The Cavaliers completed their sweep of the Raptors on Sunday in front of rap superstar Drake. And of course, Twitter was not merciful.

The Cavaliers obviously did not care at all about the Raptors’ acquisitions of Serge Ibaka and P.J. Tucker. And why would they? LeBron James still wears a wine and gold uniform. But, this wasn’t just your average LeBron. It was playoff LeBron. When you consider Cleveland’s dominance over Toronto, perhaps we’ve been misled who the real “6 God” is.

The kid from Akron, Ohio averaged 36 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in this series. LeBron made it look easy while shooting 57.3 percent from the field. But in Game 4, it was Kyrie Irving who scored 11 straight points during a stretch in the final quarter to send Toronto on summer vacation.

Now let’s see how Twitter eulogized the Raptors for a “good effort.”
