    No one expects them to beat the Warriors. The more important question is, whether Kawhi will stay in Toronto. If he can get to the Finals he probably will.

    Since Bucks play similiar(predictable stagnant offense) to Rockets with slightly worse offensive superstar but superior cast around him and Toronto is defensively good(in personel and coaching), they already broke down their system and seems like they put their clamps on Bucks for two games in a row now. This might be going to 7. And from what i read Durant might be back in g6... we have 3 pretendents right now

    Bucks offense is far from stagnant and they had one of the highest paces in the league. They play a simple inside out scheme that requires good 3pt shooting to open up the middle for Giannis to operate;

    Instead, Raptors are reaping the rewards of pushing the pace which puts the Bucks big men at a disadvantage and also lowers their shooting accuracy. This has allowed Raptors to get away with walling the paint and letting Bucks shoot uncontested 3s. Anytime the game slowed, Buck were able to cut into the lead.

    The question is if the Raptors can keep up the pace playing in Milwaukee where they wont have the home crowd energy to feed off. Raptors still need at least one win on the road to have a chance to advance.

    Harden is great, it's not really a knock on him that Kawhi is just playing otherworldly basketball during the playoffs... 31.2 ppg on 52/39/89 splits, tons of clutch shots AND good defense. Swap Kawhi with DeRozan and the Raptors are probably losing in the first round against the Magic. Man, they better hope Kawhi stays. Otherwise, they'll dive right back into being irrelevant. Pascal Siakam is decent piece, but nowhere near a superstar.

    Too bad Kawhi cannot play every game.......the risk is you dun know when he is back and will he be ready for the playoffs every year?

    Toronto is still going with it, they have no other choice.
