2019 NBA Finals Thread, Part 1 | Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors

[xdrta+]

No lie -- I forgot about this series; haven't even been thinking about it. Warriors are so certain to win.

Unless it goes to 7, the ratings are going to bomb.

How do you figure? This is as uncertain as a warriors championship have been since they signed KD. And Canadian viewership is going to be an all time high

1). It is as uncertain as a Warriors championship since they signed KD, but that's because the last 2 years were excessively lopsided. It just went from "totally totally certain" that Warriors would win to just "totally certain." It's still certain!

2). Canadian viewership will be at an all-time high, but that's not some special feat; it's never been high before. What record is Canadian viewership going to beat?

Warriors already went through 2 teams that were better than Toronto -- Houston & Portland.

Troll me a river.

1/5 on the trolling attempt for the teams. Otherwise, just FYI, Canadian ratings don't count at all - the entire country could be watching and in the US it is the equivalent of 0 people.

GS wins because they execute like a machine, push tempo and get s nightly contribution from somebody 4-12. Raps win if they play physical, pound the glass and feast on the corner 3. Game 1 winner wins the series. Dubs in 6.

I don't think game 1 will be deciding for either team. Both teams are capable of winning 2 games in a row, imo..

I think it will be tough for the Raptors to win if they don't take advantage of KD being out.

One of the things I'm most concerned about is how the Raptors start out Game 1. They have a few players with Finals experience but I worry about them being too nervous of the start of the game. Being at home should help but it wouldn't surprise me at all to see two of their main go to guys (Siakam and Lowry) struggle with nerves at the start of the game.

Nah, Raptors are playing good defense, they can win even if they lose game 1. They have history of losing at home here and there, but they've been good enough to win away.

You are absolutely nuts if you think Portland is better than toronto

Raptors in 5 against Nurk-less Blazers. OKC has no excuses to lose that series lol

Do you know the best part? That the bucks arent in the finals. Even if the raptors lose in 4 i can sleep easy knowing that

Raptors need to keep their composure. Warriors will blitz with an all out assault and they’ve gotta handle it early.
