I have been thinking that the Raptors match up about as well defensively as any team could against the Warriors (whether with Durant or without him). They've got a bunch of long, rangy, athletic defenders (and could be adding one more if Anunoby returns) and just about everybody on the team's roster other than Gasol and Van Vleet can switch on to anyone on the Warriors roster. They've also been very good at limiting transition in the past few rounds (it was a necessity against Milwaukee), which is also the Warriors' greatest strength.
The significant talent differential as well as their significant experience in the Finals should matter more, but I'm hoping the Raptors could make things somewhat interesting through their defensive schemes, discipline on both ends, and Kawhi.
