“All of us are hungry and motivated and still have a lot to prove in our careers. And we want to do it again.' Tonight, the Raptors will collect rings and raise a banner. Then they'll set about proving themselves all over again. (via michaelgrange)

Of course, according to the Raptors remaining, this just means they have the league exactly where they want them.

“There is no chance of a championship hangover. If we don’t get it done, we didn’t get it done. It won’t be because we relaxed or we thought we were better than we were,” said VanVleet. “All of us are hungry and motivated and still have a lot to prove in our careers, and we want to do it again. “A little bit, but you can’t get carried away with that kind of stuff or you drive yourself crazy,” VanVleet said. “I think our team feels pretty validated about where we are, but, yeah, you want to be a good team — you want to go and show you’re a good team and prove that you belong in those conversations.”

“We haven’t mentioned … Kawhi, ever. Obviously you have to, but we don’t think about it, we don’t talk about it. He moved on. We’ve moved on and we’re about something different. We’re trying to build or continue to build who we are as a team, regardless of who’s on the floor. We’re going to be the most unselfish, the toughest team.”
