Raptors Discussion: v80|Conf Finals | vs Mil | Game 4: Tue, May 21 | 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT| Bucks lead 2-1

[Gabriel426]

Wasn’t Orlando the best team since Jan 1st or something. The Bucks is a good team and for some strange reason Lopez and the other Big always score multiple 3s against us. Anyhow, the Bucks remind me of Lebrun and the Cavs, if you can stop Giannis, you are going to win and luckily Raptors got Kawhi and Siakam to play D on Giannis. It will be a very good series and I think it will come down to the last shot pretty much every game.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

We are pretty tired out...... Milwaukee has a deadly team. Its possible we could win, but we would have to play as well defensively as we presently are, and shoot like gods.

This Giannis kid is making me forget about Lebron already. In terms of Beast ability.

I don't think Gasol can cover him anywhere near as effectively as he did Embid.

A lot going on in this post.

How do you play Giannis? Do you double him or let him get his just as long as nobody else goes off? He is not known to be a good shooter.

Sag off at the perimeter. I’ll let him shoot 3s all day until he kills you there.

If you sag off on the perimeter though you give him space to get downhill easier, which is when he's most dangerous. Only way that doesn't happen is if you play a partial zone.

Conversely if we play a modified zone, their three point shooting is pretty good (5th in the playoffs), and they could make us pay.

 

[KapG]

Can we just deny him entrance into the country? It's bad enough getting hot take garbage tweets from bitter Skip Bayless. It'd be nice if Windbag A Smith wasn't around too.



Though I would've preferred Jack over Leo, Matt Devlin is a very good pbp guy



Been a fan all the way back to the inaugural Vancouver Grizzlies. The only things worth watching on that team were him and Byron Scott.

That's what the schedule press release i saw said.

I don’t mind Devlin.

Leo and jack are garbage tho lol

 

[The Nemesis]

I don’t mind Devlin.

Leo and jack are garbage tho lol

Jack Armstrong is a treasure.

Your kidding right? Jack is awesome.

 

[yvrtojfk]

Brogdon might not play in game 1.

Greek Freak might not kill you, but his wide open teammates will

I am sure the average Leafs Nation person can handle the success of the Raptors, but I wonder if still a good 10% cannot

 

[Tuggy]

I can't stop watching the shot

 

[Suntouchable13]

I can't even imagine how this would feel like if we were on the other side of this.

I can, Vince's miss in 2001 made me cry lol

 

[Suntouchable13]

I meant somebody hitting a buzzer beater on us in game 7 to eliminate us.

 

[GoldenGOOSE]

Vince was a selfish prick. Kawhi gives it all to his team. He might run, but I will support him wherever he goes. He carries our team on his back. Guy is Donaldson, the parrot and Bautista man.

 

[leafsleafs]

I don’t mind Devlin.

Leo and jack are garbage tho lol

Go away.

 

[Suntouchable13]

This is the 5th time I see a Toronto team I follow in a final 4 situation. Can we break through one time? Please? I want to see my team play in a final series. One time. Come on!

 

[yvrtojfk]

I don’t mind Devlin.

Leo and jack are garbage tho lol

Bro take the L.

 

[GoldenGOOSE]

Philly was what it was. ... Milwaukee is Kawhi's greatest challenge. If he can beat Milwaukee, he is the greatest athlete Toronto has ever seen.

I guess you don't count Toronto FC when they went to the MLS Cup in 2016 and 2017?

I don't follow soccer/TFC. Only Leafs, Jays and Raps. So for me, what TFC did did not mean anything.

 

[IceColdBear]

They did say a team that "they follow".

I don't care about MLS or the CFL, so I didn't care about either of those championships. I did watch the MLS final and Grey Cup games, but those were the only games I watched all season, and so it was not particularly exciting to watch them win.

If the Leafs, Raptors or Jays were to get to a championship, however, I would be over the moon.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Looks like Kawaii has signed.

I'm also not the biggest TFC fan, however I was very happy to see a Toronto team get to a championship game. Now I remember the Blue Jays making to the World Series in 1992 and 1993, even though I was 7 and 8 years old at that time. I also remember the Maple Leafs making it to the Conference Finals in 1993, 1994, 1999 and 2002. However more recently when the Blue Jays made the ALCS in 2015 and 2016 which they lost it sucked making it that far to not make the World Series. The same can be said when the Raptors made the Eastern Conference Finals in 2016 and lost that series. So when TFC won the Eastern Conference in 2016 and 2017 it was great seeing a Toronto team making it past that specific round.

 

[GoldenGOOSE]

Kawhi... has done more than Toronto has seen since David Keon. Give the guy a break.

He will leave, after giving his all to this team.

But the city voted as the worst traffic in the world in 2017, and cold and dreary, will not win his heart.

The guy is a San Diego guy. Wants to be home soon.

Lets hope he carries this franchise on his back AGAIN against Milly.

Doubt he will, he drained the bucket against a very, very good much better Philly team.

If he beats Milwaukee, this guy should sign the biggest contract in NBA history.

But he is going against a BEAST somewhat like Lebron in his prime. A beast with huge skills.

As an investigative investor. All his homes and there are a lot of them. all have palm trees...

This guy is very close to his mom. And unlike a lot of black men. Very close to his father as well.

There is NO WAY he removes himself from his mom, one more time.

Gotta understand a man who cannot be understood.

But if you understand his dad and his mom were together and his dad was murdered in California, and his sister, four of them live in California, its pick em Bless the guy.

He is signing close to his family and it ain't Toronto.

But he will give his all to Toronto this playoff against the BEAST, Giannis.
