Damn.

Everyone talking about that stupid Nick Nurse timeout when Kawhi was on a roll.

Stephen A Smith just ripping on Nurse calling it the reason why we lost the game and potentially a championship.

We really need to win this now lol.
I don't feel like telling my grandkids one day about "the timeout" that cost us a title.

Got what we deserved. Everyone was way too cocky ahead of time. Tons of threads in here saying preemptively how we were going to win. Too many posters giddy before we even won anything. We need to be humble and stay focused. I knew this **** was gonna happen.

You presume the outcome of an Nba finals based on realgm posters? Our posts are just ss important as the game?

The Raps played a **** final 3:28, that's why we lost.

Instead, a very good chunk of fans start cheering on KD's injury and a bunch of them waving good bye (all caught on camera) and taunting him as he's being escorted into the locker room.

I'm sorry but that's **** despicable and the entire world saw this. I'm ashamed to be associated with these terrible fans and I really hope they don't generalize an entire country's fan base because of a percentage of these inconsiderate fans. Sh*t, I'm already reading all the awful things being mentioned about our fan base.

I can already hear the backlash for tomorrow.


good lord get a load of the inferiority complex here...always seeking approval and acceptance of others...yes some fans are idiots most fans are great...welcome to any fanbase. you don't want to be a part of it...fine don't let the door hit you on the way out.

You clearly don't understand what sportsmanship is. I've witnessed multiple opponents getting injured on a court. Never have I seen someone ever cheer for their injury.
**** fans are everywhere. I get it.
The problem is that the entire post season, we've been recognized as having the best fanbase in the league, all just for it to go sour off one moment. I've been riding this train since 1995, through the highs and the lows. How about you see yourself out because there's no debating sportsmanship with the likes of you.

I can't believe how good Klay and Steph shoot the ball. It's ridiculous, they don't even seem human.

Lowry called the timeout.

He also turned the ball over, missed 3's and missed the net on the final shot.

**** that fool.


I've seen evidence that Lowry is throwing games for 2 years now. Either he's a moron who shrinks in the pressure or he's losing on purpose. Knowing him, I think it's the latter.

Players lost and the fans lost. It was overall an embarrassing night.

how **** weak minded are you that you just buy into a narrative and sell out your entire fanbase...

Kawhi should've held the ball until the last few seconds and chucked up a shot. Don't care how high quality the chance is. You're the best player on the court you take the shot. We win with you and we lose with you

Guys don't forget that this is the GSW, even without durant they are still a top opponent, they got 4 aLl StArS in their team..
Just unlucky to not steal the win. This game will bounce back for the Raps

Winning tonight would have been drowned by the KD injury. So maybe winning the next game is better narrative.

More credibly, Tim Legler said a timeout on the last play would have allowed Kawhi in a much better spot than he did as it played out.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.
