  • For a dude who seemingly has the emotional range of a robot, Kawhi Leonard exploded with feelings of joy after draining a Game Seven buzzer-beater shot against the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2019 Eastern Conference SemiFinals. That’s just how big this moment was. But to fully appreciate Kawhi malfunctioning, you have to understand everything that led up to the final bounces of that shot.
    How the Raptors fell short year after year to LeBron and the Cavs, forcing them to make a drastic trade to reach this point. You need to understand that the 76ers are only here in this position to stop the Raptors now because they were purposely awful for numerous years. Yes, the Raptors have one of the most loyal fan bases in the NBA, but they had to go through years of losing and misery to get there. And while Kawhi is the star of this Raptors team, getting him to suit for Toronto didn’t come easy. So to really understand this moment, we gotta rewind.

      As a lifelong Raptors fan.. this video was great to relive the best moment of the championship run. As for this year, a lot of Raptors fans can say we are happy that the Raptors are not making the playoffs due to the circumstances. Not playing at home and playing in a city where the home fans boo the Raptors and cheer for the visitors. It would have been much worse if we made the playoffs. At least this way we have a chance to come back to Toronto next season, and that too with a potentially top 10 draft pick. Seems like a win to us.

      as a diehard Raptors fan, I remember hearing about the trade and being devestated. I thought it was so cold the Masai traded away DeRozan, who pretty much was one of the first starrs the team had who actually WANTED to be a longtime Raptor... it was a heartbreaker. And then you hear about Kawhi and the drama in San Antonio and you really don't know what you're gonna get.
      But MAN he was an ice cold killer all season... and he was the X-factor in the playoffs we needed to get over the hump. Did he leave after one seaosn? Yup he sure did, but he played his ass off for the year we had him here, and he will always be remembered as a huge piece of the team that brought an NBA championship north of the border.

      That being said, she still from Philadelphia, which means she loves her teams more than most people. You seem like you're from the Philly area, so you already know what the deal is.
      Anyway, as per usual I was watching every Sixers playoff game, and all I remember from this is my girlfriend screaming "that's impossible, oh my God, NOOOO, did that really just f****** happen"!!
      That was a one-in-a-million shot. It's Kauai takes that five times, he's missing it four. I still think Ben and Joel could have played better defense on that play, as they both seem to give up because they think he's at a poor angle.
