What Giannis needs to do more is get the ball with his back to the basket more so he can survey the floor better instead of getting the ball at the top and dribbling into 2 or 3 defenders every time making more difficult to pass out or get a shot up.

Exactly. He's a post player and should be utilized as such

Interesting. Some people have been pointing that out about harden for a minute now *points to self
 
Interesting fact of the day:

With their 17 wins and 5 losses in the 22 games Kawhi Leonard missed this season, the "garbage" Raptors won more games than LeBron's "stacked" Heat/Cavs teams COMBINED in the 8 seasons where he made 8 straight finals. They only won 13 out of the 45 games LeBron missed over those 8 seasons. In other words, the Raptors won more games in less than half as many attempts.

Where we going with this? :lol
 
Hopefully to a place where people realize that the Raptors are a very deep team.
Playoff rotation is 8 players

Imagine comparing Toronto’s bench of Fred Vanvleet, Norman Powell, Ibaka to George Hill, Ilyasova, and Brogdon and calling Toronto “deep”

What?? Ibaka averaged more points than George Hill and Ilyasova combined.
Brogdon is not a bench player. He started all of his games for Milwaukee this season. He's only coming off the bench in the playoffs due to injury.

And I wasn't talking about the bench specifically when I mentioned depth. The Warriors don't have a great bench either. But they sure as hell are deep. When a team goes 17-5 without their best player, they're obviously a deep team.

Swap Brogdon with All-NBA defence Bledsoe and Bucks are still deeper. Matter of fact, Sixers were deeper than the Raptors too.

Brogdon > Lowry
Giannis = Kawhi
Middleton > Green
Mirotic = Siakam
Brook > Gasol

Ibakas stats are inflated cause he started a lot of games when Draymond broke JVs finger. Raptors had Greg Monroe as the only other center
 
Has there been any Kawhi is the greatest Raptor ever takes yet? Writing is on the wall, has a chance to solidify it tonight.
