The Raptors are still better than the Sixers at their best but they certainly haven't been at their best the last two games. Kawhi is out there on an island right now like LeBron was last year with those scrub Cavs.

I hate Lowry. I don’t think the Raptors will win with that piece of trash ever.
Everything you’re saying relates to him cracking under pressure. In my opinion, thats because he gets nervous and antsy under pressure that he rushes plays and like you said “hesitant” to shoot which to me means his poor play leads to a lack of belief or confidence in himself that he can’t overcome it.
He definately doesn’t have the mental makeup that leads to elite play in the post season and never will.
I honestly wish the Grizzlies did the Raptors a favour by packaging Conley with Gasol in a trade and the Raps shipped Lowry there. But no team would be stupid to take on a $33 million dollar player with an injury prone history and that has a bad reputation for being a poor performer in the playoffs. Plus the Grizzlies are rebuilding and so taking on Lowry wouldn’t have made sense for them.
