If the Warriors are anywhere close to table, they probably sweep the Raptors. Might take five games.

Main problem is Lowry always struggles in the playoffs. For as much grief as DeRozan got, Lowry choked as much if not more. The other problem is that depth doesn't matter nearly as much in the playoffs. Their depth helps them win regular season games but depth doesn't win high level playoff series.

Given the Raptors reliance on Lowry and depth, I don't think they should be the favorites to come out of the East, tbh.

You make a good point. I think having home court might help them

Their lack of a #2 and 3-point shooting will prevent them from winning the le, but I still like them to win the East..they match up well against Philly and Boston..Milwaukee matches up well, but they just don't have any talent outside of their top 2 and occasionally Bledsoe..

Lowry is an elite #3, but he's not a natural #2 guy, he doesn't have the penetration to negate his lack of size..

Green is shooting 44% from 3, but the rest of their high-volume shooters are frighteningly bad..Kawhi 33%, Lowry 35%, Ibaka 29%, FVV 31%, OG 32%, Miles 28%..damn..

Kawhiso continues to take over and now fans blame teammates. He's very ball dominant. Had 3 unforced TO bc he doesn't pass the ball. They weren't TO of the bad pass kind. They were TO of the I lost my handle bc I am getting this double team and I don't want to pass kind or I am going to flop kind. He goes to the Clippers he probably ends their egalitarian offense and passing.

He was perfect for the Spurs bc Pop likes post up and I so a lot... Oh well.

Move on

[TD 21]

Typical Raptors with their woe is me, everyone is out to get us because we're the lone Canadian team, nonsense. They're the only franchise in sports that's apparently never lost a game because it was always the refs conspiring against them.

I agree the final call was bad (even though it was absolutely a foul, holding and pushing occurs on every ATO play, especially with the game on the line), but so too was Siakam blatantly traveling a few plays before that and the refs ignoring it because Nurse pretended to get mad about Valanciunas blatantly undercutting Beasley previously.

[bic50]

Kawhi won finals MVP at age 23 in part by playing in one of the most stacked teams of all-time. Not many players get that chance, so I think he's just fine in the "deserving" category. Specially after being such a monumental to the franchise that gave him that opportunity.

How was that team stacked? Wasn't Duncan the only all star that season?

[bic50]

Now that Nephew is in Toronto, He es more about the non ref calls than he did when he was in SA.

him anyway.

Not true

[bic50]

I've tried to be happy for Kawhi, watch him play or his highlights... I just cant do it. That quit on us! I cant get pasted that. I pray be breaks his leg.

Now watch as one our own breaks their leg. Smh

How was that team stacked? ...

I can't believe you'd question that. Bonner was on the team then! We also had Jeff Ayres, and Austin Daye. We were loaded.

[DAF86]

How was that team stacked? Wasn't Duncan the only all star that season?

That was arguably the deepest team ever. That team was a choke away from beating the defending champions on a B2B on the road without it's 4 or 5 best players. That team could go 12 men deep and had at least 9 guys who were above average rotation guys. That team was stacked as .

Perfect example of lack of basic reading comprehension.

Of course not, but he's damn sure not in '15-'17, supposed top 3 player form.

Riding the TD´s and company for 6 years and now in the East without Lebron.
Also, Raymond? who made that list? LkrFan?

Meanwhile..spurs .400

[RC_Drunkford]

Kawhi averages the same numbers like in his MVP year. He even gets about 3 rebounds more per game and shoots slightly worse from 3 (33%). Still pretty close to his MVP outing tbh

[Rusty]

Meanwhile..spurs .400

[SpurPadre]

And the ing re still wanted to leave. Ingrate ass mother er...the Big 3 is the main reason why his win percentage is so high.
