PG: We Choked

Fk me man.

Lowry melted at the end. Calling timeout when Kawhi was **** on them instead of making them call it also left me confused.

UGH. That was brutal.

I'm so sad. This is all my husband's fault that I'm this invested in a team (or even sport for that matter).

Also -- really surprised that Canadians cheered when KD injured himself. That was tough to watch.

Am I hearing this right? Nurse just said Lowry was so shook up from KDs injury that Klay and Steph had to talk to him to make him feel better coming out at halftime. WTF?

Jesus Christ. It sucks what happened to KD but he knew this could happen and it was a big risk and it’s not like he had cardiac arrest or snapped his leg in half. Even if it’s the worst case scenario of a ruptured Achilles, he gets surgery and is back in next years playoffs. He still has a player option and it’s not career threatening. Kyle is more distraught about that and he lets it affect him instead of going all out for a title for himself and the long suffering fans.

I’m sorry but that’s **** ridiculous. Keep you head in the game because it sure looked like the Warriors did.

Stupid timeout by Nurse. Not gonna lie, we didn't play our D up to standard and they hit way too many 3's. LOL at the final shot by Lowry. All in all, we didn't deserve that win but we fought hard and played good D in spurts. Kawhi was only good in the 4th. Rest of the game didn't play well. Lots of things to be better at next game. Not worried - we got this. To game 6!

Nurse on postgame media conference now, handling it well, has a good perspective.

If Draymond and Iggy stop passing up shots, maybe the Warriors would stand a chance.

Lowry's airball was bad, but Kawhi took way too long to get the play going. Just terrible situational awareness, felt like a January game against Charlotte.

What can they expect to hear if ask such question? "Oh yeah, we thought we were champed and so called a timeout and celebrate it for a while..." sth like that?

He had a wide open shot in the last two minutes and bricked it.. no chance he’d hit a contested corner 3

So call a damn timeout so you get the ball to Kawhi instead of calling it on your buggest run of the game

Nurse has such a punchable face.

Again Kawhi went into the last play late...

They have won 2 games they had no business winning. Otherwise the Raptors have been the better team. Just got to believe. The Crowd sucked though, no different than a Road game. Maybe they will play with more fire on the Road.

The General Board full of haters wanted Raptor Fans to doubt themselves and some fell for it. Insecurity can be easily manipulated. Calm down and don't fall for false narratives designed to just make you look and feel bad.

dude why was the crowd so dead, raptors needed the fans behind them and they were nowhere to be found at the end

Douchebaggery aside, my heart sank the moment the ball went into Kyle's hands. I feel like that moment was just too big for him. Still up 3-2 though and it seems pretty likely KD is done for the series.

Didn't they cheer when Zaza fouled Kawhi? Plus these are fans that have been cheering Draymond Green for years. So the sanctimonious BS can stop.

Outside of a five minute stretch Kawhi didn’t have a good game

Played horrific basketball in the final three minutes, heads in a cloud with no sense of composure on both sides of the ball. All three 3s from Klay/Curry should have been guarded much, much better. And offensively there were pretty much no plays being ran or no secondary stuff in case they got countered. I won't blame Nurse for the timeout as it looked like Kawhi/Lowry called it on the court, probably gassed. Really our last possession could have used a timeout to set an open look for the double on Kawhi. **** man, this game was ours.
