Great win by the raps. Every game someone steped up and contributed in a big way. Siakim g1 green g3 and ibaka g4...i would like to see we battle in full strength but thought you guys were a much better team without kd and deserved evrything so far.

Mannnn fully convinced zaza single handedly won that series for dubs in 2015. We had a tatse of Kawhis greatness and now we are seeing what itwould have really looked like had it ot been cut short. Amazing fkin player

I hope the Mods don't immediately close game threads after the game even if the pages exceeds 100.

Fake love.

Gotta stay and support till the final buzzer. SMH.

Shame on those bandwagon GState fans.


As a nuetral , they are still better than those heat fans that dipped and tried to come back in after the ray allen 3 . Dubs had real support even in the Biedrins era , most are legit

Not enough praise for Leonard. After scoring 14 at half, he started the third quarter by shooting back to back threes and finishing with a total of 17 points in the 3rd.

He set the tone for Toronto.

KevIn Durant missing the series and Thompson being out for a game just might have something to do with it. Maybe, I’m not sure.

Kawhi looked a lot better tonight compared to some of the previous games... he was laboring out there quite a bit earlier in the series... not sure if Toronto's training staff figured something out or what. He was noticeably more spry out there tonight

He made Draymond look helpless on several of those jumpers. So much for being the goat defender, who's been burned now by Kawhi and Pascal Siakam multiple times this series

Warriors still win the NBA title from down 3-1. It will be a lot like Lebron in 2016 against the dubs. KD and Steph both blew 3-1 leads. Expect the same but in reverse

He’s such a whinny little b. As a raptor fan I admit Lowry does the same every game but Dray takes it to another level with his child like tantrums.

I was shocked he actually got a tech, he's been awful towards the refs the entire series and they haven't called any techs on him till tonight.

If Durant plays game 5 I'll eat my hat. That's a tough ask to return in an elimination game in Toronto against defenders as good as Leonard and Siakam, team defense as good as the Raptors, and after 5 inactive weeks.

I'm glad to admit I was wrong about the Raptors chances. I thought that they did not have what it takes after the Sixers took them to 7 games but Toronto has peaked at the right time.
