    Eh I know Steph Curry is an all time great, I just dont appreciate that Harden gets crapped on unfairly. because of Winning Bias. Curry gets saved a lot cause they have more talent than everyone else.

    Mid season acquisition Marc Gasol couldn’t even defend fat Boogie but he would’ve saved our season according to some guys.

    Coaching mastermind Nick Nurse failed to make adjustments to stop an 18-0 run and take advantage of the absence of KD and Klay.

    GS defense makes a lot of guys look like chokers. They pick a player and swarm him. They are able to do it because most playoff teams have 1 or 2 Allstars, whereas they have 5 when healthy, 3 or 4 when injured.

    It’s nothing new here. GS has more talent than anyone else so they win. The only choking that can take place is if they don’t win it all with their Western Conference Allstar team.

    I don't disagree with you. I also hate how much crap Harden gets. He has never been forgiven for his past sins. I've never seen any other player be ridiculed from all his bad moments. It's so bad that he has been denied MVPs because of it.

    What are you talking about. The Box and 1 defense was actually working, the Raptors just couldn't hit a damn shot. That was a gutsy adjustment by coach Nick.

    This Worriers team is the team that you know really well that they'll kill you and they do
    MURPHY LAW
    PS: they're really good
    i predict the Raptors will steal a game in Oracle and get Back tied 2-2

    This. Curry smartly takes what the defense gives him and ends up not taking a shot. But they win. Great game.

    Harden does the same but we lose. The choker shrunk again, should have done more.

    Kawhi now knows how Harden feels, having to carry inconsistent role players against the GOAT team. Except if Kawhi loses only one of those two is bailing on what, his second team?

    No Klay, No KD. Curry didn't score much at the end of the 4th.

    Why didn't Kawhi take over when it mattered most?

    Did he choke?

    Toronto fans should spend the next few days talking about taking more midrange shots and killing Kawhi since he had 34 and 14, but it’s still somehow all his fault...if Kawhi does a bit more, he can overcome everything

    I think Toronto is good enough to take 2 games total and lose in 6 like we did.

    so if the Raptors choke the rest of the series and lose 4-1 , will the Rockets be considered the best to compete vs the dubs?

    It looks like Kawhi is playing hurt. Or I just never noticed how unathletic he is.
