    Kawhi and Siakim showed out Game 1 for 73 points combined. Their teammates shot 30% FG.

    Series isn't over, but PHI has underachieved the past two postseasons.

    Of course they are, when refs ignore landing under shooter 4x in one game.

    Raptors look like a one-man team now. Nobody steps up outside of Leonard.

    Jimmy Butler is doing the exact same thing Harden does with his jumpshot but you don’t see the whole NBA Twitter losing their mind. He even got a call for a 4 point play in the first half.

    Kawhi man...I really wish he wasn't so set on LA...him and Harden could dominate the NBA for the next 5 years.

    You also don't see guys running into him.

    A lot of players do it actually, it's called a sway. When people say that Harden is moving forward to draw contact just realize that they've never played basketball and have no idea what they are talking about and are probably fans that just tune in for the playoffs.

    EDIT: Lowry also did it...feet start off behind the line and end up in front of it.

    Lul Butler has these kind of games in every 10 games.

    While Paul George has this every 2 or 3 games.

    If Lowry and Green can make some wide open shots it would have been 2-0.
