These recaps are great nostalgic hits, and I can literally recall where I was for each game. I quit watching by the third quarter because I thought this would surely be another Raptors failure like years past. Then, watching the highlights and seeing Kawhi go crazy was surreal. As Raptors fans, we never get that from anybody.
You can see the pain on Will's face when Danny said that the 2020 Lakers would beat the 2019 Raps lol
these look backs are great, they can never take away our chip, cheers to danny
Butler only played 1 season for the Sixers
I believe the 2022 second round pick in the Butler trade was pick 50, Matteo Spagnolo, who only played for the Minnesota summer league team briefly and that’s it, lol.
Raps were missing OG in 2019. OG had had a tough season for many reasons, but he's still 6'8 and can defend and make FTs. Would have made a huge difference against the Sixers. And would have been someone to shut down Klay in the Finals.
Danny's right, watching The Shot felt like an eternity where it actually took like 2 seconds for the ball to bounce 4 times and go in
Need another retroeactive series, hopefully one not focused soley on the championship year
What a great trip down memory lane! Awesome pod🔥
Makes you remember how good that Sixers team was
Living for these
