This can be said for several teams but with especially the Raptors... but they just missing that one vital piece, another high level guard or something, to really compete...
This reminds of me Lebron on those older Cavs teams where he had to do everything, it’s the same **** with Kawhi and these raptors, just too much for him to carry

So brogdon just outscored the entire raptor bench by himself and the bucks won. And Brook ended up showing out...
But "so clear already"
nice

They don't have to make crazy shots down the stretch because they wont go 11/44 and Kyle Lowry ain't going 80% from 3

Toronto basically needs him to play almost all 48 minutes to have a chance. He was gassed.

Gasol is all the way rinsed. Sheesh. Dude’s decline has been expedited as of late.
memphis learned from bill belichick, better to trade a player a year too early rather than a year too late.

Who would be a perfect #2 for Kawhi?

Meh, you can play the role players not showing up for both sides. Kawhi matched Giannis, Lowry matched Brook. Siakam, Gasol, Green stunk. Bled, Middleton, Hill stunk. Brogdon alone > Raps bench. Difference there
Though I do agree the Bucks should be more consistent I don't necessarily think this loss means it's over. Definitely a heartbreaker tho and one the Raps needed to steal

My bad, thought we were holding superstars accountable. Guess that only lasted 1 series

game 1 overreactions are comedy. if game 1s determined how a series would play out, giannis would have been locked down by the DPOY horford, kyrie would be considered the best leader since pres obama, and gordon hayward would be unwashed

This series should still go 6 or 7 but controlling a game for 3 quarters and letting it slip away against a great team and you don't have home court is big.

When said superstar is coming off scoring the 3rd most points in a series in NBA history and hitting a got damn game winner he gets a pass.
He has a Finals mvp and a track record of coming up big.
Other players.....well they just don't.

We shouldve won that game. Lowry was a monster but Kawhi was gassed by the mid 3rd and Danny Green and our bench were useless as usual. Will be tough to win this se ies since Bucks are so deep and can win without Giannis beasting. Raps don't have depth and are too dependent on one guy (who had no energy to contribute with the game on the line). Still think Bucks in 6.

if anything i feel like the bucks and giannis mimics lebron and the cavs more
i get where you’re going but i get the vibe that kawhi is more of a natural compliment to a 1 than being a 1
