A very underrated playoff series. Raptors surprised everyone by being as good as they were after losing Kawhi. I personally believe they would’ve went back to back with Kawhi

Don’t care what no one says.. if it wasn’t for Covid this raps team gets back to the finals.

This is one of the greatest coaching battles in a playoff series ever.

I’ll never get over the fact that Pascal just…didn’t practice basketball during the pandemic.
Cost the team a trip to the finals imo, but that might be biased

i think this is the only raptors celtics playoff series ever

So jokes this even went 7 with siakam playing like 2011 finals lebron. Raps win b2b titles with kawhi

One of the most underrated matchups but that Raptors team was something different

That clutch block by smart was beautiful

I see what Tatum does on the court and how he impacts the game but why does he still look like trash. Im not getting it

That final play by FVV lives rent free in my nightmares
If Siakam was even half as good as he was in thr bubble as he was in the regular season, there’s a solid shot we make it back to the Finals IMO
This series also totally solidified Lowry as not a Trash Bro (if winning a ring the year before didn’t already). Dude hard carried us in game six to force this game, plus the insane inbounds pass to set up the iconic game winner from OG.

Siakam not touching a ball in 3 months and Kawhi leaving. If one of those two things didn’t happen we might have gone back to back.

Man, I miss jumpshooting Tatum. He looks much leaner here, could his gains have affected his shot?

Kyle was insane this series

It’s interesting how much this series swung expectations.
The Raptors were:
* The higher seeded team. * The healthier team – Hayward was out all series. * Led by the higher rated star – Siakam got more All-NBA votes than Tatum. * The ESPN and Vegas favourites. * Undefeated in the bubble outside of their losses to Boston.
But then Boston took an early 2-0 lead and suddenly everyone always knew they were better. Boston letting this series go to 7 games was seen as a choke job.
But it was a great series and Kemba’s defence of VanVleet all series was huge for us.

I thought the raptors were good enough to make the finals even without Kawhi

Truly weird to think about how close that raps team was to potentially getting back to the finals if pascal didnt forget how to play basketball.
