Reply to "Series 3: Raptors vs. Bucks (ECF)"

Kawhi Leonard is a great player.

However, the fact that he hit a lucky shot has somewhat obscured the fact that he took 39 shots on Sunday and was not that efficient (16-39; 2-9 from 3). The Raptors offense essentially became give the ball to Kawhi and get out of the way. Is he a Michael Jordan-level player that can handle that load over a seven game series? I'm not sure. Over the last three games of the Sixers series he was 32-75 from the floor.  

Maybe he'll prove me wrong, but I don't see Kawhi as an unguardable force at the level of Kevin Durant. In other words, I think the Bucks have the defenders and the depth to make someone else on the Raptors beat them. That probably means Siakam, Lowry, or Ibaka. I like our chances.
