Brooklyn Nets coach talks to the NYPost about the Toronto Raptors, riding a 13-game winning streak before tonight’s game:
“I’ve said it since the beginning of the year, I think they’re a championship-contending team. I said it when we played them in the exhibition. They’re really good.
I think the fact that they had Kawhi, that was the excuse, that they won it because of Kawhi. I don’t think it’s that simple,” Atkinson said. “They’ve proven it, that they really do it in a team concept. They have an amazing amount of young guys contribute. I think that’s a credit to their development.
“Nick’s system obviously fits what they’re doing. Siakam taking a huge jump has been real important. I think Kyle, you talk about the winners in the league, guys who know how to win in this league, he’s right up there for me in the top five guys. He just knows how to win.”
The reigning champs are second in the Eastern Conference with 38 wins in 52 games.
