This whole season has exposed the media in how reactionary they are and how little they watch and/or cover games. Hardly any of their speculative double talk n rumors came into fruition. I think the only thing they got right the whole season was that Jimmy Butler was leaving the T'Wolves.

@@TheMetzor it's a 5 am show on the East coast. There's no way they are staying up till 12-1 am watching and "analyzing" the games and getting up at 3 for make up and pre-show meetings.

Kawhi Leonard is the best player in the world in my opinion. He averaged 31ppg, 9rpg on 51-39-88 shooting splits while playing lockdown defense and he led Toronto to the freakin Finals for the first time in franchise history. That's insane. Kawhi's efficiency and clutchness are on another level. He has literally only one weakness in his game; that's passing & ball handling but he's steadily improving in that. If I'm building a team for the future Giannis has to be at the top of the list but IF I'M BUILDING A TEAM NOW I'M PICKING KAWHI LEONARD. Don't forget that the guy is only 27 and is in his prime.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I expect he will grow into the 50 40 90 club. IMHO he needs some Bird in his game DNA. He sees things too close sometimes and the Raptors team and coach can push him into a chess player. He is getting close. If he stays in Toronto, I think he can soar.

[@NotAsianButFlip]

Dont lie you guys consciously forgot that the raptors had the 2nd best record in the nba who swept the warriors season series...you know what thats called? Its disrespect...good on you guys for being wrong af...

[@mazengwe28]

We'll see cause they played each other twice in a two week period and Steph was injured in at least one of those games. It was also really early in the season. But I forgot. Kawhi wasn't playing in either game also. So it's gonna be pretty new to both teams.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I think load management did a few good things for the Raptors. They have a spirit animal in Kawhi. They can play with him or without him. That have a wild card that everyone is still surprised by. They have developed a defence first mentality. They have a personal toughness and team toughness

I get why GSW fans & West coast ppl are so confident about GSW because they've proven year after year that they're the best, but shocked by their lack of knowledge & Info about the Raptors & the season they're having. If anyone thinks GSW is going to sweep them, they clearly haven't watched the NBA east coast games this year. The Raptors are the best defensive team GSW will face in 5yrs. GSW is an offensive juggernaut, but the Raptors are equally a juggernaut on defence.

[@garzila]

Don't compare regular season to post season. Raptors got beaten by the Dear all regular season long. Look how that turned out.

[@Stilez]

@@garzila this isn't comparing reg season to post. It's saying that anyone who's watched how the Raptors have been playing defence all season including playoffs, would see just how elite they are. They've kept the highest scoring teams all under 100 all year. Not just 1 series or 1 month. ALL YEAR!!

I don't know what to make of the Raptors. Outside of Kawhi Leonard, the rest of the Raptors were scared to shoot the ball in some of these games. They've played the Magic, the Sixers, and the Bucks. Is that really impressive? Especially after the Bucks' Shooters didn't show up for too many of these games. Golden State has played the Clippers, the Rockets, and the Trailblazers. Shoot ..the Rockets are probably better than any team Toronto has faced in these Playoffs. I don't know how Toronto will respond on the Finals stage against a Warriors' team that's eyeing a 3-peat without KD just to prove a point. Kawhi may be the best Defender in this Series, but he hasn't played against this version of the Warriors. Yeah, guard Curry ...and after you've chased him around two and three screens for the first four games we'll see if you get worn down or not. Btw, if Kawhi is guarding Curry, who's on Klay? Who's on Green? Who's blocking out their Bigs? What if Iggy comes back healthy? What if their Bench continues to play well? And Steve Kerr will actually make necessary adjustments during the Series unlike what the Bucks just did. Toronto may win, but it ain't gonna be this stuff we just saw against Milwaukee.

I don't see why everyone is dragging Stephs name down the toilet because of the defensive end? He's a point guard. Jasok Kidd & Gary Payton are really the only two Point guards known for their defensive skills. And what Steph does on offense individually and for the Warriors definately makes up for. It. Besides he is more than capable of taking on ball handlers so the other can roam on defense. If the opposite team is funna iso, then Klay will take care of that.

Don't need to. i know he's been steals leader a couple times and made 2nd All defense 4 or 5 times.I guess its just getting confusing cuz they keep making a bunch of sub categores for people. You have traditional Point guards, who mostly have made the Al l defensive teams, then now there's the category of scoring point guard, which Steph falls under. but then there aren't too many scoring guards who make all defense. Also people can't make up their mind if they want to value guys that play well on both sides of the ball or guys who are superior on one end. The problem with all these arguments is that nobody has a set criteria. People value different aspects of basketball more than the the other. So really there is never going to be a clear consensus on anything anymore. All the lines are blurred unless someone defines a distinction and sticks with it.

[@mazengwe28]

Also some people don't really value steals and blocks as defense anyways, other wise guya like Curry wouldn't be considered a defensive liability. He's usually at the top every year in steals.
