Wow - what a terrible take. They were happy to let Steph have his glory and wear him out. I can hardly remember the margin within 10 from the second half onwards.

This was total domination

Let's be honest, the Warriors are legit warriors, but they're lucky they're not down 3-0.

What a great win.


Great win? Raptors HAD to win this game. If they didnt. Series was over. If KD and Klay return next game, the series is still over. Raptors gave themselves a chance.


Every win in the finals is a great win. I don't care about the circumstances, A W is a W. We'll take it!



Warriors fans forgetting they were gifted a championship because of Cavs injuries? Hmm..

I think both Klay and KD will lace em up in G4 now, they can’t afford to go down 1-3, especially without home court

The team Lebron hand-picked, had his agent negotiate giant contracts for, and then had a costar refuse to play with him any longer?

I remember them. Good memories.

If KD was healthy the Raptors would be down 0-3.

If you want to play “what ifs” you have to see it both ways.


How about Bogut gets his two points and Ibaka gets called for those goaltends?

All of the sudden it's a two point game with two minutes left. We can do this bull all day long.


Can I play? :)

How many series’ have the Warriors benefitted from playing a shorthanded team due to injuries to key players?

Warriors need either Klay or Durant back. Curry is the best player on the court but Toronto just throws 2-3 guys at him and forces unproven journeymen to make a play. Draymond and Iguodala are great but primarily defensively, the roster falls off a cliff offensively after Curry.

Saw the replay, after he actually caught the all he didn't even take 2 steps let alone 3 steps. Not even close to a travel.



If you want a travel..go watch Steph at the end of game 2. :nod:

Wasn't even close to a travel if you watch the replay. After catching the ball he took 1 step.

Nah. LeBron probably beats the full strength Warriors with this Warriors team tonight. Him, Dray and Iggy defensively would lock KD Steph and Klay down.

People are acting like Steph wasn't playing with an all pro and DPOY caliber player. The Warriors had the supposed 1st and 3rd best players tonight on the court. Ridiculous for Mark Jackson to say they wouldn't make the playoffs and just feeds into that stupid narrative.

The 4th quarter of game 1 last year surpasses it imo.

But these refs were simply awful tonight. I didn't trust them to get a single call right in this game.


Not even close... that was a couple of bad calls and the Cavs STILL could have won if they just hit their damn FTs.

The last 2 games in this series have been riddled with poor and missed calls. Easily well into double digits in both games.

Warriors at 109 again tonight. They can’t get to 110

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.
