I was born in Oakland and lived there for the first 5 years of my life before moving to SA. So I guess I can technically root for my hometown team. Feels kinda gross rooting for GS though :lol:

They're not a juggernaut without KD. Very beatable imo.

Jalen rose just broke it down

He said raptors will put D Green on Curry and nullify him. Lowry on Klay, kawhi on Iggy, The other raptor on draymond

And Gasol will get minutes because warrriors will be forced to play bogut

Raptors better bench

Are they going to switch on defense or fight through all the screens the Warriors set? I can’t see Bogut playing more than 10-12 minutes a game.

The Raptors won in Oakland without Kawhi and beat GS in Toronto without Curry and Draymond. Not a lot to go off of right there.

hyped for this. also from a visual standpoint, raptors vs warriors series should be a great one, contrast of black/red vs yellow/blue.

hope warriors don't wear the black/gray away jerseys tonight.

not rooting for one team or the other, would like to see one of those insane Klay games where everything he throws up goes in. or kawhi full on beast mode on both ends of the court.

hyped hyped hyped for this.

Kawhi then and now:

2019 Finals

Game 7 Prediction
Golden State 141, Toronto 139 (4OT) (Warriors win 4-3) (Note: 3rd game in the series to go into OT)

King Kawhi the Sensational KLaw: 49 pts, 12 rebs, 8 asts, 3 stls, 1 blk
Pascal Siakam: 26 pts, 10 rebs, 3 asts, 2 blks
Serge Ibaka: 18 pts, 7 rebs, 1 ast, 2 blks
Kyle Lowry: 14 pts, 5 rebs, 10 asts

Steph Curry: 26 pts, 5 rebs, 8 asts
Draymond Green: 25 pts, 11 rebs, 10 asts, 2 stls
Andre Iguodala: 22 pts, 7 rebs, 5 asts, 1 blk
Demarcus Cousins: 16 pts, 9 rebs, 4 asts, 1 stl
* Kevin Durant scores 13 pts

Well-fought Toronto, and Kawhi has established himself as the greatest basketball player in the world. Kawhi joins Jerry West as the only Finals MVPs from the losing team.

Who da champs?!
