2019 NBA Finals Thread #4: Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors | TIED AT 1

[minami]

To many scrubs on the floor I want to see the best players play I don't understand how anybody can enjoy watching this

This is the NBA biggest stage of the year

Raptors are playing great/respected players actually, with the odd surprise in Van Vleet (Siakam definitely not a scrub), and possibly a top 3 player in Leonard.

GSW might have managed the whole thing badly if you look at it, but that doesn´t make it any less deserved for Toronto. I am enjoying some karma after the Zaza-Leonard affaire in fact.

[sixerswillrule]

Yeah that should of been a 4 point play...Refs are so bad lmao

Not after missing the travel call, can’t compound it more by giving a FT too

You check out the replay? No way he took 3 steps after picking up the ball.

[killacalijatt]

Dubs legit BRICKED WIDE OPEN 3s.

Green airballed 2 3s
Cousins dnt even get me started.
Rest of the scrubs were ass

[durden_tyler]

Any guesses on the series odds after Game 3?

Best value to bet on Golden State, and can't get any better if they pull it off.

[everdiso]

Raps have won 10 of 12 quarters this series.

[G35]

Oh please i´ve praised Curry but this is a team game. Look at how well Toronto plays when Leonard is not in ISO mode.

Yes it's a team game and Curry's teammates were nowhere to be found. They could not hit open shots, they couldn't make lay-ups, they turned the ball over and they didn't make up for it by playing some great defense.

The Raptors play well when Kawhi's not in ISO mode because they have good players who can play on and off the ball.

Curry gravity though...
His help didn’t show up...
Jimmy help didn’t show up
Gianna’s help didn’t show up
Paul George help didn’t show up
Jokic help didn’t show up

Agreed, some players get a lot of excuses made for them that other players don't get......

Curry with 47 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assist, 2 steals.
He can do this in his sleep.
Is there even a debate that MJ is better than him?
Undisputed GOAT.

No one else is gonna comment on this?

For what? Can’t fault the kid for being born in 2003. Let him believe what he wishes.

[B-Ball Freak]

Steph Curry just had the game of his playoff life.

What a performance by him, he had to score damn near 50 just for this game to be respectable.

[Jay 20]

Huge travel not called lol

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.

He left the ground to get through the trap and landed before he passed. That's how I saw it live.

[killacalijatt]

Lenard has been ass. No way he deserves FMvP.
Siakam or Lowry if TDot wins

[BayArea408415]

Raps struggled to put away a hobbled gsw team. Raps will lose Gane 4 by 20 with Klay back

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

The game was within 7-10 quite a few times in the 2nd half. Lowry and Green shot lights out from 3 every time Curry and co tried to make a run. Domination is 20 point + margin that never gets within 15 or less once the lead is built.

[HBK_Kliq_33]

All that talk about Curry's gravity in game 2 but the gravity i saw out there tonight was all Kawhi. I guess gravity is a lot harder when the 3rd greatest shooter of all time is not out there. Kawhi is stuck with brickhead Siakam.

[SFour]

Are people in this thread really sympathizing with the warriors cause of their injuries? These guys have feasted on injured teams the last 5 years even injuring players in the process. F*ck em

Exactly...their luck ran out. Warriors fans weren't feeling sorry for the Cavs when they lost Kyrie/Love...or for the Rockets when CP3 was out for game 6 & 7.

[wade44]

This game is officiated right & Raptors go up by 20+ and don't look back. Refs have had their fair share of keeping Warriors "hanging around"

[killacalijatt]

Cousins might be hurt omg a blessing

[MikeM]

Curry's conditioning is unreal. He's running wind sprints just to get the ball in his hands and it just gets harder from there.

[gmoney411]

Lots of winners in Vegas tonight lol. How were the Warriors favored by 5?

I haven't bet a game in years but the minute I heard Klay was out I took Raptors money line. The Warriors offense looked so bad to close out game 2 and the trend continued tonight. Curry's super performance is the only thing that kept it from being a complete blowout.

[VancouverRaps]

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

Why do people keep saying KD will lace em up.. He was practicing in flip flops a couple days ago.

He’s admittedly a longer shot, but Klay is a lock to suit up.

[nymets1]

If the Raptors were to pull out game 4 and go up 3-1 in the series, Hmm Canada could be called NBA champs.

Thank you
