    They showed these playoffs that with the right centerpiece and accompanying players they can overtake an all-star team, regardless of injuries.

    This right here, is how you build a team without the flashy names and win.


    Congrats Raptors!!

    Watching every game of this series just shows you how far behind the rockets are to competing for a ring. Coaching, b ball , and especially conditioning.

    They do have a lot of luck but well deserve it. I blame Tilman to not go all in this year because he thinks it is impossible to beat this Warriors.

    That was a great run and indeed shows it’s about the team. Kawhi didn’t do much tonight and they still won. Luck is part of it all, just like with the Warriors runs and even Rockets’ one. Give them props, much respect, love this right here!! Congrats Kyle, Lin and Kawhi for redemption.

    I, for one, am super happy for them. A couple of reasons.

    1. Lots of ex-Rockets Players
    2. It's their first championship.
    3. Fuuck the Warriors.
    4. Seriously, fuuck the Warriors.

    This year was a wasted opportunity for sure, Morey's ass should be on the for the roster mess. Hopefully this off season will be better

    The Raptors got extremely lucky the KD basically missed the whole series, Klay Thompson missed a game and the second half of game 6, DeMarcus Cousins played hurt and Loney too.... having said that, they did win the series and are the NBA Finals Champs.

    Dolph = Rockets
    Kofi = Raptors

    This promo all of a sudden hits home. Injury karma hits GS, but it still hurts that it came in lieu of a Rockets title last year

    I felt awful for Durant and I'm not even a Durant guy and then Thompson goes down.
    But The Nba needed this they just don't know it yet.
    That's a wrap

    They deserve every bit of credit. Hard work, superb coaching and an excellent Gm got them here along with unselfish super star and team oriented basketball

    They won without a single lottery pick on the roster?

    Amazing
