A lot of children on this board.

If you go back and look at the thread/s I think you’ll find a lot of people saying it was over after game 1.

Let's be real, you probably got the best player in the series, then it's Curry, Klay and Green(Green has been better than Lowry since Durant got injured), then it's mostly your guys Siakam, Lowry, Gasol, FVV, Ibaka. This isn't unfair or uneven match up by any stretch of the imagination.

Oh please the refs tried to do everything in their power to give the game to the Raptors last night.

The warriors offense went about 5 minutes without even scoring in the 4th quarter, I wouldn't say anybody on their team dominated late in the game either. Kawhi just got no help tonight in that 3rd quarter.
I wouldn’t disagree. The Warriors won the game with their 18-0 run and then trading buckets with the Raptors before going cold and holding on despite multiple turnovers late. It was a 7-8 point game with around 3 minutes left. The Warriors would have won more comfortably if not for Green’s turnover on the reviewed call. It was a 5 point game before that wasted possession with a minute left.

Game 2 was Kawhi putting up 34 and 14 playing against four all nba players and his only other offensive option was Fred Vanvleet, not sure how losing by 5 points is kawhi's fault. Warriors just have the better team even without Durant.

This really helps put the game in perspective.

hahahahahahahaha ha.

You're kidding right? The refs were terrible towards both teams.

How is it possible in the same thread you have people saying the refs rigged it for GSW and then a guy saying it was rigged for the raptors. They were just bad in general,

GS 26 fouls. Raps 22. Raps got a very friendly whistle in game 1 as well. No whining from the warriors. That’s neither here nor there. The Raps troubles can be summed up in the last play. As the ball goes from Livingston to Iggy, Siakim who had been trapping Curry is 35 feet from the basket guarding nobody. Iggy took forever to load up that shot and Siakim, whose man it was originally, made no effort to contest. To me he looked tired. Put a pen in that, we’ll come back to it.

What a wasted opportunity. Losing even though they got 12 more shots up. And plenty of clean looks too. Hurts even more now that I'm sober.

GS played with a ton of heart but man the raps let this slip away. Might cost them the series.

Good news is the raps have always bounced back before...but dammit this one was there for the taking.

And stop whining about the refs already. Refs were fine.

You're not wrong it is kinda even as you tell by the close games and the series being tied, but whenever Durant returns the warriors are gonna be heavy favorites. My comment was more of a jest towards the warriors.

OG Annuoby is back now but he didn't play game 2. If they play him in game 3, It should give the Raptors a boost. Also since the Warriors tied the series at 1-1, No way Durant is playing 3 they don't need him. If the warriors fell down 0-2 in the series than I would expect Durant for game 3 but obviously that's not the case.

I actually was only able to catch the 4th quarter so I cant speak for the rest of the game but those calls in the 4th all favored Toronto

Kawhi is hurt . He doesn’t look nearly as explosive as previous rounds . He has no lift.

None more crucial that the overturned out of bounds call (called GS ball live) that really looked like it glanced off Gasol’s left arm. 50/50 at best. Certainly not definitive.

Warriors are missing their best player, and last night, their 3rd best had to leave early. No excuses.

I actually wasn’t giving Kawhi an excuse, just giving Curry fan a dose of their own medicine. Don’t give excuses in the NBA. You are grown man, not a kid , get that excuse crap out of here. But at least you got something right, KD is the best player on the Warriors by a big margin .

It was getting pretty insane. Toronto was getting EVERY call in the 4th and then some. Also, let's not forget Kawhi not only getting away with multiple push-offs, but getting blocking fouls on them even. Kawhi's injury of Looney on a play like this could affect the series outcome.

what? You can clearly see the space between the ball and his arm. and the ball rotation or direction didn't change. Pretty clear

Refs tried to have makeup calls in the second half for their disgraceful showing in the first half. Cousins finished with 5 fouls, he should have bene the one who fouled out instead of lowry as they missed the clear as day charge in the first half and lowry picked it up instead. Raps could have used lowry's three pt shooting in the second half.

The raptors were playing cautious all second half because they had a huge number of fouls by the end of the first. Also it should have been a 15 pt lead at the half. Refs are a disgrace, yea Mil vs GS might have been a better matchup, maybe the refs would have called a more fair game. Maybe...

EXACTLY... this is spot on

RIGHT

So in the FIRST HALF while the Raptors were leading, the Refs were bad.
They were soooooo bad that in the 2nd half when it was "Fair" the Warriors went on an 18-0 run to start the 3rd.

Raptors had more FT than the Warriors. Lmaoooooooo

what really funny is that i called to my fellow warriors boss that the refs would by the end of the game when it was over, have make up calls which is exactly what they did, if you cannot see how that game was rigged in the first half than i don't know what to tell you, i agree the 18-0 run was more on the raps but the warriors had the confidence of being only in a 5 pt game.

Raps should have not been playing uphill in the second half after that run, becuase it should have been a 15 pt lead at the half. Also as soon as the game started getting close they made another atrocious call with that steph curry offensive lean in on pascal and called it on pascal instead. Even Steve J admitted it was a a terrible call.

Again any person watching the game closely can see how the refs tried to alter it. I don't care about the raptors getting calls when the game is already pretty much decided.

I'll tell you what, I'd rather the warriors get all those free throws from those bogus calls in the first half taken back and then they can take away the raptor free throws in the second half.

All i ask is the game not be interfered from the zebras and let the players decide the game. Again it was an utter disgraceful performance from the referees last night.

Who will win the series?
