use our exceptions on serviceable players (not like Boogie this year, which was essentially a wasted exception), get players that can contribute immediately with our draft picks, get vet min players that are not Jonas **** Jerebko

They don't have a championship on their resume.


I don't know what that means, since they obviously do have championships on their resume and have rings for being on title teams.


For some reason it doesn't show that they won an NBA championship on their BBALLReference page.
That's what I meant.

History shows us that the Raptors are a championship winning team! We have seen the 2018-19 Raptors before in another form, the Chicago Bulls.

King Kawhi the Sensational KLaw = MJ/Pippen
Pascal = Pippen/Horace Grant
Gasol = Bill Cartwright/Luc Longley
Lowry = BJ Armstrong/Ron Harper
Ibaka = Horace Grant/John Salley
VanVleet = John Paxson/Steve Kerr
Green = Ron Harper/Craig Hodges

This insight is true, my friends. You know what it is.
Equanimity, peace, harmony and conscientiousness, friends

There's never really been a variable like this, so I can imagine there's some caution. I still think it's really unlikely, not only do the Raptors have home court but they've beaten the Warriors 2X with KD. Golden State's defense just isn't very good, and that includes a year long sample with Durant (and 10 playoff games). At some point in any of the next three games, the smart players on the Raptors would break through, or Kawhi would steal a win on his own.


Curry wasn't playing in that game I believe


Yup, Curry didn't play in one, Kawhi didn't play in the other. I think the point is the Raptors won't lack confidence that they can beat a fully healthy Warriors squad. The Warriors will also be fully confident, but they have less margin for error the rest of the way through. A bad run at the wrong time ends their season in any of the next three potential games.

But how are you gonna revamp when KD is leaving and you don't have a max spot to fill his role? (Could be wrong but believe you lose max spot)

Does anyone actually have a video clip of Durant running or at least jogging?

i have 0 faith, and haven't had a lot of the majority of the year, our depth is completely shot, I don't trust in Kerr's in-game adjustments, our players are tired, and defensively we've been poor the entire season.
