Raptors just beat two good teams. They're no last year's Cavs.

Both Gasol and Lowry sometimes refuse to shoot or be aggressive on offense. When they do, good things tend to happen for the Raptors. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for when that happens.

Just think how much better the Raptors would be if Kyle Lowry wasn’t their starting PG.

Whomever Steph guards I'm sure will have a good series.

Use Kawhi to eliminate Klay from the series, trap Steph, and hope for the best?

Klay hasn't been that great and is seriously overrated in general (after previously being underrated). Kawhi should just freelance and smother where needed.

He's averaging almost 20 points per game, shooting 39 percent from three, 92 percent from the line, and 45 percent from the field while guarding the best or second best perimeter player on the other team these playoffs.

His defense is REALLY overrated. Looking like you are trying really hard doesn't mean you are an elite defender.

I agree his defense isn't as good as some make out to be, but he seems to make pretty big defensive plays in important moments. In the Portland and Houston series he was pretty clutch on that end.

Klay Thompson has zero MVPs. He's probably the 5th MVP on his own team.

Do you think he was the MVP of his little league team with Kevin Love?

Probably not. I bet Love hit home runs.
