2019 NBA Finals: Golden State Warriors vs. Toronto Raptors

Classy post

 

Toronto might as well move the team if they lose this series... Kwahi will leave although I think he would've if they had won anyhow... The next couple seasons would mentally draining...

 

Don't think you'll find much of a sample size to analyze from...

...mostly because no coach is dumb enough to call a timeout when your own team is on a run.

 

You don't have to worry about it, now he can do whatever he wants, no tech

 

this series is going back to toronto. oracle's last game isn't going to be a loss. and 3 in a row there at that

 

I think the Warriors lose. Not enough bullets in that gun anymore.

 

normally id probably agree, but given the situation toronto gave GS a new found sense of motivation by being so disrespectful. And thats not good coming back home to oracle for toronto

 

I've fallen for this crap before. Momentum is a fantasy, Karma is dead. Look how the Astros Won the WS

 

ill be on gs game 6. we shall see what happens

 

Looney says he expects to play in game 6. Apparently, his rib injury isn't at risk of getting worse, it's just a pain tolerance thing. If he can play, capably, the Warriors still have a chance. If he can't, I think they're toast. Not because Looney is so great but because their depth will be too paper thin to "gut out" two more wins against a deeper team playing really well. Looney is decent and they need him to soak up more center minutes than Cousins. Cousins makes a good change of pace against bench-heavy units, but in crunch time minutes against the Raptors starters he's too much of a liability defensively.

 

A look at the box score of last nights game is revealing. What stands out is the three-point shooting. GS shot close to 50% from three which is phenomenal. Raptors shot 25%. Rebounds are about even, but assists weren't. G.S. had 27 to 19 for Toronto. Given it was a one point game, if the Raptors had just shot slightly better from three, they would have likely won.

 

Looney should not be playing. He was in severe pain throughout the game. He can't possibly be very effective when he is hurting that badly.

 

Those Durant buckets in the first quarter were huge. Without them they lose. I don't know if GSW can win the next two games without him.

I am pulling for GSW to lose just so that Curry doesn't get a Finals MVP.

 

Why would Raptor fans do something as disgusting as cheer KD's injury? But I thought all Canadians are good people who are willing to go above and beyond to save women from becoming Hand Maidens in Trump's America.

 

Raptors fans heckling and swearing at Stephen Curry’s mom outside their hotel

 

I hear man, but the Warriors were NOT about to quit.

If they needed a timeout so badly, Kerr would've called one.

I think the outcome was more coincidence than anything.

 

To be fair, there was still 3:28 left on the clock when Nurse called the time out, an eternity in the NBA. Still, unless your players are falling down from exhaustion, there is no good reason for a head coach to stop your own team in the mist of a run. To me, it just kills the momentum.

 

Not too classy. Just sounded like a few though.

 

i can't shake the feeling they will get all the help they need from the officials. the nba will sell this as the greatest comeback in nba history.

 

I hate these kind of articles. Every fanbase has their idiots and assholes.
