What a dumb comment. Did you even watch any Raptors games? First of all, we had an amazing backcourt; Lowry and VanVleet were making 3-pointers nonstop. I was also surprised how well these guys played defense. VanVleet gave Curry lots of trouble during the Finals and Lowry was just diving all over the place. Siakam stunned everybody with how well he played this year. He was scoring from all over the court. And finally, we have two amazing centers: Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka. How many centers in the NBA can make 3-pointers? It's funny, because so many guys underestimated Gasol. He would be standing behind the arc with the ball, and nobody was guarding him because they all thought he couldn't score from back there, and he would do it! Ibaka was just dominating the paint game after game.

And I also want to say this: last summer Paul George signed a four year deal with OKC for $137 million. After playing just one season, he requested a trade. So when guys in the NBA do this, then Kawhi signing for four years with the Clippers doesn't mean anything, right? It's not as if he's going to play four years there. Who knows what's going to happen over there.
