I typed something in the wrong thread, and forgot to copy/paste it before I deleted it
Anyway, I think the Raps win. The key is you have to slow AD down, and the Raptors have the pieces to do that. Lebron is Lebron, but they win because of AD. If AD has a miserable game they are going to lose.
But playing in an arena vs the bubble also matters. If we played in a bubble I'd favour the Lakers slightly, but still think we could take them. LA has a lot of role players that I think would have bad games in Toronto, and we'd have home court advantage.

Yes.
My opinion about Kawhi has not changed, he is the best player in the world - so we'd have the best player in that series. The key is slowing AD down, the Raps have a lot of bigs that they can match him up with. And then there's the Lowry/FVV backcourt vs KCP/Rondo backcourt. That's a huge mismatch.

I believe Gasol has been good at defending AD in the times they have played against each other. You'll have one of the few players capable of defending Lebron 1 on 1 in Kawhi.
Kawhi this year didn't live up to expectations, but last Playoffs was one that will go down in history. He carried the Raptors through the Sixers averaging almost 35 a game, he made big shots and timely buckets against the Warriors and Bucks and even that 10 straight points that almost put away the Warriors in 5. The guy was no joke.
So yes, I believe Raptors would have won.

The bubble started out great but kind of sucked in the end. Raptors fan take maybe. The Finals without fans was a bit of a drag. Role players going off was kind of cute at first but got old quick.
The Jimmy Butler hype train needs to slow down. The guy is good but he's no superstar. The ability to have his game 5 type performances every night instead of once or twice a series is exactly what separates the top 10-ish guys from the next tier. Butler's firmly in the next tier. So is Lowry. These guys are very good all the time and great sometimes. They can't drag your team to W's night in and night out."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard
