Re: Toronto Raptors win 2019 NBA Championship.
Congrats to the San Antonio Raptors. Khawi and Danny's development in the system with the Spurs paid off again by showing us years of playoff experience matter. Awesome. I honestly do believe the Wahriors will dismantle the core and rebuild, no more superteam for Kerr to lean on autopilot and inherit championships ala phil Jackson w/MJ, Kobe, Shaq etc.. !

Re: Toronto Raptors win 2019 NBA Championship.
As an outsider (who hates GS), this feels weird and sad. Like I know injuries are a thing, but not generally to this extent. Same feeling as 2015, but flipped.
But congrats Toronto, I hope Kawhi comes to LAL and saves us
GS in serious trouble next season.
No KD, Klay, and likely Boogie.

Happy for the veterans and class acts Lowry and Gasol finally winning their ring. So much for the narrative of Gasol brothers being soft they now have 3 rings and Marc was arguably Raptors 2nd best, Pau gas clearly 2nd best.
Top 10 defensive team ever. Top 5 individual playoff run from Kawhi. Great run by them.

Did you watch Danny Green this years playoffs? he was terrible and saved by FVV on multiple occasions.

Re: Toronto Raptors win 2019 NBA Championship.
Congrats to the Raptors. This was the real meaning of faith. It was meant to happen. Go get drunk somewhere dudes, you've been waiting for this for a while.
On the other hand bizarre series for the Warriors. They showed the heart of a champ, just wasn't meant to be for them this year. Asked in other threads, but I don't know if this has ever happened in any other Finals- 2 of the top 3 players going down with some major injuries. Stay strong Warriors.

Re: Toronto Raptors win 2019 NBA Championship.
Warriors, Cavs and Raptors combine to win the last 5 Championships!
If you told me this in the early 2000s at the height of the Kobe/Shaq Lakers and when the Cavs and Warriors were lottery teams and the Raptors a low playoff seed (and the 3 teams combining for having a really long title drought), i would have a really hard time believing it. Yet here we are.
Gives hope to a lot of teams that have yet to win a championship...

Were both that major? I mean imo Klay and Durant are kinda done for next season as well... And they both got hurt against the Raptors.
Anywho, as I said before, well deserved. It was faith working it's ways here.

Re: Toronto Raptors win 2019 NBA Championship.
Congrats to the Raptors. Drafting Siakam, trading for Kwahi, Danny and Marc, re-signing Lowry and Ibaka to reasonable deals and hiring Nurse, they've made great moves to build this winning team. The city of Toronto truly deserves this title.
As for Warriors, sad end to their amazing run but no need to feel bad for them, 3 championships in 5 years is still good.

Re: Toronto Raptors win 2019 NBA Championship.
people talking about the sixers game winner but there was still another 5 mins if he misses
The Milwaukee game 3. Went to double OT. Giannis fouled out. Very close to going down 0-3 and being down
Then game 6 bucks blew a 16 point lead after 26-3 run in 4th quarter
The bucks choked away a championship so hard
