No doubt, Kawhi once again the super-man in series against Bucks. He scores, rebound, assists and High % scoring. Also he defend 字母哥 effectively. His last-minute shooting, rebounding sent 76ers and Bucks home. No question Raptors is one-man-team. No question Kawhi is the best players in all Eastern playoff games.

No doubt, Nurse is the next high appraisal member in Raptors through out the season. Two secret weapons Powell & Vanvleet catched eye-ball in 4-winning games against the Bucks. Powell (2nd round pick by Raptors) and Vanvleet (undrafted by Raptors) played merit minutes in such important games and praised. Nurse brought in Gasol in the middle of the season & played as 2nd passer. Gasol's final mintues ball-passing & rebounding in game 5 with the Bucks desersed applause. Also he's last minute 3-pointers, in game 6, extended away the lead. Green is the only disappointed Raptors player.

Raptors-go-Raptors .....

There is a pivotal game tonight.  

Raptors lead 2 - 1 already, if Raptors wins tonight, the game will return to Toronto with Raptors having a 3 -1 lead, Warriors can then say good-bye to any hopes of a winning the 2019 Championship.

Chances should be good for Raptors because Warriors have two key players to remain on the side line due to injuries.

3 - 1 !!!
Game 5 at home to close out the series.

Go Raptors Go !!!

Kawhi continues playing big in all final play-off games. He is the final MVP I bet. Raptor depends on him in the 5th game in Toronto.

Go Kawhi Go .....

By reporter Doug Smith of Toronto Star. (Appraise the 2nd key in game 5 win)

OAKLAND, CALIF.—Nick Nurse searches, he always searches, moving quickly from one idea to the next if things aren’t going well for the Raptors.

He and his team try to figure it out on the fly because rotations sometimes change, lineups don’t always look the same, and there’s no reason to dawdle with the stakes being so high.

And in the biggest game of the season — at least before this coming Monday night at home — Nurse’s rapid-fire decision-making never came as quickly.

Danny Green struggles early? Get him out for Fred VanVleet after about six minutes.

Getting hammered on the boards? Go with the big lineup of Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka.

Getting good production from both? Roll with them.

Ibaka and VanVleet, and Nurse’s decision to go with them and stick with them, propelled the Raptors to within one game of history after a 105-92 win over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night.

Huray ...
Toronto once again the city of Champion of major sport this year. Last time was in 1992 Blue Jays.
The longest serving Raptors Lowry finally taste the pride.
Leonard earned the 2nd MVP title NBA final.
It's resilient, hard working for the WORKING (laboring) team beat the STAR team.
It's not fluke. 76ers, Bucks joined earlier as defeated teams. Bucks even defeated 4 straights. Worriers lost all home games this 2018-19 season, including 3 home games in play-off, to Raptors.

Next:
Nick Nurse should earn coach of the year
Re-sign Leanard
Prepare packing to meet Trump

Facts of history made by Raptors in season 2018-19:
Nurse replaced Casey

Gasol replaced Valanciunas
Super performances by Siakam & Vanvleet.

And it was accomplished by 7-8 rosters through out the play-off games.
Raptors management 應記一功.
