Why did Danny only take 1 shot all game...

Just simply amazing. What a moment.

Like few others have said, I'm going to be cheering for Kawhi Leonard wherever he plays basketball after this even if its not Toronto.

Just blessed to be a witness of this era.

This Klaw/Greek Freak confrontation is one for the ages.
It's like a blockbuster movie man can't wait.

Greatest shot in raptors history. I fell off the couch stunned. That being said. We absolutely blitzed them at start of game and only got a 6-0 lead. Should have been 15-0. Siakam looked scared to take open shots. Gasol only made a few. Lowry banged up but he balled at hustle plays and rebounds. Green again 2 points? We can’t beat the bucks or gsw with raptors offense showing up 2 games in a series. Was Philly that good defensively? Or we just missing and not being confident. Charles Barkley said it looked like raptors players were scared everyone except kawhi to shoot. Our defense has been elite. No doubt best in league. Kawhi was on butler all night and he turned butler into having a bad game except for a couple huge shots he made fading away in 4th. I would love to have butler along kawhi and siakam next year. Defense has been great. It’s all about confidence. When the pressure is high our team is not taking shots with confidence. Shout out to Reddick. He’s not the greatest defender but when he had an ounce of daylight he hit big shots all series. We need green and Lowry to be like that. The level of difficulty Reddick was hitting 3s compared to ours. And lastly fvv did good this game. Lastly, Ibaka had a beast of a game. Rebounding and hitting big shots. This series was a roller coaster but fun. Hopefully we get a rusty bucks who haven’t played in week. Steal the first game and start hitting shots. Legendary shot by kawhi.

Funny how at the begining of the season many experts were saying Kawhi would not accept playing here, he wouldnt report, etc.

Here he is closing an epic sports moment putting it all on the court. What an great moment and what a great guy.

The refs had to reprimand him yet again before that shot

Some random thoughts...

1) It's crazy that at the start of the season we all wanted Jimmy Butler badly almost more then any fanbase.
Most fans were willing to move Lowry, Siakam or OG in some sort of package. Then we end up shutting him
down this series for the most part and end up besting him on a buzzer beater

2) I wonder how Greg Monroe and Amir Johnson are feeling today?

3) That hug Herbie Kuhn gave Ibaka at the end of the game when everyone was going cray cray got me man

4) I can't believe we won the series without OG and basically only 6 guys contributing

5) Glad we unleashed the death lineup of...

Lowry
Kawhi
Siakam
Ibaka
Gasol

At the end and it worked

6) The Defense the Raptors played was about as good as you'll ever see

16 offensive rebounds. Smothering team defense. Props to the sixers for putting up a tough fight all series. They played to their strengths and forced the Raptors to adjust all series.

Kawhi leaves me speechless. Best player in the league.

Kyle with Black Thumb Brace. Game changing play after game changing play. 2 offensive rebounds, 2 steals, 1 charge drawn, 5 deflections. His few buckets were big buckets.

Serge coming up big. Team leading +17, 4 OREB. We just needed one shooter outside of Kawhi hitting and Serge came through.

Marc shutting down Embiid and shooting without hesitation which he needs to keep doing. He will have better shooting next series without Embiid to worry about on offense or defense.

Fred was not completely useless which is encouraging and good for his confidence. He was still shooting scared and their length was bothering him again but he kept attacking and it made things happen. His defense on Reddick and overall was impressive. 2 steals, 1 OREB. The Bucks are still long but not as long as philly and play a style more suited to his strengths.

If this shot happened in a movie, we would complain it's too unrealistic and cliche

Aside from Kawhi, all the Kyle Lowry haters need to stfu. He was incredible, saved multiple possessions with insane offensive rebounds and got some key steals.

And after all the jokes we made about Ibaka, the showed the F up today. Yea he hit some lucky threes but his offensive rebounding was just as key to the win as Kawhi's shot.

Return to Toronto Raptors
