embarrassing they were dominant all season only to choke when it matters.

lol they didn't choke. lazy reductive takes as always. they had major injury issues crop up with their two guards. injury luck is a big part of every playoffs including when we won. hali was playing like ass for like 18 months himself dealing with a nagging injury and he's playing great now that he's finally healthy.


Mitchell was gifted one million free throws, and had 35 points....it's not like he was out of this game...

My time here on realgm has taught me one thing. The realgm raptors "experts" are always wrong. Whatever they say, you do the complete opposite if you want to see success for our team.

Love that hes Canadian and all but SGA is playing like garbage, I'd love to be proven wrong but it just doesn't seem like his game translates well in the playoffs, I'll take Antman over him when the games matter.

Hes playing fine...Hes avrg 28,7,7 in the playoffs so far....His percentages maybe up and down but he is also playing arguably the 2nd best team in the league and in these playoffs...

Haliburton is incredible when he’s aggressive.

They’ll go as far as he goes.

His numbers might be good but just watching the games Edwards relies less on the FTs to get their game going.

Seems like Westbrook always gets 3 to 4 incredibly athletic and timely rebounds per game. Almost reminds me of Rodman.

It's really interesting to watch him and Caruso thrive in certain intangibles for their respective teams. I guess the Knicks version of that is Josh hart. For the wolves it's Naz Reid. Every team needs a guy like that for 20ish milly per year. Fred was that same archetype during our chip run..

I wonder which raptor prospect could fill that role for us going forward. Possibly Mogbo? Possibly shead?

There's been times during this series that I find Caruso more impact full than jdub and chet. He's just a great contributor to winning.

Yep. Also, Raps could have drafted him but traded for Thad Young's leadership instead. Oh man.
