Klay is better by a significant margin imo

yup, man green will be key .if he cant find his game, we are in trouble. his height/defense can atleast help us defend the splash bros.

Klay's probably better at hounding guards, but Middleton is more adept at defending wings like Kawhi because of his length. I'm expecting to see Klay on Lowry most of the time, while Iggy/Draymond/Durant take on Kawhi.

Cant believe I am seeing a Raptors NBA finals thread. Feels good

We can beat them - for years now we have played them very tough, and have gone 2-0 this year against them so far. We have had the toughest path to the finals by far beating the hottest team in the league, then the best starting 5, and then the number 1 team. We are battle tested and will be ready

Kind crazy that Curry/KD will be playing someone else in the finals other than LBJ for a change, and that their new opponent is TOR

Also, I'm glad TOR is going against this superteam. Literally a win-win situation, there's no pressure.

Who is going to be the primary defender on Kawhi guys? Andre Iguodola? Do you think Iggy can shut down Kawhi? Kawhi and him have similar frames. Does Iggy's strength match Kawhis? Or does Kawhi still outdo him in terms of strength?

I've been on cloud 9 all day

I feel like this is a dream to say raptors and finals in the same sentence

after all the tears if misery, we made it

please please dethrone the warriors they are an arrogant bunch somebody's gotta stop them

we will need one hell of a spirit bomb to do it

the only thing I didn't like about the second video was Blake Griffin about to throw a poster on Olajuwon. They're not even in the same cosmos as to who's the better player.

Still finding this all hard to believe as I floated from the arena until I somehow got to Queen Street and found a subway early Sunday morning....but it is happening....

On that note - has any mention been made yet of opening up the Scotiabank Arena for the games in GS (this is usually a pretty common thing that teams do in Finals) - there appears to be nothing booked on those nights and it would be awesome to watch with 20,000 inside making noise.....charge a nominal amount for tickets ($5-$10 and donate it to charity), and fill the place up for a few nights -- I'm sure concession sales could pay for the staffing and such for the building -- MLSE can afford the gesture either way......Jurassic indoors and Jurassic outdoors.....

I think they could sell tickets at Tier 5 pricing and sell out.
