Round 1- Game 1 loss: Raptors gonna choke again
Round 2 - Raptors don't have the talent to matchup.
Round 3 - Raptors won't win a game, the Bucks are a HISTORIC team.
Round 4 - Raptors beat the Bucks only to get spanked by the Warriors in 4 or 5.

Bay area people HAVE BEEN WARNED (but they did not listen).

I know it has been posted here, but on a serious (non trolling ;) )note. This had to be the best and smartest, also gutsiest and riskiest sport advertising campaign I can recall. Anyone have something similar? New Balance killed it!

The swarming, switching is unreal.


I was saying the Raptors had a chance this series without KD and because of their swarming switching defense. Warriors definitely got a wakeup call.

Of all 10 - 11 guys Warriors played in this series, only Klay and Steph would be in Raptors rotation. Some would suggest Igoudala too, but I think he is done and shell of himself.

I’m a Bulls fan, but I’m pulling for the Raptors because I just can’t stand the Warriors and the brand of basketball they brought into the NBA. I think there is far too much celebrating in this thread though. Neither team has reached 4 wins yet and if there is ever a team to come back from 1-3, the Warriors are it. I feel if Raps don’t close it out in game 5 then this is going 7 and then who knows what’s happens.

I have a feeling KD will be back for game 5 and the Warriors will win it and game 6 back in Oracle. However, I think Nurse will make adjustments and Scotiabank will be nuts for game 7. Raps in 7

Lol I've seen pictures of this, but why is it not surprising that Kawhi signed with New Balance?

you expect a rusty hobbled KD to save the day? I don't see it, especially if they put Kawhi on him.
