I guarantee MJ would have either gotten off a shot or sucked in the defense and dished on that last possession.

Kawhi waited WAY too long to initiate the play. Not having a killer first step hurt him there too

That offensive interference call was out of the cylinder and clearly coming off. Not sure why they couldn't correct that call on the replay.

It's because if they can't come to a decision the ruling on the floor stands, the refs probably weren't sure about the call and called it hoping a replay would show it more clearly but they couldn't get a good angle but to me it looked more out than in.

No it's because you can't soft double like that when your guy is on the other side of the restricted area. Iggy literally left Lowry all the way on the other side and zoned up over to Kawhi.

I don't blame Lowry for missing the shot. I blame Gasol for not doing jack **** to Draymond with any kind of screen. You know Lowry is open in the weakside because it's his guy doubling. How do you not stop to think to flare/hammer screen the weakside corner when you're European and have been playing against zones your entire life.


Huh? This has nothing to do with my point. That kind of crap wouldn't work on MJ (or Lebron or several other guys) because they are better ball handlers with much better court vision and passing skills. FFS

That's debtable. MJ didn't see those types of looks because of illegal defense rules. If anything he probably would've forced up a heavily contensted mid-range jumper over that kind of soft double since that's what MJ did. You're out of your mind if you think MJ is gonna split a Klay and Iggy trap at the elbow with someone camping in the paint LMFAO. Even LeBron would've passed over the top of them and found Lowry wide open, not try to anklebreak his way out of that lololol. People really be saying **** without looking at time and situation
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

I remember when Iguodala used to do cross-overs, drive and dunk the ball. I'm wondering if he can summon up a vintage performance or two. The Warriors need a third guy.

if your going to troll at least do better.. hardly a choke job when your down all game


Then can you tell me the name of your postgame thread in the Raptors board ? Is it "PG: We Choked"
Are you going to quote that poster or not ? Be coherent and less hypocrite :wink:

https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1849932


Well for one Im not on that board posting right now, and don't agree with one guy who named a thread. Since when does one thread title mean something is fact? Nothing hypocritical about what I said. Are you sure you know what the word means? LIke seriously? To be a hypocrite it would have had to be me who started that thread or at least agreed with it.. Man like I said try harder.

this series has been so weird with the road-court advantage! Warriors probably wish the next two games were in Toronto.

Unbelievable player. Hope the injury isn't serious.

RAPS fans universally disagree. Sad.

GSW has to shoot lights out and hold TOR to poor shooting to barely win 2 games in a row.

I still like the Raps.


Only a matter of time now, this GSW team can't beat Toronto 3 times in a row.

Killed the momentum.

Only team that should be calling a timeout during that run is Golden State. I can't remember the last time I saw a team that was rolling call a timeout.


Exactly.

If Kerr called it, no problem! That would have been great timing. For Nurse it was dumbfounding.

GSW looked like they were fading, guys were tiring, momentum was taking over. Nurse calls an inexplicable timeout allows them to regroup, refocus and bang down shots.

Just a horrid decision.

His stat line looks good but he didn't play well

You do realize Raptors aren't even trying to guard iggy or Draymond? They double curry every time he has the ball. Then curry is the main ball handler and has to defend fred or Lowry. How much energy do you expect 1 man to have?



You guys need to stop making excues for curry. I don't think Curry has played a lick of defense this whole series to be honest, lol. They have been trying to hide him the whole series. He should have plenty of energy on the offense end.

What a total lack of class on the part of the fans cheering KD's injury. I'm glad they didn't get to celebrate tonight.

Kawhi has been traveling on offensive possessions for years. He is Harden level of irritating with his flopping and travels.

Cmon, thats why Jordan is the goat, he know how to break down double team, plus his first step is so quick its impossible to double team him.

After watching the Raptors choking game 1 against the Bucks then getting blown out after game 2 then end up wining last 4 games. I think they are going to blow out the Warriors next game, imo.

The Warriors was red hot from the three point line and only won by 1 point...
