You counted 3 airballs because you are bias and only see what you wanna see. This is very sad and disrespectful.
If you look closely, you will notice that Lebron, Kobe, Kyrie, ...also shoot airballs.
You ask: What makes Toronto offense way better?
When Kawhi sat for 10 minutes in the 4th, the Raptors went on a 12 points in 5 possessions and cut the lead, while Kawhi was sitting.
Just listen to Tim from Minute 3.
Kawhi plays ISO, but with a clear purpose. He is also the high assist guy on the team. We have players who can play ISO ball and shoot the midrange, but they are very poor decision makers and the coach can't train them to make better decisions. That's the difference.
CJ is a better midrange player than Kawhi. But ... he is a very poor decision maker.
When our Dame was double teamed, we cried. Kawhi was double teamed at times, but found ways to make things happen.
Yes Giannis is an MVP type player, but that doesn't mean his offense is all that great in crunch time. But he is young and will no doubt continue to improve. Everything else he does though is phenomenal. But come on you have to admit he did not look that great in the lane when several times he came up a foot short. I counted 3 air -balls form close range in the last 2 games. That is closer to Aminu than MJ or Kobe
What makes Toronto's offense "Way better" than ours? Kawhi? What I saw was a lot of ISO ball that fans like to complain about from Stotts.
Kawhi often went 1 on 3 and to his credit often found open shooters on the perimeter. When they hit the wide open 3 they looked good and when they didn't it looked bad. How is that offensive philosophy different? What did Nurse draw up that that was "Way Better". "Here Kawhi take the ball and do something"
Yes they have better defenders. I already acknowledged that. Not sure about the no-name part though when you have two past ALL NBA Players of the Year starting for you. But I was strictly responding to the post that said both offenses were so much better than the Blazers.
I did not see anything special in this series. Of course that happens when you play the same team so many times in a row.
