Game 23: Golden State Warriors (15-8) 128 - Toronto Raptors 131 (19-4)

LOL Durant was hot last week. It happens. He's a great scorer. No one's denying that. But the reality is Kawhi can do anything that Durant can. Can't say the same thing about Durant. Kawhi can put up points just like Durant. Kawhi is a far SUPERIOR defender than Durant. And oh, Kawhi is a WINNER unlike Durant.

Winning matters right? Kawhi Leonard has the highest winning percentage of anyone ever in the history of the NBA. I think he has a winning percentage of 766%. Magic Johnson is 2nd, Larry Bird 3rd.

Also, before Kawhi, who was the last winger to win the DPOY and average 20 plus ppg? the answer is Michael Jordan.

Kawhi > Durant

Durant is a winner t rex! He found his own team and won b2b finals mvps! Havent you heard? The hardest road!

Last night's win over the Warriors was the most-watched Raptors regular season game ever on TSN with 564k viewers. 1.9 million Canadians tuned in to some part of the game. The previous most-watched reg season game was last month's season opener (528k). The Kawhi effect is real.

On TSN4, no less.

It only makes sense that this is also the longest regular season game thread here as well.

I geniunely think this might end up being the regular season game of the year for the NBA as a whole.

Until December 12th

Just wanted to say congratulations to all the members who have worked so hard to make this possible. These are fun times. Having been through the tough years makes them a little sweeter.

Hey, I just noticed that I have set a new record for most posts in a game thread. I don't expect it to last.

Thanks Bob.

What is there about the idea of paying money to get a good executive and good players so that you can broadcast a saleable team does Rogers not get? Sorry... baseball lapse. Back to the Raps...
