After game one Raptors in 6 was dominating the results
After game 2 warrriors is 6 was dominating the results
After game 3 Raptors in 5 is dominating the results
You would’ve thought going into the series people make their predictions based on knowing both teams will make adjustments through the course of a series and both win games

That tune changed as soon as KD got hurt. All through the WCF, so many people kept saying that if the seeding had Houston in the WCF instead of the Blazers, the Rockets would smoke the KD-less Warriors easily and it would be a dogfight between Houston and either the Bucks/Raptors. And many felt that either Bucks/Raptors could beat the Rockets in the Finals. The tune about the Warriors being a shoe-in and the West being superior to the East suddenly stopped once KD limped to the locker room; it was a whole new tune.
A lot of posters here and pundits still thought the Warriors were still going to cake walk to the championship after sweeping the Blazers.. It wasn't that long ago.

There were multiple threads about how either we needed the Bucks to win for anyone to even have a shot at beating the Warriors or that Toronto was toast down 1-0 / 2-0.

Western conference was over-hyped big time....they couldn't even take ONE **** game off the KD-less Warriors...Raptors, Bucks, Sixers all are able to take at least 1 game.

Down 1-2 against Sixers
It’s good to be leading thus far

I mean to be fair the Rockets took two games off the Warriors WITH KD so your overall point is disingenuous. The 7th seed in the west also took two games off the Warriors WITH KD. The Blazers were NOT the second best team in the west and had a charmed bracket to get to the conference finals.
I could see a team like the Nuggets or Spurs taking games, if not the series, off of the Sixers easily, and probably the Bucks as well.

I feel sorry for Raps fans but I have to pull this out of my sleeve. Anime has worked well thus far but, Cartoons are still unbeaten. Sorry it had to come to this chaps. Raps aren't winning another game from this point on.

I may sound as elitist (and I do apologize for that) but I cannot accept anyone as mature and serious person if he uses and adore anime to prove his point. I mean come on! Adults are talking here, not adolescents.
If you think saying something like this would be a deterrent or "shame" me. Leave me to my "adolescent" pre-game rituals. If you're not taking me seriously, there is no reason to even reply to my ridiculous post.
