Philly and Milwaukee were both among the best offensive teams in the league this year lol
I don’t think that will be the reason Toronto will lose this series.

That’s all it is.
Steph is going to average over 30ppg. When he does that. The Warriors don’t lose. Very simple concept we’re about to see play out.
And that’s not a knock on Toronto. They just dealing with something different here.

Philly and Milwaukee had very noticeable weaknesses that anybody could spot. And they aren't the Warriors. Nobody lights it up like they do.

We going to act like we haven't seen Steph and Klay go cold for long stretches? Like basically the 1st entire 2 rds? Or for most of the 2016 finals? Sometimes the shots don't go in.

What has a higher probability, Klay AND Steph not being productive, or the Raptors supporting cast not being productive?

Imagine counting on Siakam as your number 2. Then Lowry. The Raptors aren't chumps and they will be competitive, but they just can't hang IMO

Milwaukee's whole offense is predicated around Giannis and 3-pointers, Philly has scorers, but they don't have a offense as dynamic or disciplined as the Warriors. All of those teams are completely different from each other offensively. If Toronto can adjust to the Warriors constant movement by being disciplined on their switches and awareness, they have a chance. I just don't think they're experienced nor cohesive enough to consistently stay on top of everything on defense. They have to also be physical with the Warriors, sound like a recipe for fatigue.

I'm just looking at it like this...Kawhi is basically playing at Bron level coming into last year's finals. But the team in Toronto faced far more adversity than that Cavs team did and have a far better defense.
That Cavs team at minimum was in position to win 2 games including the opener at Oracle and that was with the Warriors have KD. Lowry seems to have gotten over that mental hurdle he had in the playoffs. The supporting cast has confidence after their performance 4 games in a row, specifically the bench.
Last seen in action against a Warriors squad, Kawhi had them dudes down 23 at home with an eerily similar constructed squad. I'm just saying sans KD this series is definitely not lopsided as some are predicting.

Kawhi's support just ain't it or enough to count on. You're bound to have two of them to just not show up at all.

I just think it's obvious this team is better then those cavs teams. Those cavs teams didn't play defense and kawhI>BRON

They are. I think Steph is in a good space right now tho. I’m expecting him to hand out a couple of 30 pieces.
He does that...they win.

Well presents a good question. Can Nick Nurse formulate a gameplan against the Warriors that can generate consistent scoring? Who's going to be the primary facilitator? Although Kawhi is getting better, he's still not considered an elite distributor.

Cavs did step up their defense in playoffs, but this Raptors team is a notch above them easily.

He was able to do it fine in the matchups this season against GS both with and without Kawhi. They had zero issues scoring against GS, yes the playoffs are different but that's all we have to go against since y'all wanna discard everything else that's been consistent in the regular season and playoffs so far.
Not even factoring in how careless we know GS can get with the ball and give teams easy buckets on the other end.

I don't see that, but with Kawhi leading the charge. Dude had success before the Warriors became a dynasty and I'm sure he's EAGER to face us again, especially after his injury.
