NBA Finals Thread #8: Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors | TOR LEADS 3-2

[Edrees]

Warriors are 2-2 in the series when Klay plays. And they are playing at home. I think this goes 7 but raptors win game 7

[Spanish_Laker]

Series over. Same pattern we saw in 2016. Incoming GS blowout win at home and then Toronto will choke for 3rd straight time at home. They don't deserve it.

[GM Wotsup]

Game had just about everything. Even with Dray and Boogies assistance in dyin minutes Raps throw it away. Anyhow who called that terrible timeout.

I still can't believe Lowry hit the back of the backboard on the shot for the championship

Although Warriors won in game 5, I can see them in trouble for game 6. Raptors have won both in the house.
But i would put my money on Warriors, they are proven and tested. They need some energy booster from the bench, I am not sure who will give that if Looney isnt there.. Cousins would likely to start

[DonaldSanders]

These Raps fans trying to normalize/rationalize/excuse/talk-bout-what-about-Fred-f*cking-Van-Vleet this are nearly as deplorable as the ones who proudly cheered an injury to one of the best basketball players in the world. Possibly worse, since they don’t have any “we didn’t realize” excuse of their own.

The only acceptable response—which some have voiced—is: “I’m embarrassed for those fans, there’s no excuse for them, and they don’t speak for me.”

Many Americans r saying f Canada for cheering when they did the same thing is what we call hypocritical. Both sides were wrong to cheer an injury, but the disgusting hyprocisy must be pointed out so that both sides learn proper behaviour.

False Equivalence.

Potential Career altering injury that also may have decided the NBA finals vs. A dude who got a little bloody and didn't miss a game and is still hitting 3s like a beast. C'mon bruh.

Warriors in 7. No way they lose all 3 games at home. If the Raps win it'll be in 7.

It was supposedly partially blocked. Would explain it.

GS is still going to lose. Lost in the KD mess is the fact that Looney is gone again.. that means horrible defense featuring Cousins is hear to stay for the rest of the series.

Toronto really crapped the bed tonight.... not even getting up shots in multiple times in crunch time

I'm not optimistic about the rest of the series but Looney is playing Game 6 apparently.

Really? Interesting... he looked pretty jacked up out there... but I guess its just a pain thing

From local media reports, it sounds like he's getting shot up at the beginning of every game and it wears off as the game goes on. Maybe he can only play in the first half, or he can sit out the first half and they shoot him up at halftime or something

Maybe not the best thing to speculate about given the current criticisms of the Warriors training staff though...

Eh. hopefully Raps take game 6. Do it on the road like the 98 Bulls yo.

[GameChannel]

I still think Raptors take game 6. Not expecting any Miracles from GSW. They're decimated with injuries and Raptors are in a zone.

[Saciid11]

I don’t know how warriors can feel confident knowing Raptors laterally gave this game away. Raptors shot the ball poorly, gave up 20 threes to warriors and yet only lost by one point. Raptors had 6 point lead less then two minutes and nick Nurse calls time out. Lowry had 3 turnovers in span of less then 2 minutes .. we take 3 pointers when we only needed 2 pointers to win the game.

Raptors ain’t losing game 6 like this again, Nick Nurse is not going to make bonehead time out and we ain’t shooting this badly from 3 ...

[valrond1]

The Warriors got really lucky there. They barely won by 1 and could have easily lost. The Raptors outplayed the Warriors again, but the stupid 3 point shooting make a lot of the gameplay irrelevant. Warriors shot 20/42 from 3 vs the Raptors that did only 8/32. That's 36 more points in just 10 more shots taken. And still they won by ONE. Barely. It looks like the Warriors need a lot of luck, lights out 3 shooting, and Toronto failing a lot of 3s to have a chance at winning.

Splash Bros 'nuff said.

[bakafool]

Raps have no excuse not to win this game.

[Deep1984]

Stressful times, is this the best series in a long time? I think so or it might be because I’m a Raps fan.

What were Lowry's turnovers? I thought he only had 1 TO in the 4th, 2 for the game?

Warriors tried to give the game away as well.

Cousins offensive goaltending. Draymond backcourt violation. Cousins defensive goaltending. Cousins offensive foul.

[basketballRob]

All the good will the Raptors had got thrown away when they cheered KD getting injured.
