Raptors fans did not watch the Utah-Rockets series.

I believe in the law of equivilant exchange.

There was no way the Raptors were going to shoot anywhere close to what they shot in Game 3 in this game.

On the other hand, I knew Steph wasn't going to be able go off for almost fifty again.

Regardless of how this game ends I just don't think GS can beat the Raptors 3 more times without KD

That’s not a huge gap. That said, refs have been fine overall and is certainly a better officiated game then 2 or 3


More than double is not a big gap? :crazy:

The refs let guys play through contact most times. It was good.

This one of them ugly grind it out games that your superstar steps up & takes over...

Interested to see in the 2nd half who steps up to the plate out of Steph, Kawhi or Klay

Siakim & Draymond playing good as well.

Is this the worst 3 point shooting half in NBA finals history?

What hurts about the Raptors misses are because they are WIDE OPEN looks

FT’s and Warriors turnovers.


Shooting 15% on 3s doesn't help

Raptors are 12% too. Both have been awful from 3.

Agreed. This isn't just poor shooting. Both teams are wearing each other out w/the running and fast break attempts.

No, 6 calls over the course of a half is not a lot and is a meaningless without the context of each of those calls. Like I said, refs have been better than early this series

Now Raps fans trying to spin the officiating as good because they are getting all the calls. LOGIC!

2 is also double 1. Absolute is more descritpive when the numbers are this small. How many contested drives has GS even had? Ya'll shooting jump shots all game; how you gonna get to the line doing that? It's not like Raps are at the line because theyre getting hit shooting jumpers

If Curry can get on track, he can put this away. The Warriors need to run more plays to shake him lose.

"more than double" is a silly way to look at it when the numbers are that low.
3 fouls is more than double 1 foul, is that a big gap too?

Siakam has played bad on offense. This seems like a typical 3rd quarter run for the Warriors with Steph and Klay hitting most of their shots in the 2nd half

Do you really think the officiating is worse than game 2 or 3? Or do you just want to **** on raps fans
