Kyrie is the far more offensively gifted player. But if Kyrie isn't scoring he isnt doing much of anything.

Before Lebron showed up Kyrie couldnt lead a team to a none embarassing record. Conley as is right now and not through their whole careers, is the better point guard.

Kyrie may be the biggest star with the least responsibility I have seen in some time. Kevin Love takes the blame for everything even though his responsibilies are greater. Kyrie is a point guard who isnt even expected to be the primary ball handler. Kyrie scores and all is forgiven.

Conley very rarely makes mistakes. Basketball IQ is great. Is actually a very good defender. Carries a scoring load for his team. He doesnt turn the ball over. We arent talking about Conley compared to Steph here where its obvious Steph is better in almost every area.

Conley>Kyrie

Kyrie is the most overated star imo.

Has Kyrie played with anyone as good as Marc Gasol, Rudy Gay, or Zach Randolph prior to LeBron arriving? Dion Waiters is playing for his basketball career right now, otherwise he's been trash.

That's Kyrie's role and I would honestly probably want LeBron playing PG over Kyrie. You can even make the argument Kyrie was just as deserving of the Finals MVP as LeBron was last season.

Kyrie has shown he can run the show as well...if you ask me, Conley is on par with someone like George Hill.

Most overrated star is either Westbrook or Kawhi depending what mood I'm in.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Raptors nearly choked this away by sticking with Cory Joseph

 

[Lionel Richie]

Westbrook I can see, although I disagree, but how on Earth is Kawhi overrated?

 

[parasight]

Giannis dying of exhaustion. Casey calls a timeout.

 

[neptunes]

ol' dude is gassed

 

[Hyperactivity]

I love the Raptors squad this year, but Giannis has been a favorite of mine since 2015 (though they arguably had a better younger core than the Wolves at the start of the year, point-Giannis is amazing).

I hope Giannis makes it to ECF or finals next year. Honestly, I could see this Bucks squad being the one that might finally stop Lebron

Honestly, the Bucks are already gonna be in ECF contention next year

 

[bbd23]

excuse me?

 

[RS4-]

Lol the shoulder. Of course.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Fuck off.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Ibaka was right. When they move the ball around, no one can beat them. So much for the Raptors realizing that

 

[Pakkidis]

Raptors giving me a heart attack right now.

 

[Tommy DJ]

Why on earth do the Raptors always try and run down the clock in the playoffs? I've seen them do that several times and it doesn't really seem to work too well.

 

[bbd23]

this is pathetic

 

[Gotdatmoney]

I can't believe the Raps. They just stopped pssing.

 

[bigred50]

holy shit raptors

 

[The Elite]

This is sort of incredible to watch.

 

[RedEther]

Raptors choking real hard

Edit - lol raps pls

 

[MetalFearSolid]

FUCK THIS TEAM.

 

[Tubobutts]

Holy shit

 

[RS4-]

incoming bailout call

 

[bbd23]

[megalowho]

lol this fucking comeback

 

[Hyperactivity]

Wow....

4 pt play

 

[RS4-]

incoming bailout call

I had to say it.

 

[PROh1bited]

The Raptors are showing their true colours

 

[parasight]

Take back everything I said. The Raptors look like the inexperienced team.

 

[Umbooki]

I love the playoffs.

 

[detectiveconan1]

What a meltdown...

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Raps. I should have known better

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

This is hilarious

 

[The Elite]

71-46.

 

[nubcake]

Dwayne Casey is the only coach in the NBA who could possibly allow this to happen. I should say it's mind blowing but I'm not even surprised anymore. No lead is ever safe.

 

[bigred50]

Raptors never make anything easy.

 

[Anth0ny]

Raptors gonna raptors

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Casey is coaching to save his job. If he loses this series. He is fired. Simple as that.

Nate McMillan?

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Never doubted the Raptors to play like Playoffs Raptors.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

I fully expect Kidd to spill his drink again to buy rest time for the team

 

[thehypocrite]

4 points in a quarter? lolronto.

 

[nubcake]

Why on earth do the Raptors always try and run down the clock in the playoffs? I've seen them do that several times and it doesn't really seem to work too well.

Because Casey is a terrible coach. Teams that are poorly coached forget about the fundamentals and the gameplay when the pressure is on(or when you think the game is won) and the Raptors are the best possible example.

 

[Hyperactivity]

I see the Raptors winning this. They did so many near-chokes and ugly ass wins last year, it would be the most Raptors thing to do. Winning by 1 pt on some ridiculous shot

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Jesus

 

[Hyperactivity]

Ball movement is back, that's huge

Don't worry, DeFrozen gonna run iso hero ball.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Does no one else remember Lowry and DeRozan shooting badly every game but getting points, keeping them in it? No one else remember that fucking throwaway deep 3 by Lowry to send the games to OT.
This is the most Raptors thing to do. Pretend to choke, and then win in an ugly way

Yeah we had one like this a few years ago against the Nets. I remember DVRing it, we were up by like 30 and I accidentally saw the score on Facebook that we won by like 2. It was a weird feeling watching them completely collapse but knowing they'd barely pull it out lol

The Raptors didn't win that game with the throwaway 3 from Lowry

Some teams just play better with their backs to the wall.
