You’re right. Guys that miss a game in the Finals because of an injury, always come back 100% healthy 48 hours later.

It will be 5 days since he didn't play last night

Ok, if you believe that an athlete in professional sports who suffers a strained hamstring and misses a game of the finals will come back healthy after 5 games, then I don't know what to tell you.

I watched a video on espn of lowry supposedly being pushed by a fan but I never Lowry get pushed in the video because the camera shot is bad. If a player is chasing after the ball and comes crashing into you, The fan should be able to hold the player temporarily to close down his momentum and to minimize the impact taken by the fan unless the fan was able to get out of the way of the player which is not always the case from a player going after the basketball into the crowd. But since that fan was apparently 2 seats away from where Lowry landed in the crowd and reached over to push Lowry than that fan was way out bounds. I still like a see of video of Lowry getting pushed though.

That video I clearly saw the reach of the fan to push Lowry that I couldn't see in the video on espn. That fan had some nerve to push him.

Thank you.

The enamor of being in the finals is over and the Raptors are not going to choke again like they did in game 2. I see us taking game 4 as well.

if you're KD do you even come back and risk a worse injury? (G Hill, Penny)

Yeah, raps are the better team even when Klay is playing, I think that's been proven as they have controlled most of the quarters throughout the series.

It's hilarious though, a championship team who swept a WCF opponent and beat a tough rockets team without KD, everyone calling them that 73 win team again, Curry playing at an all time high and now they need another finals MVP to beat the raps?

I think people need to respect the raptors, their game plan has been terrific for the most part aside from that 2nd/3rd quarter with refs taking over in game 2 and then 3rd Q where raps missed everything- warriors on a 18-0 run.

This is all great for KD's legacy, not so much for Curry.

Which they can. Klay gets extra rest to get stronger and they can still tie up the series. Not really sure what's so dumb about it. :dontknow:

With Durant and Klay possibly returning in game 4, it's over for the raps. They had a good run but it's time to go home

Yeah, without that fluke 3rd quarter run by the Warriors, Toronto won every quarter. They should have won that game.

Orlando Magic fans, you guys should be proud of your team.

And also thank Gasol for exposing Nikola V.

Totally agree. There was no reason to do that. I do think Lowery was acting like a little baby though. He had more contact with the chair he ran into than that fan. Also, why was he complaining to the ref? Isn't there floor security that would have kicked the guy out right away?

If they lose the next game the series is over man.

They will regret that loss . 3-0 would be huge with kd and Klay returning. Now gas will get them in 6 games
