NBA Finals Thread #8: Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors | TOR LEADS 3-2

[Pharmcat]

Gsw blowout incoming, they win by atleast 25

[Emhoward]

Lmao decimated roster

They lost a top-3 NBA player completely, have a starter just off an Achilles tear trying to recover while playing (7 footer who can't even dunk or run right now), one of their best defensive players with a cracked sternum who is grimacing on every play (when he's even able to play), another starter still recovering from a hamstring strain. I don't understand your incredulousness.

Because you narrative is a joke.
They let their own top 3 player get injured like that.
That starter 7 footer is on a bargain contract and shouldn't be on their team in the first place, but if you want to take credit for his injury go ahead.
Looney injury? Ok
Klay injury? Sure, he also flopped to cause that injury

Let's look at the raptors
OG hasn't played a minute this series and he would be a great defender and 3pt shooter body off the bench
FVV took 7 stitches and a lost tooth this series
Lowry is playing with an injured thumb that Will likely get surgery
Kawhi is constantly nursing an injured leg



Everyone is injured, its not an excuse.

The best ability is availability.

Yes everyone is injured.

But the effect of Kevin Durants injury>>>>Kawhi's, Lowry, OG, and FVV injuries by himself.

And thats without adding Looney, Klay, and Iggy.

Not having a top 3 player on a roster decimates that roster no matter who else is on it.

Don't get me wrong, the Raptors are far from healthy. But this is not equal.

Kawhi and the rest of the Raptors do not care about this being the last game at Oracle.

Warriors are a high variance team right now. They’re going to need their shots to fall.

Why does it matter how KD was injured? Either way he wasn't going to play. The point is a top-3 NBA player (arguably top 1 or 2) got taken out of the lineup. How do you think the Raptors would be doing if Kawhi wasn't able to play at all? Would that be an excuse? Hell yes it would.

Again, why does it matter how or why Cousins signed? He's on the team, he was a starter, he was expected to contribute and can't much (partly because of the original injury but more importantly because of the re-injury that happened at the beginning of the playoffs).

Klay's "flop" is just a ridiculous assertion, I don't think there's a player in the league who flops less than Klay Thompson (the dude shoots fewer than 2 free throws per game). But hey, you're entitled to your opinion.

Yes, every team has injuries. And if the Raps win I will absolutely not call it illegitimate or anything like that, they'll deserve all of it. But it's foolish to argue the Warriors aren't at an unprecedented injury disadvantage right now.

[OriginalRed]

The biggest question going into this game is will Klay continue to be insanely hot from three? This dude shooting over 55 % from three on over 6 attempts per game, let me say that again OVER 55 % FROM THREE! That's beyond ludicrous.

He has to come back down to earth eventually, I just can't fathom a player shooting that well from three over the course of 5 games on over 6 attempts per game.
