    I've noticed that Danny Green is much better than his cousin Gerald.

    Klay is an elite shooter and a good defender, nothing more. He’s never going to be the man on a team because he can’t create for others.

    It’s the Tillman brigade of the GARM. They move the goal posts more than the D&D assholes

    being honest we probably werent even a top 3 team this year. raptors would have been just as hard of a match up and bucks would have been a disaster

    It is much easier for Raptors' frontcourt (Gasol/Siakam) to work without those crazy long arms of Embiid and Giannis

    There are lots of factors why Rox lost to the Warriors and while Raptors are beating the Warriors:

    1. Coaching. Dumbtoni went ultra small ball when the correct answer is go big. Kevon Looney is a scrub but was able to make an impact cuz he was figjting guys half a foot shorter than him. Nick Nurse oth put Gasol and Siakam in the lineup and they are owning the GSW frontcourt. If Dumbtoni pkayed Nene and Tucker frontcourt its possible the Rox dont lose.

    2. Choking. Capela, Cp3 and Harden massively choked while Siakam and Kawhi aren't chokers. No matter how well you try build a team its all in theory and can't make up for the fact that some players choke.

    3. Talent. Raptors just have more talent I mean in terms of all stars they have 3 to Rox's 1, that makes it a more even matchup vs the Warriors who ONLY have 3 all stars this time instead of 5.

    Things like matchups make a lot more sense when the team talent level is even, in the Rox's they are behind in every single facet from talent to coaching to teamwork, skills and even chemistry so no matter how much Morey tries they still lpse to GSW in like what? 4-5 times by now lol
