Raptors swept the season series. Only logical conclusion to take away from that is that they will sweep this series as well.

You guys should be proud. Also, you're welcome on Nikola V's contract 8-)

Raptors in 7 thus completing their Cinderella story run to the championship.

Also is it too early to complain about the refs?

Let’s not crap on the raptor fans moment. They 100% deserve to enjoy it as much as any fanbase.

I don't think you have to worry much about Livingston, he's barely playable at this point on both ends.

I want to see if Gasol and Ibaka can hold up at center against Curry on the perimeter. They've been effective so far in the postseason, but guarding against Curry in space is a whole different animal from anything they've faced yet.

Us Warrior fans are currently unsure of whether we actually want Cousins back for this series.

Should be a good series.

Also feels good that everyone thinks we’re going to get dominated.

Being underdogs with home court advantage? I’ll take it

Pretty sure you don't. Gasol is gonna be unplayable if cousins isn't playing

I’d love to. But the comments on here is pure comedy.

FYI, the series goes 6 games MAX. Warriors WIN and a Curry FMVP.

Raptors have defended GSW well this year. This is before Gasol trade so it's mostly Ibaka out there and he did fine.

Watch on YouTube

I like the Raptors. Been watching them all season. This is a special team and they deserve this opportunity to win a title. In this moment, everything tells me that the Toronto Raptors will be NBA Champions.

Kawhi leonard coming in to these finals averaging 31/9/4 on 62% TS with elite defense and beating teams better than LeBron ever did in the east relative to their supporting cast. 4 wins away from the greatest playoff peak in NBA history. Being able to go to the finals with a franchise for the first time ever and defeat a team with 5 straight finals and doing it while putting up those numbers, GOAT playoff peak.

Tim Leg made a good point. Bucks passing became predictable and easy to defend, despite the insane spacing they have with Giannis. Golden State is much less predictable. Especially without KD isos.

I think if there is any team that can emulate what the Cavs did to the Warriors in 2016 it would be this Raptors team.

Nah, the Warriors are always a draw and Kawhi is the player of the moment in the leauge.

This isn't the 2005 Spurs vs Pistons.

your argument would be more convincing if you were able to give reasons for it.

Who's the champ?
