GSW or RAPTORS
Both play great team defense but it's going to come down to which offense sets up the defense better
The Raptors didn't have to score much against the bucks, that won't be the case against GSW
I see all these series games be low scoring affairs with GSW making a hot run in the 4ths like the raptors did to the bucks

110.2. That's the Warriors' defensive efficiency in the playoffs this year, which is ninth among the 16 playoff teams and would represent the worst of Golden State's postseason defensive efficiency ratings during its run of five straight Finals.
It would do so by a wide margin, too - Golden State's worst defensive rating in that span was 105.3 points per 100 possessions, in 2017. All of the Warriors' three recent championship teams were either No. 1 or 2 in defensive efficiency in the playoffs.
Whether it is age, fatigue or the offenses of the competition, the Warriors have not been the same defensive team they've been in the past at this time of year. And if they stay where they are defensively while still winning a championship, they will defy some odds - not since the 2000 Lakers has a team finished ninth or lower in postseason defensive efficiency and won a championship.

I would give Toronto a slight edge defensively and the Warriors a huge edge offensively. The Warriors defense can be fickle. It's great when tjey decide to play. Yet they csn get very lazy defensively. This is where they will miss KD as offensively they are probably better without him.
