Siakam has to be that top guy for this team, because he is the only one with the size/athleticism combo to create his own shot in any situation. Lowry and VanVleet are tremendous players, but at only 6 feet they just can’t always do it when the game slows down like it did at the end of game 2.
Boston’s D should get lots of credit, but Lowry, VanVleet and Gasol missed numerous open looks that they usually knock down. That cost us game 2.
In the end though, this Raptors team should deserve our trust and support more then any Raptors or Flames team I’ve watched over the years. Down two games, but I absolutely would not count these guys out.
