TOR team defense reminds me BOS defense with Rondo, KG and Allen.

Big time win for the Raptors! Good on them!

Such a joy watching TOR in playoffs playing great defense and excellent team offense. Also no place for Curry's shimmy shake is so satisfying.

Golden State has looked overmatched all series. Maybe they have a chance in Durant comes back, but it's probably too late.

I hope he won't be back but even then there's a good chance he isn't up to speed and is more of a hindrance. Boogie, although on a different scale, has been in the same situation.

On the other hand, KD is still KD. I could see him score 30 points coming back from an injury that had sidelined him for a good amount of time.

Toronto can really grind out these games. It's impressivve. One of the best defensive teams of the last 15 years.

Golden State doesn't have any length, athleticism or toughness. They just got two good jump shooters and a maniac lunatic in Draymond.

Raptors 3 and a half minutes away from being Legends

Cousins was getting destroyed on switches by Lowry and Kawhi was turning into Mecha Jordan and the Warriors still squeezed out the win.

GS won tonight because they have guards that can shoot. When will our Wolves get any guards that can shoot??

When you don’t pass up Murray for Dunn.

This is stuff we can all agree on. Murray was the better choice, however the consensus was Dunn was the better prospect. I wanted us to trade the pick to Chicago in a Butler deal. Maybe we get him a year earlier the result would have been better.

absolutly crazy game on so many levels.

First the setting Toronto 3-1 and in a home game. Raptors fans camping days to go to the public viewing. KD cleared to play, starting strong, then the injury, raptors fans cheering, then Boogie beasting before playing pathetic last 2 minutes, leonard going on a run by himself bringen Raptors the lead then weird timout by Nurse, then Curry and Klay bombing threes and Lowry misses the championship shot by not even hitting the rim, Warriors win by 1.

and then all the league wide implication. what does this mean to free agency? have we see the last of prime KD, one of the greatest scorers ever?

It most likely doesn’t mean anything except Durant’s injury didn’t have time to heal. I don’t think it has any long term implications.

If it's a torn achilles he's never going back to how he was. He could still be good and probably will be but his time as potentially the best player in the league is done.

I didn’t know it was an Achilles. Seems like someone on the training staff really screwed up

Yep. Murray or Buddy would have fit in nicely

You can see him flex his foot back while on the ground, something that couldn't be don't if the Achilles was completely torn/ruptured.
