The energy and hype Raptors have now remind me of the Warriors themselves when they began their dominance

I'm not saying that Kerr is the worst in the league by any means but it's no secret that his substitutions and rotations are absolute trash and have been for some years now. He's tricked off plenty of leads and close games because of it. He played Festus Ezeli and Anderson Varejao in the 4th quarter of a Finals gm 7. He's been gifted with MULTIPLE historic talents. He's living in a coach's dream.

It really is interesting how many teams throughout the history have won game 1 of the finals, but ended up losing the series, and even got backdoor swept. That 2001 series is one example. Bulls-Lakers finals in 91 is another. Dirk won his first two games in the 2006 finals, but ended up losing the series. However, he lost game 1 of the 2011 finals, but ended up winning. LeBron lost all 3 finals games 1s in the finals he ended up winning.

The last thing these Raptors remind me of is a team that is starting a dynasty. They remind me of a very hungry team who know that this might be their only chance of winning a championship, thus playing above their capabilities, like the 2011 Mavericks.

His lineup at the beginning of the 4th quarter was gross. Took Curry like 5 minutes to get in the gameI'm not saying that Kerr is the worst in the league by any means but it's no secret that his substitutions and rotations are absolute trash and have been for some years now.

Sixers vs Raptors Classic 7 game series
Winning by the last shot
Playing Miluakee in the conf finals
Winning game 1 of the NBA finals while being heavy underdogs
A guy with braids is your best player on a historic run
How do you think this will end? #2001?

He's definitely the front runner, but Dlo is right there with him. Or at least he should be.

Thought Toronto wouldn't get swept but figured it would have been game 3 or 4 once GS got comfortable. Toronto played a good game..

This 2001 Sixers comparison makes no sense.
The 2011 Mavericks one does tho when you consider the makeup of the team.
I knew the Raptors set defense would be good, but I thought they would struggle with Curry's movement. Danny Green and Marc Gasol were great trapping off the high pnr.
As someone else put it, the Raptors at any given time can have 5 average to above average defenders on the court. That cannot be undersold. Not having to hide anyone on defense makes life so much easier for a coach and team defense. They also took advantage of Warrior turnovers. Something they do more of when Durant doesn't play.
Kawhi was looking somewhat prime Miami Bron center-fieldish at times. If he has the luxury of doing that this whole series, they're in trouble.
