That offensive interference call was out of the cylinder and clearly coming off. Not sure why they couldn't correct that call on the replay.

Lowry and Nurse ruined an epic 2 minute to close the game by Kawhi

Raps have dominated the W's sans Durant. It took a ridiculous shooting night, 20 3's and Warriors needing KD, who looked awesome, for a quarter to eek out a win. And they gotta do that 2 more times.

And they just might, because they are the Warriors and they are a special team. The Raptors tick more boxes than GS - no question - but that team is just different. We’ll see if those championship intangibles are enough in game 6. I got GS in 7 for whatever it’s worth.

Toronto and especially Kawhi have looked great but GS has looked uncharacteristically out of sorts...And they still are going 6...At no point this year did they ever look like a 2 on 5 team until this series...Again, credit to Toronto, but GS has had to make that adjustment, along with the injuries and the emotion..Still think Klay should have played game 3...They may even be up now if he had...

No it's because you can't soft double like that when your guy is on the other side of the restricted area. Iggy literally left Lowry all the way on the other side and zoned up over to Kawhi.

I don't blame Lowry for missing the shot. I blame Gasol for not doing jack **** to Draymond with any kind of screen. You know Lowry is open in the weakside because it's his guy doubling. How do you not stop to think to flare/hammer screen the weakside corner when you're European and have been playing against zones your entire life.

I thought for sure that he did set a screen because Lowry was somewhat open. But then on the replay it wasn't there. So disappointing, he could have been wide open. I actually think the Raptors snuffed it out in the huddle and had this play drawn up for exactly that because Lowry is never in the corner.

Nah I'm pretty sure it was an ad-libbed play where Lowry spaced out to the corner once he saw Iggy doubling. It's just something that should process in all these guys' heads that the weakside corner is gonna be open with that kind of double team. Gasol just stood there like a big dumb lumbering oaf. Lowry got open because of his own movement not anything Gasol did

Thinking back, why in the hell would Nurse call a timeout when the Raptors were making a run?

Stupidity.

Let me guess. There is no evidence that the Warriors would’ve won with Durant?

Asterisk title for the low class Raptors!

Did you watch the game? Warriors only pulled away after kd got injured.

These are the same idiots that think "DEPTH DOESN'T MATTER"

Um, Durant’s 11 points played a crucial part, after all. The Dubs only won by 1. Discussing anything with you is very annoying.

Relax, warriors won the battle but raptors won the war (durant's injury). Warriors have no chance to win this series.

Little kids DREAM of this opportunity...and Lowry just...

Lowry was having great game until last 2 minutes .. I was even thinking he deserved Finals MVP.

Under discussed heroic effort by KD to come back, likely too early and play great. He was super efficient and his points the difference.

If the Raps somehow blow this series this might not even be Kawhi’s most devastating series lmao. He and Manu missed key free throws to end the Heat in game 6 of the finals to win the championship but then Ray Allen...

Raptors choked HARD starting with Nurse and Lowry. What a massive failure at the end.

He didn’t. Kawhi and Lowry did because Kawhi was gassed.

Warriors had 20 threes compared to 8 for the Raps. That'll do it.

durant's non existent defence played a for more crucial part, hence why the raptors made it a one possesion game before his injury.

This is why you don't add ppg to predict hypotheticals. :lol:

Who's winning this thing?
