2019 NBA Finals Thread #6: Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors | TOR LEADS 3-1

Well, the Raptors have 3 shots to end this against the Warriors + KD with 2 of it coming at home, if they can't do it then they simply don't deserve the championship.

if Toronto shoots well from 3 they are going to win regardless of KD. I've seen no evidence that GS can stop the Raptors from getting tons of wide open 3s.

People got too excited and wrote this series off. The series is starting tonight and raps are in trouble. They have to account for 30 ppg being added to gsw total

How exactly is it that the team that is up 3-1, with home court, with arguably the best player in the series “in trouble”?
If the raptors are in trouble what are the warriors in? They have 3 strait elimination games

Some of these takes are crazy. Yes obviously Durant helps the warriors but they aren’t unbeatable. The clippers and rockets both won two games against a fully healthy warriors

At least 10 times that. Easy money. Raptors have to account for gss score total increasing by 30

Put your money where your mouth is. Show us your bet slip. You've been uber confident that they'd win so lets see that 10x guranteed payout your gonna win

Clippers were able to steal games with a healthy Durant, I think the Raps will be okay.

I hope you're right. Just saying it feels like tonight is the game they need to win. If the Warriors win tonight the series is back on serve and I think it starts to shift back in their favor.

So this guy is coming back from a month off. Little to no practice. Yet he's gonna put up 30.

Guess the real finals starts tonight. Raps are going to treat this as if KD is 100% and will be ultra locked in. At least I hope so.

folks like to feel good. sometimes when that's threatened, they need to come up with something to get them going - to make them feel good again. so some folks like to repeat stuff over and over again to make them feel safe again.

GSW has not been able to defend the Raptors well all series, KD isn't gonna change that. KD has to be amazing offensively to make a difference.

LoveMyRaps · Post #510 » by **LoveMyRaps** » Mon Jun 10, 2019 8:25 pm

People really expect KD to go off for 30+ coming off a major injury and playing against arguably the best perimeter defender the game has ever seen?
y'all delusional
raps in 5

Thank you sir, I feel like alot of us Toronto sports fans have been traumatized by our sports teams failing and choking time after time for the past 20+ years that some of us are doubting the Raptors when we shouldn't, Toronto sports PTSD aside, we should like our odds from here on out.

The Raptors have 3 times to close it out while the Warriors are down to their last life.. KD or not you gotta like those odds if you're a Raptors fan.

Big rises - Kawhi, Hakeem
Ever consistent - Jordan

Patches Perry · Post #514 » by **Patches Perry** » Mon Jun 10, 2019 8:47 pm

Good for KD, but given that he's been accused of trying to be like LeBron, I can't get over the circumstance that allows him to come back at the very point in the series where they're down 3-1 in the finals. Basketball gods pulling strings.

Patches Perry · Post #515 » by **Patches Perry** » Mon Jun 10, 2019 8:50 pm

Also, now that KD is back I got Warriors in 6

Raptors choking a 3-1 lead would have been the raptors of old

It still would be no shame given the fact the 73-9 team did the same

Here’s hoping it isn’t the same raptors

The Slim Reaper is going to rip the souls out of an entire country . Warriors in 7. Half of Cantada is gonna be on ssri’s for the next year. This collapse is going to be epic. Kawhi will leave. Lowry will get traded. Gasol and Ibaka are gone. Masai will leave. No free agent will want to sign there for obvious reasons. The Raptors will go back to being the laughing stock they’ve always been

It's incredible how people get caught up in the moment.

"KD's gonna score 50! Raps in trouble fam! This going 7 games now! Comeback for the ages!"

Can we all grow up for ****'s sake?

This series is over and it's over tonight, in Toronto.

Warriors in 7

Who da Champ?
