Kawhi Leonard these 2 games has been averaging 28/11/4 on 37%FG along with 3.5 TO's
Steph Curry: 28/4/4 on 40%FG and 2 TO's
How is it not even close?
So much for today's era not playing defense, the two best offensive players in the NBA are proving that theory wrong.

I think raps messed up quite a bit, letting them go on that 18-0 and missing wide open looks but other then that, if Lowry can stop being an idiot on some of those fouls and refs not trying to take over the game, raps should be fine.
It'll be tough in Oakland though, usually, guys just shoot better at home so lets see.
LOL Warriors with no KD, Cousins coming back from injury, Iguodala hobbled, Klay leaving during the game, and you're still crying. Gasol, Siakam, and Leonard are all all star caliber players with all-nba defense caliber play.
BTW, did you know the Raptors shot 3 more free throws than the Warriors.
YA BRO IT WAS THE REFS

Reffing was fine after the first half. Brutal, standstill offense to start the 3rd cost the Raps the game.
Underrated comment. If you had to bring it all down to the MAIN reason, this would be it. Even before Klay hadn't injured himself and with the reffing discrepancy in the first half I thought Raps were the better team up until then. Then the 18-0 happened and they crumbled. Warriors on the other hand adjusted and did what champions to do.
To be fair, this is their first Finals, and other than Kawhi the rest must've been pretty shook mentally on that run and that's what cost them the game.
That’s right. This is our first finals trip. Did people expect that we’d steamroll our way to a championship? I haven’t lost any hope.
The Raptors can win a game in Oakland.

Agreed. I find that trope about defense to be a bunch of BS. I don't think older games were bad, but man look at a game from the 80s and tell me these guys tonight weren't playing good defense hustling their butts off. (I am a child of the 80s, so I did watch... the guys now are just as good if not better).

Btw as of right now on paper the Raps are more stacked than this injured Warriors team & they’re still keeping up with the Raptors SMH.. that’s why I felt Milwaukee vs Warriors would’ve been a much better matchup.
Refs tried to have makeup calls in the second half for their disgraceful showing in the first half. Cousins finished with 5 fouls, he should have bene the one who fouled out instead of lowry as they missed the clear as day charge in the first half and lowry picked it up instead. Raps could have used lowry's three pt shooting in the second half.
The raptors were playing cautious all second half because they had a huge number of fouls by the end of the first. Also it should have been a 15 pt lead at the half. Refs are a disgrace, yea Mil vs GS might have been a better matchup, maybe the refs would have called a more fair game. Maybe...
EXACTLY... this is spot on

The alternative is Looney, who wouldn’t even be in the rotation for a championship team. He was the difference today IMO. They needed another creator, and someone to draw some attention away from the perimeter guys.
I don’t think Toronto can win a game at GSW. I’d be shocked if they did. GSW might be up 3-1 with KD back heading into a close out game. Toronto needed this one badly.

Choke, choke, choke. See reality bro.
Watch the game again then lmao. Klay was playing while the Warriors went on that 18-0 run.
I was just responding to the idea that the Raptors didn't choke, not when Klay was in or out. C'mon, you cannot deny the Raptors choked. 18-0 to open the 3rd is about as bad a choke job gets.
