But the sentence that made my eyebrows raise is the part of the article that says, they can do it again even without Kawhi.
Why would you feel bad about that? It's normal to a team that they will continue to believe that they will win.
Raptors believe in themselves that they can do it again, but it doesn't mean that they will win.
They will be playing against Bucks this week.
Raptors shows how great they are without Kawhi in this bubble, well let's see how will they go against the best team in the east right now. The Bucks are having a hard time when the bubble started. We doesn't know what they are thinking and I think they might show something against Raptors.

They player already adjust with the system and somehow they are familiar with their teammates strength so there's no doubt that they are dangerous team right now. And kudos to the coaching staff since they really find a best chemistry to make their consistent for their championship run.

Just like the fans, they believe their favorite is the best team, because when judging based on their opinion, they will be bias.
They are counting the contribution and hard work of Kawhi.

Because they can.
Relying on one superstar is not a good thing.
A team is a team. Everyone should contribute and they are proving that now.
Yeah, Kawhi had made a lot of contribution for the Raptors back then. But, it is also because it is composed of great roleplayers on his wing.
Saikam, Lowry and Ibaka.
Now, other players who haven't got minutes before are having their best opportunity. It's still a good thing. It's not that bad at all.

No offense bro, but from how they are playing right now.
It seems to me that they are keep on improving and if all the key players are healthy
the chance that for them to be in the finals again is still possible, unlike what happened
to Miami and cleveland after LBJ leave the team.
That's just my reaction although I don't find it negative but it's just my normal reaction upon reading those words.
I don't see them as weaker just because of Kawhi. That's how I've reacted simply after reading it.
As I'm looking for some news, this got my eyebrows to raise.

What do you say? after Kawhi contributing them to a championship.
What part?
I am looking for the part where my eyebrows will be raised too.
But I have seen none.
It's long, but it's full of good comments thrown into Kawhi by Nick Nurse.
I think the purpose of this article is to highlight that Raptors didn't die.
They improved their game. Which is a good thing now.
Mostly for teams left by stars is like a cemetery. i.e. Cleveland
Summary: It's a good article.
I'm glad there's someone who read the full content, I didn't because it's too long but in the beginning of the article they praise Leonard as a coachable guy, he does his work in the court and that helps them win the title. I think Raptors will never forget Leonard as it's him who give their first championship and the first finals MVP who leave his team after winning. lol

Each team still has a pretty decent chance, I mean back in the day I was saying some teams have a harder path but I think any team could beat any team right now, we are in a situation like that interestingly. grizzlies and Portland only have 1 game difference, which means they could get 8th seed but do not forget 9th seed is important! the 9th seed and 8th seed will play a tiny series between themselves for the playoffs as well so that is important. And all the other teams are within 2 game distance from Portland as well, so there is a HUGE chance for all of that to change at any moment. I AM IN LOVE WITH NBA all over again.
Watching all of these games are awesome. I have bet countless amount of money for myself, I never bet this much, I am going to end up spending my monthly limit on 10th day of the month if I do not end up winning some more

After they beat the lakers, they proved that they are strong team even without Leonard. One of the best player that they have is Kyle Lowry which have good highlights in these past games. He's basketball IQ is really high and it is one of the reason why they dominated the last playoffs. Pascal Siakam is also one of the strongest players inside the court, he has high vertical jumps that helps the team in terms of scoring in the paint and also in rebounding.
It's exciting to see the Raptors back again in the playoffs, let's see if they can advance to the NBA finals again like they did in the past.
They are not the same team anymore without Leonard, but they are showing that Leonard is not a big loss to the team as they are ready to compete and even win games against the best teams in the NBA. Based on the odds of the Raptors to become an NBA champion again, it tells that they are not the favorites, not even the top 5 teams if I recall correctly.
So they are challenge and I know they are not pressure even though they are the depending champion as people believe they can't do a back to back win.
That's the power of being a defending champion. You don't really have much pressure in your veins.
They want to prove something and they can do that.
It will be a difficult path when you look at the strong teams.
They will have to go thru Bucks or 76ers and then there is Celtics. It's just the East.
What more when it's for the Finals ring.

What did the Raptors actually said? TLDR, with the title of the article which their hope is still intact even without Leonard, they have already proven that, they showed their character as a team that they can defend the championship.
If they will advance again in the NBA finals, we've already seen that they have defeated the Lakers which is the best team in the West, so no doubt of the Raps actually.

Their effort will be wasted as it looks Memphis have finally solve their problem, they broke their losing streak with their win against the OKC.
If they keep winning in the succeeding games, they could secure their current spot.
At this moment, based on what I saw in the past games, even good teams can lose as they are not giving the same energy they give when they still need to win, they are secured with the spot, so they will not likely play the way they used to.
Finally and they are again one game away from Blazers and 2 games away from the rest of those teams who also aiming to get the last spot, if they keep on winning coming from their last few games, then yes they can proceed and take the number 8 spot.
Still every teams chance to continue still possible as long as they continue compete and win, while others lose.
Still unsure who's going to get the last spot, 3 teams are trying Memphis,
Blazers and Sun all are good and deserving whoever made it to the next round.
Blazers and Sun all are good and deserving whoever made it to the next round.
Not just 3 but all teams behind 7th are close to 8th and 9th spot.
Unfortunately for most teams there, their remaining games are quite tough and difficult.
Looking at the schedule, I think only New Orleans Pelicans at the West do have at least an easy remaining game although it's hard to imagine that they can sweep it all to have a good position on either 8th or 9th spot.
