your point as always is well taken, but let's watch just a bit more of this series before we go handing out Larry O'Brien Participation Trophies to everyone
I'm not handing out the LOB trophy. I'm not willing to go on record on who I think will win this series. In fact before this series started I thought the Warriors would probably prevail in 7, even without KD. But I went on record long ago that the only way to beat the Warriors is with floor spacers at every position and to play 5 out and pick and pop and tti finally read their defense to slip the pick and cut to the basket. And games like tonight prove it's the only way to have a chance to beat them in a 7- game series. I do think the Raptors have a great chance here since they have home court advantage and especially if Iggy is out injured. I actually think Iggy is more important to the Warriors success than KD is because of what he brings to their defense alongside Draymond. Mckinnie is a good player but nowhere close to Iggy defensively. So the Raptors have a great chance here. But i still can't pick them. I am watching as a fan. And even if the Raps do prevail, historians will point out that KD and Iggy were both injured. But...... this game should show everybody that the keys to beating the Warriors are floor spacers at every position and switch defenders.
I’d rather have Marc Gasol than Clint Capela in a series against the Warriors. The Rockets were trying to trade for him, if I’m not mistaken. That said, the Raptors are now 1-0 at home against the Warriors, and we were 2-1 at home in our series against them.
I know you're trying to dunk on him here, but like, the reason he likes(liked?) Thon Maker was because he is supposed to be a floor spacing center. Wanting Thon is totally consistent with his post there.
I would love Thon and Oubre this yr.....It's a start in the right direction! I would trade a #2 and Nene for Thon.
I sure hope so. If he would emerge as the starter and be a difference maker on both ends I'd be very happy.
Thon has only played for 3 teams so far and there are so many more teams to be a part of to become a journeyman.
