before game 1 of the Raptors-Bucks series the realgm poll was favouring the Bucks, at least one single option (I don't remember if by aggregate too)
Now one of the options favouring the Raptors is leading the poll against the Warriors before game 1

either the Raptors fans flooded the general board (and they forgot to do it 2 weeks ago) or the collective hate vs the Warriors is being felt

To be fair, plenty of people thought the bucks could take the warriors, so after beating the bucks convincingly it probably makes sense that more people would think the raps could best the warriors too.

Lowry matches up with Steph great. You'll be surprised.

How many games before Serge and Draymond get into it?

[quote][Ibaka 6'10" height, 7'3" wingspan, 235lbs
Siakam 6'9" height, 7'3" wingspan, 230lbs
Looney 6'9" height, 7'3" wingspan, 220lbs

Take your pick of whichever smallball center fits the bill for you./quote]

Looney can't do anything within a couple feet of the basket and that's Gasol's area

Siakam will shoot 3's and drive from hoop to hoop
Ibaka has a 3 pt game and a midrange game
both can do more with the ball than Looney can

I would like to think that with possibly no Durant, home-court and Leonard the Raptors might have a chance.

He matched up well with Embid and Middleton too, anyone who sells Lowry short hasn't been paying attention.

Line just went to even, Raps were 2 point dogs against the Bucks at home.

Who's the champ?
