    Toronto won’t even beat Milwaukee or Indiana in a 7 game series. Much less challenge Boston or GS.

      [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849] this is gonna get so old with y'all being in denial that this ain't the same Raptors team. Not sure if you guys have heard but Kawhi is pretty good and kind of a huge difference maker.

      Unless you're being sarcastic. If so then bravo, you got me.

        KD is great and all, but Steph is the most valuable player on their team. It would also hurt them worse to lose Steph, considering Steph is a better passer and his movement off ball in light years better than KD. His and Klay’s movement off ball is a large part of all the easy shots they get as a team, it gets defenses off balance without them ever even touching the ball. KD is all world isolation scorer, maybe even the best ever, but his game definitely translates less to his teammates than Curry’s.

        It would hurt then to lose KD’s length defensively, especially since they love to go small. But we have saw them be a top 1-5 defensive team without him already. I think losing KD they are still favorites to win it all, losing Curry maybe not clear cut favorites.

          I’m not calling them the same team. I was on your side of that argument whenever you were here making it a few days back.. I just don’t think they are as good as either of those teams.

            Indiana?? Toronto has a better starting 5 and a better bench.

              I'm probably just being paranoid, but I feel like if the Lakers lose to the Mavericks tonight, Luke might get fired.

              Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

              Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                Every last one of those teams in the east has question marks. Kawhi and Danny Green bring a different dynamic to the team but its still the Raptors and some new head coach....

                  But nah seriously, they do look good and they do look different, but as we've been through before until they prove otherwise when it matters, this is just something they're going to have to live with. Shutting us all up will be that much sweeter for them if they actually make it to the Finals.

                    I don’t agree with that. I also think Indiana’s players and coaching fit very well together as we saw last year. But we’ll see I guess.

                    I definitely like some of Toronto’s role pieces like Green, VanVleet, but I don’t really expect anything substantial in the playoffs from Ibaka, Siakam, OG, Miles come playoff time. I would expect Turner, Bojan, Thad, Evans to give more in playoff games. And Toronto still doesn’t utilize JV enough.

                    Kawhi and Green definitely adds to Toronto but this is by far the most isolation ball I’ve ever seen from Kawhi which I don’t love for this team, he is starting off extremely efficient though. Lowry is definitely off to a great start. He seems to have a great balance of scoring, passing, defense, without shifting too far to any one role.

                    Toronto’s season will go as far as the defense Lowry, Green, Kawhi, OG, Ibaka can provide. If they are elite in the playoffs on that end they have a good chance, but offensively they are still full of wildly inconsistent players top to bottom and a version of Kawhi who looks like he spent his entire season off playing 1-on-1 with Kobe.

                      I don't like Van Vleet. While he's not afraid to take a shot or whatever, he looks like one of those guys who think he's better than what he really is.

                          I can't believe Rose has 33+ points and we're still winning somehow

                              Feels so good to see Rose balling out like this again.
