108923, I honestly don't know where the "Toronto is deeper" thing comes from

Especially since during the play-offs, unless its been a blow-out either way, the Raptors have going 8-deep. In close games, only Ibaka, Powell, and VanVleet get any run, with occasionally a smattering of Meeks. And that's been against teams that aren't as good as the Warriors.

Meanwhile, especially during the Portland series, the Warriors have been going like 11 deep. And that's with KD and Cousins hurt. In fact, the general consensus in that Kerr feels like he made a mistake shortening the bench early in the Rockets series.

So I'd give the bench edge to the Warriors, especially if Cousins and KD come back.
