Nothing like a gracious loser...
Toronto took on the best anyone could put against them and won. I’m a Philly guy, lots of locals were saying if Embid hadn’t been sick for games 4-5 of that series, Philly would have won. We’ll never know because he was sick and could barely play. But hey, Kawhi was hurt for the whole playoffs. Lowry could barely feel his hand for the painkillers they were shooting him up with. Attrition is ALWAYS part of the playoffs and Golden State put the best team they could on the court, and Toronto beat them and frankly dominated them in most of the series. And, actually, Toronto and Golden State played 8 times this season and Toronto won 6 of the 8. One might conclude that Toronto was just the better team.
So no bellyaching!
