After "Sleepy" Kawhi Leonard left the Big smoke to bring bring down the Clippers . We can see he wasn't the reason Toronto won and dominated the NBA last year . And to my surprise , Toronto is better than last year . Sleepy Kawhi has made the Clippers worse . I don't see any team that can beat Toronto in a 7 game series .
I got Nick Nurse to win coach of the year at 20 to 1 before the season started. Pretty happy with their season thus far.
Kobes death guaranteed the championship for LA. The league will ensure the Lakers win. Pencil Bryant in for MVP, too.
Toronto is very well coached and plays great defense. That alone will win you a lot of regular season games. Their team chemistry is great. I'm a fan but I'll admit I'd be shocked if they won again this year. Playoff basketball is a bit different. I'd say worst case is a second round loss to Boston or Miami and best case is the conference finals loss to Bucks. They'll need Giannis to get injured or something to get through the east. It's an amazing time to be a fan though. Feels nice to prove doubters wrong who said they would be way back in the east without Kawhi. This team has been dominant in regular season for over half a decade now.
Well if they've been dominant for a while its not because of Siakam and not because of Nurse. Let's give Lowry his due- he's a great leader.
I would take Van Vleet and Lowry as my backcourt over any other in the NBA.

They're very good but a lot of the times only one is on the floor because the team doesnt really have another primary ball handler off the bench besides Pat McCaw who sucks offensively, but has to play 20min a game. Too bad they didnt upgrade him at the deadline. The coaching and team chemistry is as high level as I've ever seen for an NBA team, rivaling the great Spurs teams.

Agreed. You clearly know your stuff, and I mean that with 100% sincerity. I like what Toronto's front office has done over the past, say, 5 years. Any chance you all could spare an executive or two to come bail out the Bulls?

As a Bucks fan, I hope you're wrong.
Count me as more optimistic than confident in my Bucks.
They dont have a closer necessary for a game 7. They have tough, gritty players but not a go to killer.
Raptors lose to the Bucks in a playoff like atmosphere game at home with the Bucks on the back end of a back-to-back. Raptors are really good, but the Bucks are playing on another level right now. Khris Middleton is playing phenomenally whenever it's crunch time and when games tighten up.
