For applying the correct ruling? Take off the blinkers dude.

You see the replay. One angle is awful. The other was close but clearly coming out. Warriors had horrible turnovers and Kawhi’s heroics were crushed by Klay and Steph.

They worked hard to rationalize the outcome they knew was coming...it was actually pretty funny.

They will, they always do. Once they lose it's always the refs.

I actually feel bad for Durant somehow. He could have a 3-peat.

LeBron would be getting eviscerated for that last possession if it were him.

Yeah, what's up with that. Could just be that he's exhausted?

Brutal, brutal game for Toronto.

- lose one chance to celebrate on home court
- fanbase either cheers injuries or defends the fans who do
- basically prove warriors are superior with Durant
- cast in doubt what series would be had klay played in game 3

All that said, this was an epic finals game, best in recent history, and Kawhi had one of the most impressive two minutes stretches I've seen in a long time.

Glad we're getting more basketball though. I was actually rooting for Toronto before tonight, but thats pretty much changed.

yea like a whole crowd of Canadians applauding Durant's injury. Raptors deserve to lose. Would be an epic choke job. eh? eh?
And people wonder why there are so many internal issues in the United States. :lol:


There actually aren't many internal issues, just the media doing an excellent job of presenting America to the world in the worst way possible.

Most people would obviously agree with you. If Kawhi were out, many of them might give the Dubs a shot, but Kawhi is playing great and KD is out. Looney is likely out. No excuses, just not enough players to pull this out. Congrats to the Raptors.

He still could. He helped them win tonight. GSW have to step up in 6 and 7.

There's been a lot more contact than that let go. It wasn't much of a screen, tbh.


Yeah, and whether it was a foul or not I didn’t like the call especially in that situation

I was legit shook after the Kawhi clutch shots but the Splash Brothers quieted Toronto. What a comeback.
