Congrats to the San Antonio Raptors. Khawi and Danny's development in the system with the Spurs paid off again by showing us years of playoff experience matter. Awesome. I honestly do believe the Wahriors will dismantle the core and rebuild, no more superteam for Kerr to lean on autopilot and inherit championships ala phil Jackson w/MJ, Kobe, Shaq etc.. !

As an outsider (who hates GS), this feels weird and sad. Like I know injuries are a thing, but not generally to this extent. Same feeling as 2015, but flipped.

But congrats Toronto, I hope Kawhi comes to LAL and saves us

GS in serious trouble next season.

No KD, Klay, and likely Boogie.

Happy for the veterans and class acts Lowry and Gasol finally winning their ring. So much for the narrative of Gasol brothers being soft they now have 3 rings and Marc was arguably Raptors 2nd best, Pau gas clearly 2nd best.

Top 10 defensive team ever. Top 5 individual playoff run from Kawhi. Great run by them.

Did you watch Danny Green this years playoffs? he was terrible and saved by FVV on multiple occasions.

Congrats to the Raptors. This was the real meaning of faith. It was meant to happen. Go get drunk somewhere dudes, you've been waiting for this for a while.

On the other hand bizarre series for the Warriors. They showed the heart of a champ, just wasn't meant to be for them this year. Asked in other threads, but I don't know if this has ever happened in any other Finals- 2 of the top 3 players going down with some major injuries. Stay strong Warriors.

A new era. A Dino Dynasty has been born.

Warriors, Cavs and Raptors combine to win the last 5 Championships!

If you told me this in the early 2000s at the height of the Kobe/Shaq Lakers and when the Cavs and Warriors were lottery teams and the Raptors a low playoff seed (and the 3 teams combining for having a really long title drought), i would have a really hard time believing it. Yet here we are.

Gives hope to a lot of teams that have yet to win a championship...

Were both that major? I mean imo Klay and Durant are kinda done for next season as well... And they both got hurt against the Raptors.

Anywho, as I said before, well deserved. It was faith working it's ways here.

Been a long time coming LOL. I'm still in disbelief and don't think it has hit me yet cause I smoked a lot of weed, drank some beers and can't sleep

Congratulations Raptors fans. Hell of a team. Totally deserved and no asterisks. All hail the new King in the North!

congrats and i feel for 76ers fans. in theory they missed a title by one extremely hard buzzer beater

Congrats to the Raptors. Drafting Siakam, trading for Kwahi, Danny and Marc, re-signing Lowry and Ibaka to reasonable deals and hiring Nurse, they've made great moves to build this winning team. The city of Toronto truly deserves this title.

As for Warriors, sad end to their amazing run but no need to feel bad for them, 3 championships in 5 years is still good.

No, it hasn’t. You will see, wining another title is very hard

RaptorsLife · Post #539 » by **RaptorsLife** » Fri Jun 14, 2019 7:59 am

people talking about the sixers game winner but there was still another 5 mins if he misses

The Milwaukee game 3. Went to double OT. Giannis fouled out. Very close to going down 0-3 and being down

Then game 6 bucks blew a 16 point lead after 26-3 run in 4th quarter

The bucks choked away a championship so hard
