Agreed. Both Warriors wins were because of Klay, not curry.

I'm the furthest thing from a Warriors fan and I think the FO was completely negligent for okaying Durant playing this soon. But watching the Raptors fans inside and outside the arena going nuts when Durant went down was pretty disgusting. And then you've got the incident of the dude getting sucker punched twice by two Raps fans. Also I've got a friend I used to go to school with who lives in Toronto now, and he was at the game and said any GS fans who went to the game were heckled and insulted all game long past what he saw as the acceptable level. Raptors fans on this board have been pretty obnoxious lately in my opinion, as well, and it's been a little annoying to see the exaggeration of how well Kawhi is playing (to the point of even downplaying the performances of their own guys, who have been awesome!) and all these assertions that he's maybe having the GOAT peak and clearly better than LeBron ever was. One, there's zero argument for that, and it's especially strange to see that as if Raptors fans didn't get an up close and personal look at how LeBron destroyed them the past few years in the postseason. With all of this in mind, I don't think the Raptors fanbase are "bad fans," I just think they've become spoiled by this playoff run after years of not really coming close or feeling like they had a legitimate chance to win it all, and their excitement has gotten the best of them. Seeing them knocked down a peg or two after tasting that sweet championship and falling just short will be sort of a learning lesson. Finally, Durant's injury and the knowledge that he'll never be close to the same player again is pretty heartbreaking, and I don't want his short-lived return to be for nothing. There's no doubt in my mind GS would have lost last night without the good minutes KD gave them yesterday (11 points on 5 shots, +6) and now you've got a team that has to be extra motivated and rallying around and for him. If they threepeat, Durant absolutely helped achieve that.

I’m glad the finals are finally exciting. Last 2 years of Lebron and cavs getting destroyed made June less exciting

If warriors comeback and win. They deserve it and raptors choked

Karma all this other bull **** doesn’t exist.

Dude the people who already predicting raptors wins confidently won’t be showing face if warriors wins in 7

We might as well act cocky. Nobody will be here to answer anything if that happens lol

Raptors are so incompetent, they’re up by 6 with the ball with 3 minutes to end the season.

Lowry missed a 3, throws the ball away and misses the buzzer beater.

Kawhi has been the difference, and he was the difference capping of a 10-0 run for only raps incompetence to bumble it all away.

The thing that blew me away more than anything about this game was when Nick Nurse called that timeout with 3min to go?!?!?!....
The Raps were peaking on their first run that produced a lead, Kawhi was completely taking over the game.... up by 6, momentum, Kawhi on fire, and Raps coach takes a time out?!? WTF was that?!? Unbelievable.

People can point at that last shot by Lowry all they want, but Nick Nurse botched that game with an ill advised time out imo. The time out killed the best momentum/energy they had all game long, and gave GS the perfect opportunity to re-gather their composure. GS came out after that time out and nailed 3 big shots in a row and stole the game. Worst time out I've ever seen by a head coach.

Yoyoboy was one of the good posters when we went against Cleveland, even when they lost. There are a lot of Lebron stans around here, but i don’t think he is one of them, he always tried to stay objective.
So you’re argument is invalid.
It is time to accept that you have some scumbags within your fanbase who cheered for an injury and that some people don’t like it. Evey team has probably, yours were just cought with the pants down. But stop trying to spin it, it’s pathetic already.
