Truth. Klay CARRIED the Warriors in the 1st half.

Raps really did fail today and it has nothing to do with refereeing. There were couple bad call against them, but refs did gave those all back by calling bad calls against GSW. If you let couple bad calls affect your game you are mental midget and a loser, so you don't deserve to win. I really doubt Raps let those bad calls to affect their game too much. They just were awful.

In last two games both Lowry and Kawhi have not shot well. In first game it was the rest of the team that saved their ass. Now the rest of the team did fail too especially Siakam. If you teams best scorers all shoot 40% or less you have very little hope of winning. In GSW side only Klay had a great game and it was enough, because there wasn't a single player in Raptors who could say he had a good offensive day. If Raps want to win maybe Kawhi and Lowry should wake up. They are the 2 most important players in Raps. They can't survive if they play badly.

We got f-cking screwed. VanVleet & Powell turned into Splash Brothers 2.0 against us.

Maybe that would be true if the warriors were not the walking wounded. Raps would have won this game had they shot better. Still anyone's series.

Hope Klay is okay. This series is done if he isn’t back barring a heroic KD return. Warriors will struggle to get triple digits with just Steph and role players.

If the refs keep trying to keep the game close, yup it will be, close games do not favor the raptors, when they legitimately should be up big, they cannot let the zebras make what should be a 15-20 pt game into a 5 pt game at the half

Raptors won’t win another game. Its done.

They won without Klay AND KD. As a Cavs fan I would have killed to get this GS team the last few years.


Tyrone lue is as good as a coach as Kerr...pretty sure Toronto would kill to have that coach
Pay your beals....or its lights out!!!
Bron, Bosh, Wade is like Mike, Hakeem, barkley...3 top 5 picks from same draft

Warriors had 26 fouls to Raps 22

So refs weren't favouring them in foul calls..we can scratch that part of.

GTFO lol. Were there bad calls in favour of the Warriors? Yes. There were just as bad calls favouring the Raptors... and this is towards the end of the game.

Raptors blew this, pure and simple. No KD, no Klay, no Looney... and you guys still lost AT HOME.


All of Toronto's players were in foul trouble in the FIRST HALF, obviously they could play no defense in the second half. Refs were TRYING TO MAKEUP for the fact there was no KD, no looney etc.


Oh yeah you're right. I'm so sorry I didn't recognize how all those foul caused the Raptors to miss everything and go scoreless for 6 minutes on that 18-0 Warriors run.

Seriously. Bitching about and blaming the refs for the loss just make you look silly and petty.

Series is not over but it really hurts for the Raptors to drop a game they should have won. Got to win
a game in Oakland but its much harder to win when Durant is playing.

That horrible start to the 3rd quarter killed the Raps. They forgot how to score. They fought back, but not enough. I’m sure everyone going to start overreacting in the other direction now as always.
