GSW are the clear favorites...but the Raptors will put up a good fight.

Warriors have the best player, the best style of play, the best defender, the best coach, the best shooting, they've been resting for what - a week? and Toronto have been slugging it out for an extra two games.

The Warriors probably win.. but best player and best defender are 100% debatable.

Hope Durant doesn’t come back.

Yea they look good without him right now but our defense is a beast and they’re kindof thin right now.

Oh and Kawhi **** leonard

Raptors swept the season. Even without kawhi once

However..we have not played them with gasol

Is gasol a gsw killer or will he be too slow?

Curry and Thompson are the key to this series

Kawhi > Curry
Lowry = Dray
Siakam = Klay
Gasol > Looney
Green = Igoudala

Fred > Livingston
Ibaka > Bogut
Norm > McKinnie

Yeah I don’t get the GSW easy win thing at all.

I'd love to see Nick Nurse try to play a big lineup of Gasol and Serge at the same time against the Warriors lol.

Congrats to the raps for making the NBA finals. My wife and I were rooting for you.

Finally the Raptors lack of size from their guards will stop killing them.

I don't know who will win, but Kawhi is gonna feast big this series. This will be the softest defense he goes up against all playoffs.

removed

east non allstar >= west all star too much lols

All the pressure is technically on the Warriors which should help but if anyone is legitimately doubting a team that just won 4 games in a row in the playoffs against what was considered the at least 2nd best team in the league is off base.

This is the worst take ever. Siakam = Klay? LOL.. Try to suggest that trade to management lol...

probably being generous to Klay, tbh. the analytics say Klay is the most overrated player in the league, by a lot.

anyways, Klay isn't even outscoring Pascal anymore.

I got Raptors in 7....lots of people will be surprised by how tough the Raptors will be because of their defense & Kawhi.

They're gonna need KD to hang with us

I wonder which arena will have louder fans? Might be raps this time. Congrats!

Raptors could surprise some people. Don't sleep on their defence.

Who's the champ?
