Can I add some qualifications?

If Powell and VanVleet are better than they were against Philly (low bar) GSW in 6. If they aren't, sweep.

Toronto beat the Bucks 4 times in a row that's incredible I give them a good shot against the Warriors.

agreed

and Bucks gave them their best punches in game 5 and 6

up by what 15 in both games?

I agree on this

but no reason to think they won't be.  They each had "coming out" games

the one guy that looks like has earned a ticket out of the league is Danny Green. He has been nothing short of dog@#4

With KD out game 1 I would put Kawhi on Steph right off the bat hes the heart of the team.

Warriors in 5, irrelevant of KD.

Doesn’t mean I won’t be rooting for Toronto

I am sooooo rooting for an upset.
The Warriors have been so annoying and the Klaw is just too nice to not root for...

Chance for Kawhi to reddem himself some unfinished business against the Warriors when he got injured by Zaza in G1 leading by a large margin.. Subsequently losing the series bec KL was done.

I'm hoping Kawhi is in no way injured what's so ever.

RAPTORS in 7..

Home court advantage, more than 2 lock down defenders plus a legit 2-way superstar. Sounds funny but I'm leaning toward the Raps.

The Raptors defense against the Bucks in the last 3 games was impressive. Green might be able to slow down Leonard somewhat, but Kawahi will still get his points and free throws. I see this series going 7 games, especially if Durant and Boogie either don't return or are limited. But GSW will win in 7 b/c of their championship experience. This should be a good series.

Dubs in 5. Leonard will show up and probably be one of the 2 best players in the series but I'm not sure they can get VanVleet shooting at 80% from 3 again. And who knows which Lowry will show up.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Warriors in 4 unless Durant comes back as I think they will lose his first game back, but then win out (so Warriors in 5 in that scenario).
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

at this moment KD might kill the cohesion of Klay , Green ,Curry got going.  Too many cooks kill the stew ...see This years Celtics  >:(

GS big three are play n great team Ball minus KD .  I don't think small doses of Cousins will hurt them if he returns. when the moment calls for him .  He does not dominate the ball.

Not that GS would not win with KD .   I just think they are revved up for the challenge to dominate with the original core .....KD re entrance kinda kills the current mojo .

At this moment in time GS is smoother running team minus KD.

Toronto has some good size/length to stay with Thompson/Curry. If KD/Cousins come back for this series, will they be back in game shape/rhythm? If Toronto can steal a game or two in the first 3, they have a legit shot.

Depending on the health of Durant and even getting Cousins back I can't see Toronto winning more then 1 possibly 2.  If Durant is back by the time the go to Toronto  I will say GSW in 5 max 6 but probably 5.  If he's not back then GSW in 6.  They are just too good and I think their is still a decent gap between GSW and the rest of the league.
