2019 NBA Finals Thread #5: Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors | TOR 2-1 GSW

[13th Man]

I agree. I just said that he whined like a baby to the ref, when he should have told security. Isn't that what security is for? I bet they would have walked that fan out right then and there. What does the ref care?

Like Lowry had time to seek out security, why doesn't he file a report while he's at it? Lowry did the right thing to get this classless fan kicked out.

Good point, but did he get kicked out?

Yes he did. A suit came over and escorted him out, pretty embarrassing the entire ordeal.

Yeah, I edited my response after I saw he was taken out. I didn't see that part of the game, so I assumed because everyone on here was talking about it, he wasn't removed.

Raptors with 10 blocks tonight continuing to show why they are a historic defensive team.

[TGW]

Green predicts Warriors in six. Sounds crazy, but if they're healthy, I wouldn't put it past them to win the next 3 games.

[BigShaq34]

Lowry soft as charmin. Dumpy roly-poly mother ****

Soft? He has been playing with a borderline broken hand the last 2 rounds. Maybe you wouldn't think Lowry is soft if he slapped the **** out of that gutless coward of a fan last night.

not to mention lowry leads the league in playoff charges. Dude was guarding Embiid in the post, taking elbows from Giannas, diving for loose balls, playing tough post defense on Tobias Harris not giving an inch despite the size difference, and he's just as tough as nails.

Most philly ballers are like that anyway

[G35]

I feel nothing for the warriors. I don’t remember everyone crying over the Cavs not having Love and Kyrie

I never feel sorry for teams with injuries.

It's like playing a videogame and the other guy says his controller don't work...oh well bruh, fix it...it happens.

Injuries are part of the game. You think the Warriors would feel sorry for the Raptors if Siakim got hurt or Danny Green? These guys aren't even All Stars.

What happened to the game...ain't no crying in basketball.....

lol very weird analogy. you can pause the video game

Yeah you can pause the game.

You could also pause the finals until KD and Klay get healthy too......

And kawhi is the most blue collar superstar in nba history. Lowry and Kawhi were born to be co stars and are pretty much what Harden-Chris Paul wish they could be at this point.

Is there some level of arrogance on Golden State's part for not playing Klay last night?

Eh, "predicts" is a bit strong.

He was pretty clearly saying that as an aspiration, not a declaration.

[B-Ball Freak]

Dude looked like he was talking out of his ass when he said that, but if his super friends come back healthy it might be a reality.

Golden State Record (regular season and playoffs) without their stars this year:

No Curry: 5-8
No Dray: 9-7
No Klay: 2-3
No KD: 9-3

[phillipmike]

Any bets the Warriors score 109 in game 4?

Wow just realized they scored 109 every game this series

Check that stat, I wonder how often that's happened in any 3 game stretch

Shouldnt be new to you Oakland fans, check out Khris Davis' batting average over the last few years.

[Vlade Divac]

One thing I discovered during this Finals and did not know before, is that Draymond Green is very smart, eloquent, intelligent person born not to be only excellent player but a key TV commentator once he retires.

[Throwback24]

Green predicts Warriors in six. Sounds crazy, but if they're healthy, I wouldn't put it past them to win the next 3 games.

And we predict the Raptors in 5. End Queen Cerseis reign once and for all.

The bridge is over. The bride is over.

It's not like Raptors need more motivation. Nurse should place this quote in the locker room.

why is the media not giving raptors enough credit. they played their heart out

[Joest2003]

Hey Warriors Jeremy Lamb is a free agent.. just saying

[Michael Jordan]

Is there some level of arrogance on Golden State's part for not playing Klay last night?

How is it arrogance?

The medical staff recommended not playing him. A hamstring is not something you play through when its injured. As Green and Kerr mentioned, you need him for the series and can't risk seeing it get worse/not recover.

[LeonGenesis]

Toronto was easy money yesterday game like I predicted..getting 5 points. Wow...easy money. Toronto is already planning their parade. Guaranteed again...pick Toronto this Friday!!! Guaranteed win!!!

Canada/USA VS. GSW . How sad is that? LOL

[VinBaker6]

I called Raps in 5 before the series, I'm sticking with it.

My friends, a new NBA dynasty is about to begin. Welcome to the HOOO MAN Era. Philly, our biggest threat might lose key free agents. Milwaukee wasn't close and is losing key guys. Boston is going into the tank and was irrelevant anyway. The East has no hope.

A glorious era in NBA lore is about to begin. Embrace it my friends. Embrace your new Canadian overlords.

They would be stupid to play the arrogance card in a finals series tied at 1-1.

It's simple math really. Do you carry the 50% risk of Klay playing half of game 3 then injured and out for the entire series, or have a 80% guarantee that he returns for game 4 and healthy through game 5, 6, 7 if the series goes there?

If you look at G2, even with Klay playing 32 minutes, they won Q3 but lost the other 3 quarters. Toronto just had a collective brain fart in the 3rd quarter. It's not like they blew out Toronto. G3 was going to be a battle with or without Klay.
