It's a nightmare for the INJURED Warriors. Even without KD, if Looney and Klay were healthy we'd win the series

awww do the poor Warriors need 5 allstars in their starting lineup to compete :lol:

It’s not really about who wants it more though. It’s literally just the Raptors being the better team with the best player. Golden State can want it more all they want. TOR is the better, deeper team with the best player in the series.

Their defense has been awful all series.

They’ve been double teaming like crazy all game

I would be shocked to see him return.

This is the finals. He would be playing by now if he was going to return.

perfect no. but he has every skill you want and most at an elite level.
Kawhi and KD are essentially the same guy to me.

What happened to Draymond Green? He was series MVP in the the conference finals imo, but he's been a total no-show all Finals.

He was pretty huge for them in their win game 2

Not just Toronto, they've been shite all playoffs

Bucks would sweep them due to match up and their play style if they made it

playing against this front line has him mentally shook. he's at a size disadvantage but he shouldn't be this bad. he's focused on flopping and crying instead of doing his thing. it's bad to watch. that said, you can argue me into him being over the hill. this is ugly.

Draymond and KD cost the Warriors a title.

And If Kawhi and Lowry and OG were healthy it would have been a Raptors sweep 8-)

The entire load management thing is looking pretty solid in June.

There's still a whole 4th quarter but the Raptors survived the notorious 3rd quarter run by the Warriors so lets see what happens.

Raps gotta keep fighting through. Value the ball on EACH possession.

LETS GO RAPS!!!

Basketball_Jones · Post #1636 » by **Basketball_Jones** » Sat Jun 8, 2019 3:00 am

Raptors are just too deep. Only the Sixers could keep most of their players cold for an entire series. Unlikely that happens again.
