Dwane Casey and Derozan are as much a part of this success - Ujiri

i wonder if guillermo from jimmy kimmel is going to do his usual NBA finals media segment this year since its in toronto

Sportnet just mentioned they saw Jimmy Kimmels name in the schedule for some interviews

[Michael Jordan]

I feel like a lot of us are gonna complain about Draymond Green getting away with fouls, techs, and moving screens.

Hopefully we send a message to the refs early but I wouldn't hold my breath on anything changing. Like Embiid, his "reputation" prevents the refs from blowing their whistle when he commits obvious fouls.

I could see if the Raptors jump to an 2-0 lead. Kerr will bring back Durant the Superman early and then Nurse brings out OG the Batman. Whatever it takes.

People stop me on the street all the time and ask, what's our story Throwback?

No matter your specific age grouping, in high school we were all watching some version of this team. In some cases, some of us had no idea what +/- even meant. From watching legends like Lenny Wilkins coach this team to transitioning to Kevin O'neill, we watched this team evolve and devolve through multiple iterations. I'll never forget this one scene of Chris Bosh crying on the end of the bench in his rookie year (IIRC). That level of passion speaks volume.

There was a point in time some of us even pinned our hopes on one



I became a man watching this team. Every big moment. HS friends have come and go. The same applies to post secondary friends. Lovers. Jobs. Sunk in thoughts. Adulthood encapsulates that time lapse and growth. During our formative years, we watched a team littered in turmoil and instability. Give me any year and I can tell you exactly who the love of my life was. Who my favorite player on the team was. What my insignificant but real stresses and struggles were.

Our lives are about definitive change and significant crossroads. Over time it also becomes a question of making better choices and grasping with certain uncomfortable realizations.

Through every phase of our life, the Raptors were there. RealGM was as well.

When I ask where do we go from here, it's more than just a question. It's a partial statement on our rise from young impressionable boys to men. Finding our muse so to speak. My thoughts on the transformation of this team are also reflective of the transformations that have taken place in our personal lives.

When you persist, anything truly is possible.

Who would you be if you spent 12 months in the right environment? That's what better choices are about. The environment that will give you the best chance of staying on track. That's going to offer you progress as well as growth, and a real shot at actualizing and experiencing the strongest version of you.

Who we are friends. What's your story?



Would echo many of my same sentiments.

And where are we now? I extend to you the challenge of developing the same character and follow through. Our character gets exposed in times of weakness, I ask you too walk the walk friends.

ABC and ESPN are under the same umbrella, aren't they? Probably got told by his bosses to stop with the clickbait/trolling type of hot takes, and try to get fans hyped about the series.

That would make sense, they would lose ratings if it wasn't a finals worth watching.

I hope the refs let them play. A more physical game benefits us, especially with respect to guarding Curry. He still scores despite being beaten up but that will wear on him, especially if we attack him on defense.

I'm just TOO excited.

Based on RealGM polls I'm assuming Raptors fans predict their team will win the series if the present lineups stand (i.e. no KD, no Cousins for at least game 1). Who do you guys predict will win the series if KD comes back starting game 2 and Cousins is available for a few minutes beginning game 2?

I would like the JV to donate his cast and for the team to dedicate this series to avenging JV for Draymond's cheap shot. JV did say he would get Draymond to sign his cast after the Raptors beat the Warriors.

All praise Jonas Christ, superstar. He died for our wins.

what hotel is this? someone pull the fire alarm.

Fire alarm? start the party!!!

Seriously though... which hotel they at?

My friend was staying at the Ritz Carlton during the 76ers series and she saw them there. Maybe the NBA has an arrangement with them? Makes sense to have the same hotel for security procedures.
