    They beat Buck cos Bucks couldnt adjust to the glaring weakness that was being exploited. Or was it not the same Raptors that squeaked past Philly on a lucky bounce in a Game 7 at home?

    With a full strength GS, what do you want to exploit? Hunt curry? Raptor were able to get away with doubling or even tripling Klay and Curry, while leaving everyone else open. With KD, unless they play 6 men on the court, its not happening. If KD was available, Kawhi would have had to work his behind off on defense and would have less energy on the offensive end.

    What we saw in the brief minutes that KD played, is what the series would have looked like. Raptors would simply have been overwhelmed, which is what has happened to even better teams when up against KD warriors (or do you think this Raptor would have beaten Lebron+Kyrie+Love Cavs?).

    That this series went to 6 games with all the injuries GS had, shows Raptors would have lost if everyone except KD were healthy (healthy GS wouldnt lose Games 3, 4 and 6), and Raptors would have at best won 1 game if GS was full strength.

    No NBA team recently or currently constructed can beat a full strength GSW in a 7 game series. They are just over-stacked.

    Raptors has top center Gasol, good defender Ibaka, good guards Lowry, good sf Kawhi, strong power forward who can shoot 20 plus and a good bench. No money no champion
