There is plenty of blame to go around for the Toronto Raptors after getting swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers, but when you boil it down, the two franchise players are at fault. DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry struggled mightily on the biggest stage yet again. Paul Pierce believes the bulk of the blame should be put on them.

“One slice of the blame belongs to DeMar DeRozan.”

“Show me some type of resistant…it seems like they quit… These two All-Stars can’t get one game?”

The number one seed in the East could not win a game in the second round and there likely will be a different direction moving forward in Toronto.
