I'm not sure anyone has said that the Raptors will lose this series because of some conspiracy or because of bad officiating. They certainly complained about bad officiating in this game. Anyone can speak up if I'm wrong, but I doubt anyone here thinks the Raptors are a better team than the Bucks, and that's why the Bucks will win.
Also, while they haven't been favourites or anything, until the second round I thought they had a shot. Then two things happened: the team outside of Kawhi demonstrated mental weakness and an unwillingness to step up in big moments, and the Bucks / Celtics series showed just how good the Bucks really are. Neither of those things were for sure going into the playoffs, IMO.
