KoB2011 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Raptors and Bucks with HUGE home wins. Don't want to read too much into two home wins in the second game of the season, but man those teams looked great. The redesign both team did in the off-season seamingly has made both squads a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to read too much into two home wins in the second game of the season, but man those teams looked great. The redesign both team did in the off-season seamingly has made both squads a lot better. I think the key word for both games was “home”. I didn’t see the Pacers game, so don’t really know what happened there, but the Celtics-Raptors game was a great game. It was back and forth all game, and one possession with a little more than 2 minutes to go. Typical NBA game where the role players for Toronto played great down the stretch (which explains the final score), not so much for Boston, and Toronto got all the calls (not crying about the refs, just the nature of the NBA, home teams get calls). No doubt, Toronto is infinitely better with Kawai. I’ve never been a big DeRozan fan, nice player, but not a guy who is going to win you a playoff series when you need it. Kawai is a huge, huge upgrade for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Those who thought Kawhi was not going to come out and play, or was somehow not the player he once was, well, nope. He's playing like a top 3 player, again. Good to see him healthy, and Raptors are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not top 3 as I'd still take Lebron, KD, and AD but he's probably top 5 or 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbmhoosier Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Did anyone see that ESPN ranked Stevens as the #2 coach in all of professional sports? Even ahead of Pop which surprised me. Belicheat being #1 of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only knock on Greek Freak is that the East hasn’t been great and I think they have a good enough roster and now coach, that if he’s a top 5 guy he should have Milwaukee in the top 3 of the East.

Yeah, I think that's fair. The roster is really built to compliment him so he needs to produce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, Pop's not winning another championship anytime soon. From a historical perspective, Pop will probably always rank ahead of Stevens. But,. for strictly looking at the here and now, in 2018, you can make the case for Stevens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
