Toronto w/ Kawhi vs Lakers

[RaptorPride]

Toronto probably doesn't even sniff a 5th game in last year's finals if not for Golden State's injuries. Talk about asterisk.

Lakers in 4/5.

Sorry but that Toronto team wasn't even that good. Good enough to win the East but got lucky facing a Lakers team w/o Durant or Klay.

They would have no shot against a team with LeBron & AD.

Especially since Siakiam has been exposed.

Come on man when GSW swept portland with out KD everyone was talking about how Raptors had no chance. Look at Klay's minutes.
Game 1: 39:19 min
Game 2: 32:08 min
Game 3: DNP
Game 4: 42:10 min
Game 5: 42:29 min
Game 6: 31:59 min

Everyone complains about superteams but when one MVP goes out it's not fair. It's not like there was another mvp level player on that team or is Curry just another allstar?. The Raptors never even had a lottery pick on the roster. Kawhi, Lowry and a bunch of gleaguers.

If Klay doesn't get hurt Game 6 they win that game and I'm taking the Warriors in a Game 7. Raptors lucked out.

Don't forget GSW was down 3-1 and forced KD to rush back cause they were too scared of losing. Easily could have been a sweep if Raptors closed out game 2. They only lost by 5 points.

The two wins GSW had were won by 5 points in Game 2 and 1 point in Game 5. The Raptor wins. Game 1 - 9pts, Game 3 - 14 pts, Game 4 - 13 pts, the only close one was game 6 winning by 4 pts.

Raptors could have easily finished this in a sweep or 5 games.

Lakers, the moment the Raptors see LeBron stepping onto the hardwood it's BBQ chicken.

tor and por
putty in lebron's hands

Raptors won 11 straight games against the Lakers and Lebron is win-less against coach Nurse....there's no putty unless Casey & Demar miraculously return

You're comparing close games to an injury?

Curry had literally no offensive help once Klay got hurt. That lineup was garbage.

Two of best 3 point shooters in history were lucky?

You know what was actually lucky? Kawhi's shot v Philly. Luckiest shot I've ever seen in my life.

What happened in game 1 and game 4 then? lost by 9pts and 13pts

Why couldn't Draymond stop Siakam? Since he's been exposed this season?

Curry and Kawhi cancel each other out since they both MVP level players. You really need that much help against a team with no lottery picks and a bunch of g leaguers? And choke master Lowry? I still don't get why people keep making excuses for the Warriors. They got out coached and outplayed.

If you want to talk injuries talk about Kawhi playing on one leg after getting injured vs the bucks and Lowry's left hand which he had to take shots before every game just to get his hand numb so he could play through the pain. Then he literally had surgery right after the finals.

so lucky that it happened twice in the same season

and Warriors are lucky that series didn't end in 5 games...without KD the Raptors were a tier above the Klay/Curry/Draymond trio, that's why KD was rushed back, they knew it was over without him

KD had 11 points in 12 minutes in game 5, without that boost I'm 90% sure they lose that game....but hey keep dreaming about the KD-less Warriors winning in 7 games

Lakers losing one game doesn't negate the fact that they'd still demolish this team. So Lebron and AD played terrible.

That 2019 Raptors team is only a legend in the mind of Raptor fans.

You're definitely a Raptors hater. Literally everything related to them you criticize and troll. Meanwhile the Lakers and your idol LeBron that you pump up have no clue of your existence.

I mean you're entitled to your opinion that the Lakers would demolish them but you could have said that without being ignorant, it's not that hard.

Nice try but I don't even remember the last time I posted on a Raptors related thread. Must have been a month ago. Anyway, I'll try to heed the advice on the second part.

[NiL8r87]

This is a league of matchups this year because of the skill parity. Boston was a bad matchup for Toronto because of their superior wingd. The Lakers are a bad matchup for Miami because of their length. Toronto has been a bad matchup for the Lakers this year and Kawhi wouldve made it even worse because theyve been able to guard AD 1 on 1 and they have the defence advantage.

Game 1 & 4 they lost. Game 2 & 5 they won. But they didn't have a real chance in Game 3 or 6 once Klay went out.

We can't know for sure what would have happened. But its pretty obvious they win Game 6 with a lead and Klay playing out of his mind. I think they probably win Game 3 too.

Its was a bad roster revolving around 3 great players. When you lost two of them its over.

LOL the Philly shot was way luckier than that Blazers one.

You didn't play the Warriors with Klay + Curry. You beat them Game 1 & 4. You lost to them 2 & 5. 3 & 6 Klay got hurt.

If he doesn't the Warriors would have won. They were the better team. We saw the Raptors & Kawhi both exposed this season for a reason.

Raptors stay losing in the 2nd round to a lower seed w/o Hayward & Kawhi doesn't always get lucky.

Damn your posts reek of nothing but insecurity and hate. You must be hurt that we sweeped you're team. You're definitely watching to much ESPN to post stuff this dumb. Keep up that same energy when your team implodes with nutjob Kyrie

We still the champs

You're seriously bragging about sweeping the Nets w/o Kyrie, KD, Dinwiddie, and Jordan?

Of course you have to make it about the Nets because you know I'm right.

I'm not taking anything away from the Raptors winning a title. I just think there is no way they beat the Lakers this year. Sorry.

Some teams get lucky. I wish my Nets could have faced an injured team in the Finals and won.

You totally are and that's clearly your intent. It's pretty obvious so don't try to downplay it now. Your main concern should be on your franchise getting out of the first round before having any grand wishes on getting to the finals before hurling insults at franchises that have actually won a championship. It's petty and it shows your insecurities by deflecting them at the expense of the success of others.

[stinger14]

Raptors easily sweep them.

[Fairview4Life]

Last year's Sixers and Bucks were both good enough too. Hell this year's Bucks, Clippers, Rockets, Heat and Celtics were probably all good enough.

And yet here we are with Lebron (probably) about to win again.

It's sad how you guys can't have a rational discussion without resorting to attacks against the team I root for.

I'm allowed to have an opinion on how good the Raptors were last year. They played a hobbled Warriors team last year and thats just a fact. A lot of people in media agree with me and I've heard others say it several teams.

This discussion has nothing to do with the Nets.

[CIN-C-STAR]

Last season Raps were a better team imo. Better depth and versatility, and better coaching.
Lakers have the 2 best players, but I'd take the better team.
It's a moot point though because Danny Green guarding Danny Green would cause a rift in the space-time continuum that would cause the unraveling of existence as we know it

Sorry but not sorry. Your takes are awful and you're very inconsistent so you have it coming just like we too are allowed our own opinions of the team you root for. They aren't attacks, just facts.

One minute you're saying the Raptors championship is an asterisk, the next you're claiming you're not taking anything away from the Raptors winning a title. Stick to your slant and stop flip flopping. You're not rational as you claim to be, I mean you just sound very bitter. Your whole argument is that the Raptors were lucky last year and would get destroyed by the Lakers, not exactly a lot of room for discussion with a close minded take like that. Anyways, too bad for you, they don't give out asterisks for championships.
