What are they proud of right now? A child rapist in the white house? Illegal war? High gas prices?
And even with all those things one country is still better than the other
Listen man there are hundreds of problems issues that are going on. But at the end of the day this is just a basketball game man. People are there to have fun and watch their team do well. If you are going to associate everyone that’s cheering for a basketball team to that then that’s on you 🤷🏻
Its different when the president yall voted for constantly mocks Canada. Idk if you realized by toronto is in Canada. Its all good though yall only have one more serie, maybe two if you get lucky to chant before the lights get too bright
He’s mocked a lot of groups (including my ethnicity). Of all the groups he’s mocked, Canadians are the only ones to spend a year and a half crying about it
All those things are serious and bad, this is just a basketball game and some harmless trash talk
That’s literally it right there. We beat them in a sport and chanted USA.
Now their fans wanna come on the NBA sub and talk politics cause they’re fuckin salty.
There is a lot of salt from fans who lost game 7, which is to be expected, but don’t underestimate how Trump actually tanked this relationship.
No, it’s not about being salty about this game. I’m sad we lost, but it was expected and I’m proud of the team. The goodbye song is cool, fans deserve to do that. The USA chant when almost all Raptors players are American just sucks for them. If you can’t see how fucking stupid you look to the rest of the world when you do that, that’s on you.
You beat a bunch of Americans lmao. It’s almost as stupid as chanting USA at a hockey game when the players on the ice consist of 2/3rds Canadians, 1⁄4 Europeans, and remainder Americans. Americans chanting at Americans about being American because they won is odd
I hear you but gas prices are soooo much lower in the US than in Canada. Spoiled Americans should still be thrilled with their subsidized gas prices to be honest
Dude, it’s not that serious.
You’re mad 😂🤣😂😘
Yes I am. The American government has been making life worse for most people in the world, and there are dumbfucks chanting USA like they proud of the country
Do you really expect the people who voted for a pedo to understand? These guys voted for 8 years of Donnie, most of them are very uneducated. (Im canadian before yall come at me with the Oklahoma education jokes)
If you were actually educated or informed you’d know only 33% of the population of America voted for him. Far from “most”.
I am an avid hater of Trump and proud liberal and I think you sound like a whiney bitch rn. What are you even whining about anyways? You have one canadian team and your flair is set to the biggest bandwagon american team 💀
Not a single Cavs fan I know (nor a single person I know in general) is proud of our country. There seems to be a misconception from Canadians in regards to that.
Ok I’m going to stop trolling for this comment. I’m sorry to hear that, basketball is nothing. Having faith in Jesus Christ is everything. I hope you have a relationship with him or start one. He’s my best friend, and he loves you
you make a serious reply to plug Jesus lmao, lots of people with absolutely miserable lives full of suffering have tons of faith in Jesus, that shit absolutely is not everything. Also doesn’t help when this admin and its supporters hide behind religion while causing millions to suffer and are pushing Christian nationalist bullshit which completely goes against what Jesus was really about.
Romans 8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
You see it is as hiding but I’m being open about because the kingdom of heaven isn’t a secret, yes I troll but when it’s time to be serious I’m locked in and ready, do you know any Christian that is miserable in their suffering? Their are Christians being beheaded right now in Nigeria do you think their faith is wavering, the answer is no
You are a clown
Raptors fans are so mad in the comments 😂😂😂 about to turn into temporary Cade fans for the next series
Bet you’re fun at parties. It’s a Canadian team. Nobody there cares about the trivia you looked up.
Isn’t this like a common thing?
The Cavs score in gold looks sick
I’m a day one diehard Raptors fan. I think any fanbase would do the same thing as the Cavs fanbase. We also completely deserved that. We absolutely fumbled that game and Allen had an incredible 2nd half. They have such a talented team. I’m very happy for the Cavs and their fans ❤️Cleveland must be going crazy tonight
It’s okay, the pistons will have their moment with them!!!! 🤭
The ones that needed 7 games with Orlando?
I promise we aren’t scared
Diabolical
The Cavs should’ve won in 4 if we’re being honest I’m not sure how that’s luck. They didn’t play well on the road after going up 0-2. Detroit won’t be easy
Your moral victories are corny sybau
I don’t like Ohio’s politics either, but you dorks do realize that you get bullied because you react like this, right?
Just take the L
Let it all out lil bro
Man they were afraid of us without two starters huh
Haha this really triggered them, they reallyyyyy hate how hard this was for them lol
Cry about it
You guys are getting bounced shortly. The cracks are showing
I mean yall juat got bounced so….
Fair enough
Sorry I just can’t imagine feeling this good about beating a lower seed in 7 games without all their guys. Act like you’ve been there before, you know?
Beating the raptors in the playoffs? Yeah we’ve been there before
many times in fact.
You can’t imagine feeling good about winning a game 7 and celebrating?
Not as good as you guys feel! You didn’t even think it would go this long after 2-0 but your guys kept slipping
This honestly may be more mellow than any other series win celebration I’ve ever seen, I know your team just lost but I’m not sure complaining that the home crowd is singing is reasonable
I know it’s super common but I honestly have always felt this particular song is pretty classless when people do it. No one likes a sneering, gloating winner which is what it always seems like.
I guess, it’s not like I was singing it at home or anything. But I think when you’re looking at the context of a home game 7 stuff like that is going to happen.
What’s worse is a sore loser imo
LeBron left 6 years ago and Cavs still own you seethe
It’s all good we’re gonna trade for Mitchell after you guys get bounced in the second round
You were literally a seed below..
Not really lol.
I don’t understand this logic at all. I am not trying to be rude but I am genuinely curious have you ever been to a basketball game? Specially like a playoffs game? Home crowd celebrating a win this way is pretty normal.
I’ve cheered this hard for an underdog
