I saw some really damn good defense by Draymond and Iggy. Draymond was ALL over him, it was huge.

Did we watch a different game? Raps would have been up 15+ going into the first half if it wasn't for the blantant one side officiating. Warriors deserve an asterisk next to this game. Wrapped up, and put in a pretty bow. Pathetic.

oh sod off duster. One sided officiating? Kawhi couldn't be breathed on. Gasol should have fouled out in the First half with his offensive fouls. The same goes for Kawhi who puts his shoulder and elbow down every single time "OOOOH SOOO STRONG" he initates the contact yet gets the favorable whistle. :roll:

Pure delusion. I'll take the passionate fans over the bandwagons who just became fans this year.

But you don't know which ones are which...And the same could be said right back to you..Toronto fans out of the woodwork...

Raps got jobbed in the first half. Should have been up atleast 15. Second half officiating was good though. All in all Raps dropped the ball, cant go cold for a 6 minute stretch and not make up the gap with Looney and Klay out.

Now the narrative is going to be that the warriors won without klay. Meanwhile, klay played the bulk of the game and was absolutely excellent. He left and they cut it to a single digit game.

Corrupt a$$ league

Lowry fouls on nearly every possession, he could foul out in the first quarter if we're being real about it.

Paul Pierce is absolutely awful at his job. His big takeaway was is that Toronto "didn't want it bad tonight". Just awful. It is embarrassing that ESPN hired him.

He was doing the same thing last game but the refs were not calling those. They decided to call them tonight. You can't really blame him if the refs are not consistent on how they call fouls.

NickAnderson · Post #2433 » by **NickAnderson** » Mon Jun 3, 2019 2:55 am

Kawhi had 16 free throws

JimmerAllStar · Post #2434 » by **JimmerAllStar** » Mon Jun 3, 2019 2:55 am

The law of averages really screwed the Bucks. The Raptors made all their shots against the Bucks, and now the misses are being gifted to the Warriors.

Ice Trae · Post #2435 » by **Ice Trae** » Mon Jun 3, 2019 2:55 am

Cousins was a killer this game tho. Just made right play after right play. HUGE game from him.

Except the Raptors won game 1, so even if this goes to just 5 games we'd play another game at home.

Can easily see Raptors take a game in Oakland and back to Toronto tied 2-2

Esp. if Klay is banged up

I thought Dubs in 6 but leaning toward Dubs in 7 now......

With KDs possible return looming, time is against them though. Would've been huge had they defended home court.

They absolutely belong, which is why they’re here.

Can’t wait to read these post game takes

No the raptors don't belong.
Games like tonight are why I think there should be some kind of tournament leading up to the Finals where teams have to prove they belong and deserve to advance. Like idk maybe have 30 teams play 82 games against each other, and then the top 16 teams move on and play several 7 game series against each other to decide who belongs in the Finals.

Who's getting those rings?
