We have to approach game 6 as if we're in the bucks shoes. Again Danny green has to wake up!!!! Powell and Fred has given him lots of rest! Let's see what all this "he's been here before" talk is about.

Meanwhile our favourite local scribe is advocating for the series to go 7. No wonder everyone hates this guy.

Go re watch the game. Their bench couldnt score and need brogdon there. When giannis was off in 2nd half we took over the game.


This is all arbitrary. If fvv doesn't fo off for 7 3s we probably lose this game. How the **** do ypu game plan for fvv making 7 3s after make a total of 1 for 14 or so straight Games. Starting lineup chsnge isn't the reason they lost.


The starting lineup change hurt them. Brogdon needed to come off the bench. Go re watch. They didnt need SL help. They needed bench help which we owned them again. It was a knee jerk reaction by Bud. “If bledsoe doesnt score 20, we win in a blowout”. Duno wtf saying

Brogdon was actually their starter before he got injured. This isn't really a kneejerk but going back to their normal plan


Still wrong decision and still a knee jerk. They didnt need it.

he's the same guy that was against the raptors trading demar. He Probably has a long piece written about that trade, and need the raptors to lose.

I swear Doug is low-key hoping the Raps lose in 7 so his summer can start.

Hate this guy's writing, perspective and tone.

Go away Doug. You will not be missed.

This doesn't feel real to me.... One game away from an NBA finals.... I've been so traumatized the last few years I can't tell what's real :'( I hope this is really going to happen. Kawhi needs to guide us.

What teams in the post Jordan era that have made the conference finals/finals have been as good defensively as this version of the raps?

2012-2014 pacers?

Pistons?

First year champion warriors?


GS doesnt touch them nor Pacers.
Definitely the 2004 pistons. And raps doing it in2019 is even harder considering how the game has changed with it being more offence oriented

Still gotta win the next one before celebrating.

The Raptors have been to the Eastern Conference finals before. We're looking for the finals

A lot of Kawhi praise of course, but a ton of praise for Nurse and his in-game adjustments; and his adjustments throughout the series.

As well as how much he's helped Kawhi grow as a player, and the position he's put him and the team in to succeed. A lot of positive reinforcement in the case we've made to re-sign Kawhi as well.

I watched every minute of that 2004 Pistons run and I must say, considering the rules of today's NBA, that the Raptors defence is just as good as the 2004 Pistons (though a little less consistent).
