Yup, was thinking the exact same.

Most of the others are more interested in the KD Soap Opera.

We shot 8 for 32 from three. The Warriors shot TWENTY for 42. My god that’s not happening again.

Nurse said he called it because he wanted to give our guys some rest before our final push. lol

Both teams get a rest,
it was the warriors that were faltering

Shut up

Warriors are depleted without KD and Looney. We played our worst game and lost by a point

Nevermind just realized your name


I'm a raps fan before a curry fan. I just got serious Lebronto vibes from this game. They clam up under pressure. Take Kawhi out of the game and we're beatable.


You clearly haven't been watching this team then. They had a bad shooting night and lost because of it. They still look very much in control of the series. The Warriors are throwing everything they can at the Raptors and just barely squeezed by. The Raps got this, no doubt. No one should have expected this to be a cakewalk, but the Warriors in general looks overmatched. The Raptors just need a couple of guys to hit their shots next game and they should be wrapping up this series.

Some of you talk like the Raptors should be able to just sweep their way to a championship. Relax.

You have to give yourself 2 chances to score! Holy FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! And if you score early, trust your defense. You do not hold for last shot trailing by 1. This isn't the regular season on the road down by 1 or 2 and you hold for the last shot to win or lose, either way you live with it scenario.


Dude, it's not like we were shooting for an NBA CHAMPIONSHIP!

Damn that right. It’s thursday, might not be enough time for the media to recover as they start a GoFundMe campaign for KDs next contract since apparently this injury is career threatening which is absolutely ridiculous.

I thought the same thing but I just went and re-watched.

Kyle was looking to call a time-out when Kawhi was bring the ball over half court. Kawhi looked at Kyle as well and signalled for a timeout, he was totally gassed.

So I was initially angry at Nurse, but it was our 2 best players making the call, so that makes that part more palatable.


I thought so too, but when Kawhi was asked about this in his press conference, he didn't seem to know exactly why Nurse called the timeout.

He said he just assumed that he was trying to give them rest.

I'm in absolute shambles right now. Up 6 with 3 minutes to go and we have possession, and we give up a 9-0 run to choke it. These next 2 days are gonna be absolutely brutal.

It’s unfortunate KD went down with a serious injury. I genuinely feel bad for him. But he’s not gonna be there anymore, and we all saw what happened the last 2 games without him there. Raptors just need one of the next two, and I’m confident they’ll do it. Prob next game.

You know what!? I'm going to be positive and say that the extra days off benefited the Warriors more than it did the Raptors as the Warriors came out with a lot of energy in the first quarter and the Raptors took a while to get it going. As sweet as it would've been to win the championship in Toronto, it'll be even sweeter to win it in GS. Having the fans sit there and the Raptors get announced as the champs will be really nice indeed.

That last possession was so poor... Kawhi held the ball way too long and then a dash up 3 from lowry... They just needed a 2. I understand there is tons of pressure but they choked hard, like a boa wrapped around a deers neck.

I thought the same thing but I just went and re-watched.

Kyle was looking to call a time-out when Kawhi was bring the ball over half court. Kawhi looked at Kyle as well and signalled for a timeout, he was totally gassed.

So I was initially angry at Nurse, but it was our 2 best players making the call, so that makes that part more palatable.
After that, we choked a bit. Its 103-97.
Out of the time out, Draymond fouls, we had the ball side out.
Kawhi drives it into the key, well defended, forces up a tough one, airball.
Kyle and Fred DOUBLE Curry, Curry chucks it out to Klay, Kawhi is out there guarding both Draymond and Klay alone, Draymond sets a great screen for Klay, Kawhi can't get around it, and Klay hits a big 3. Its now 103-100

Kyle had a wide open 3 when we were down 3 with 2:10 left and 7 seconds left on the shot clock, misses it. It was a good shot, just missed it.

Next play was the Cousins offensive goal tending call / replay.
We get the ball, 2 minutes left, Kawhi gets it, could have driven it against Cousins but instead pulls it back out to Kyle with 8 seconds left, Kyle I guess wanted to drive and kick it out to Gasol, and throws it away. Ouch.

We're up by 3, with 1:30 to go. Curry running off a screen at full speed hits a 3. I mean wow.

We are tied with 1:15 left, I thought that this would be a great place to call a timeout.
No play called, Kawhi dribbles it up, takes a contested 3 point shot with 14 seconds left on the shot clock. Hits front of the rim.

Warriors come down with 1 minute to go, pass the ball beautifully and Klay pump fakes Kawhi, hits a 3.

Were down 3, Gasol drives with 48 seconds to go, I thought he was fouled by Cousins, no call.
Then an over and back call on Draymond. Our ball.

Kyle nice drive right away, were down 1 with 29 seconds to go.

We get SUPER lucky with that offensive foul call on Cousins on Fred. I couldn't believe they called that.

15 seconds left ,we are down by 1.... we get possession of the ball and chance to win the NBA Championship.... and we don't call a time out.........

Kawhi drives, great defence by Klay and Iguodala to close off the lane, kicks it to Fred, who makes a nice pass to Lowry, gets blocked by Draymond and the whole country is in shock.....

Just wow, this one hurts man.



All three threes were CLUTCH! Kudos to them. I think Kyle had time to wait for Green to fly by him. He saw him coming, and than launch. I think there was time..


Oh boy, I don't know. Just re-watched it again. I think you have to try and take that shot. A double clutch and you might not even give yourself a chance. I don't blame him for that shot.

Getting lucky with that Cousins offensive foul at 15 seconds and not calling a time out, I think was the biggest glaring mistake.

It’s definitely possible when you have Green/Lowry/Powell trying to guard either of the two.

The reason for their high point total was FVV got into early foul trouble.
