Cleveland Cavaliers dribbles the ball as DeMar DeRozan defends.

The NBA playoffs usually see fans getting creative in the Photoshop department, and this time the entire city of Toronto is on the receiving end of slanderous graphic design. In last night's matchup against the Raptors, LeBron James scored an impressive 43 points and led the Cavaliers to a win 128-110 win that puts them in a 2-0 series advantage. During James' conquest, ESPN announcer (and Toronto native) Mark Jones coined a new name for Toronto at the end of the third quarter: Lebronto. 

And that became the calling card for a new set of memes and jokes. Drake, the team's global ambassador, sat courtside at the game looking especially somber and much less talkative than usual—so he was an easy target. Fans have already been using the rapper's own lyrics against him, flipping the "you know me, turn the O2 into the O3, dog" line from "God's Plan" to add more salt to the wound.

With the next two games happening in Cleveland, it's very possible that the Raptors will get swept thanks to LeBron—again. Nobody said being a Raptors fan was easy. Check out some of the best (or worst, if you're from Toronto) jokes below.
