Nurse squirming to answer the question.

"yeaa, umm, well we had two free ones that we lose under the three minute mark, and umm we just came across and umm decided that we'd umm give these guys a rest..."

Your team has the momentum and Kawhi is scoring at will! **** the extra time outs! You didn't use them anyway!

His answers were moronic. He’ll be savaged about this.

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!

I don't blame Lowry for that, he was put in a bad spot, no time left with a guy closing out he just had to chuck it. I wish Kawhi just drove it and took a mid range shot or he took a contested 3. I'd feel like it was in rhythm more. But Lowry was asked to salvage a broken play with no time left.

We take game 6, celebrate later this week.

That was a choke by Lowry, first the horrible turnover then the ball in the side of the basket, that's nerves folks, typical reault from someone playing scared at the end.

RAPSIN6. KEEP THE POSITIVITY.

Well KD and Looney are SO gone. We should just pound Cousins with our healthy bigs, smother Klay and force Curry to take long shots. We made two key mistakes tonight that cost us the match. Two second chance threes that after getting stops the coughed it up for wide open looks.

Bleh. It's crazy the Raptors had a good chance to win in the first place. They were terrible and clearly inferior for like 44 out of 48 minutes.

Kawhi shouldn't have past that ball. It was his shot to take or miss.

Kawhi is a playoff god but no one else on Raptors can be counted on to score in crunch time with that killer instinct

Raptors still better team right now - they have two more chances

And whatever happens - imo —- He Stays

I feel like Warriors are going to reverse us...

I think we win in 7 but it'll be close. There will be too much energy in Oracle to win there.

Brinbe · Post #533 » by **Brinbe** » Tue Jun 11, 2019 4:12 am

yep, kyle was in a super tough spot. kawhi should've just drove that, hope for a call, or shot a midranger. we needed a 2 that's it.

not every close game will go our way. we gotta work for this one.

Don't go down double digits losing focus to an emotional Durant exit, call a time out set play next game. Win championship.

We are up 3-2 on the freaking warriors. Let's DO THIS!

That was a bad game, but when Kawhi started hitting those shots I really thought we did it. Absolutely deflated right now.

Green got fingers on the ball.

You need 2 points and you take a tough 3 point shot. Raptors are famous for giving up the easy shot to take a low percentage shot. I don't know why Lowry took the shot. He's a big time choker just like his buddy DeRozan.

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.

Agreed. I know a lot of these players are close and like brothers, but this a big game and a chance at winning it all. They may never get this opportunity again. Can't let that affect you. Disappointed with Lowry if this is true.
