Any NBA fans in here?

Not a Warriors fan, but I wouldn't count them out at this point.

 

I promise you that you're about to see a Raptors team that is gonna fight harder than you ever seen them fight to close this out in Toronto.

If GS gets it back to Oracle they might have a chance and I dont see the Raps wanting to let that happen.

Does KD play?!

 

No KD. But pride is a big factor. The Warriors should give them quite a fight. Of course, if Curry lays an egg like game 4, no chance warriors win.

 

The Raptors are really good. The Warriors said they didn't know much about them before the series, but they do now.

 

Sooooo.... looks like KD is indeed playing tonight.

 

1 point! What a great game!

 

Not sure Dubs win if KD didn't start. Win or lose the series, Kawhi Leonard is the MVP in my book even though a Dubs fan. Funny how they showed the questionable looks of Cousin's put back several times but only showed the definitive top down look once. Setting it up? Marc Jackson came across as a shill for the refs confirming every call. I don't mind Toronto winning, lord knows they're good enough but let them do the winning.

 

I live in the Bay Area but am not a Warriors fan...for various reasons. I actually dislike the Warriors. The last five years have been a nightmare.

But after watching Drake's antics through the playoffs and after listening to those fuck heads in Toronto cheer Durant's injury, I will be rooting for a Warrior's win.

 

And Drake needs to sit his ass down.

 

Yes... a couple of classless asshat fans cheered KDs injury... but the Raptors players were the first to show that would not be tolerated and told them to STFU.

However... that was in Canada. Imagine if you will Kwahi or Lowry getting hurt in Oakland... could you imagine the sound of THAT crowd?!

Cheering an injury is never acceptable and it was very disrespectful but holding that as the Raptors responsibility is also not cool.

And yes I agree... drake needs to sit his ass down somewhere.

 

I'm sure the initial reaction was about the turnover but idiots are everywhere. Might just as easily been US citizens in the crowd doing the ugly American act. I'm not getting excited about it, crowds often sink to the lowest common denominator. The internet isn't exactly inspiring for it's civility.

 

We're mostly assholes up here. Why do you think we're always apologizing? And to be fair, we don't like Drake either.

If Toronto pulls this off... Lowry will be the reason. He is having the game of his life right now.

 

WSU Alum so I'm biased but Toronto does not get to the finals [past the Bucks] or win the title tonight without my man Fred VanVleet. The kid is not particularly athletic, is a tad slow, claims 6'1 but I am 6'1 and he is shorter than me, yet he leads the Shockers to a Final Four followed by a 35-0 regular season and now NBA champ.

Congrats Toronto from Kansas . . .

 

Congratulations Toronto, a well earned championship.

 

Hell of a series. Warriors showed a lot of class congratulating Toronto for the win. Two great teams.

 

One of the best games i’ve Ever seen. Two outstanding teams for sure.

 

The warriors have got to be pretty happy despite losing. Without Durant and losing Thompson mid-game they kept it as close as possible right down to the end.
Very good game!

 

I have to admit that was the most intriguing finish I've ever seen in a finals. I also have to admit I kind of like Leonard and his utmost respect and class for the opposing team. Instead of celebrating right away he sought out the opposing players and shake their hands. He even pushed his fellow players away and told them to hold on a minute... Mad sportsmanship for the win. This just shows the magnitude of teamplay. Toronto is a bunch of role players that just did their job and did not look for the glory. I think we're going to see this formula more often play out in the NBA.

We just witnessed David slay Goliath.

My biggest gripe right now is all of the talking heads on those annoying four letter Sports programs trying to say that Toronto didn't earn it but that they only won the championship because the big guys from the warriors were injured. They seem to forget that they beat the best team in the league 1 series prior with all of their Stars healthy.

That team more than earned it and I send my congratulations

 

Don't fool youself, Kyle Lowrie, Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaca, Danny Green, these aren't no name role players. All have playoff experience, some have a ring, what is true is they aren't lottery pics. They won, they earned it, no what ifs, but Goliath was hamstrung from the start and it only got worse. Injury is part of the game and this time around it favored Kawhi Leonard's team. Either team could have won or suffered injury, that both teams made it this far and fought this hard is what impressed me. The Raptors are a great team, deserved to win, and did so. If the Warriors had won it would have been epic but it was not to be this time.

Those same 4-letter heads would be talking smack no matter who won, don't let them bother you, they're obviously complete idiots with personal axes to grind. They show their own weakness of character in what they say and how they judge players, Isiah Thomas excepted, I appreciate his refreshing outlook.
