KD is low key celebrating with Raptors.

I know he's old for a second year player, but he still should improve for the next few years. But still. That was impressive.

No one because he's in his third year

Yeah but...see...like....ummm...

When you go and quote me, then it makes my mistake even more glaringly obvious!

Haha, it's all good, we all knew what you meant

Just for him to not play in the finals would suck

Yeah, Idk why you guys would play that McCaw scrub over Powell.

Warriors 23-23 from throw line

Not happening again

That game wasn't close. And its not because one team missed shots or whatever.

Boogie can't play. He couldn't beat his man back and after a tape session that's just not allowable. Iggy tweaked his calf.

I don't think GSW win even with KD.

Lowry plays dirty, refs oblige. Siakam will never play like this again. Raps fans think they just won a title.

Cant wait for fair officiating and the Warriors to put this crap away.

The difference defensively between Portland and Toronto couldn't be bigger.

I claimed Raps in 4 from the jump, though, if KD doesn’t play.

GSW don't have a 3rd player who can get 20 points, they can't score enough

I bet he's replaying Draymonds comments in his head right now. "We don't need you".

Can someone explain why kerr is so reluctant to use the green/curry pick and roll?

The problem is without KD they only have 2 shooting threats in Curry & Klay....you can sag off Draymond, Iggy, Looney, Bell, Livingston and dare them to shoot. Meanwhile the Raptors have shooters from 1-8....only guy you can sag off is Ibaka at the 3 point line.

Gasol trapped Curry on every PnR. If KD isn’t there to alleviate those swings, GS is going home with another Finals L.

- Marc Gasol played the PnR to perfection on defense

- Ibaka has one of the lowest basketball IQ's in the NBA

- Siakim had the game of his life, hit circus shot after circus shot, and that will not happen again this series

- Klay had an off game, but so did Lowry offensively. These two will cancel each other out with their consistent inconsistency

- Gasol took more ownership on offense tonight than at any point prior during the playoffs, posting up, floaters, etc.

- Iguodala will be severely hampered from here on out and it might cost GS the championship

- Boogie can play effectively against Toronto, despite his low numbers tonight I liked what I saw, and he should take a larger offensive role with Durant out and the perimeter defense swarming Klay and Curry

Raptors are probably the East's best chance to win over the West because of some distinct advantages

Homecourt(LBJ Cavs team probably wouldn't have that, Boston, Philly)
Top 5 player(Kawhi)
Core that has faced the Warriors(Gasol, Ibaka, Green, Leonard all faced GS in the playoffs, only CLE has more than 3 players that have)

Who da champs?!
