The consensus around the league seems to be that the Toronto Raptors got a bit of a raw deal having to play Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round. The thinking is that it’s rough having to take on the second or third best player in the Eastern Conference, and especially a young team on the rise.
There’s a school of thought that the team with the best player in any series has an inherent advantage, and much as we all love Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, that honour is certainly one that Giannis holds.
