    Nick Nurse decided to use one of several timeouts that Mike D'Antoni never used this playoffs.
    Worked.

    Warriors got the rest they needed.

    Stupid Canadians.

    I'm not bothered by Kawhi's decision to pass the ball on the final possession. The biggest mistake down the stretch was Nurse calling that timeout. Kawhi and the Raptors were smelling blood, the Warriors were on their heels and that timeout allowed GS to get new life and regain their mojo.

    Anyway, this Toronto loss, while obviously disappointing, isn't that big of a deal. The people who are saying that Toronto and Kawhi "choked" are being ridiculous. They did not choke. I think they regroup and eliminate the Warriors in Game 6 in Oracle.

    That seems logical. But I still think he outsmarted himself. He could have let their adrenaline get them through their tiredness and waited for the Warriors to call a timeout to stop the run.

    This is the problem, fans are content with almost beating them and Cling to it. It’s a LOSER mentality

    I got a feeling the Raptors are going to regret letting this one get away. If any team can win three in a row it is G.S.

    Still was a stupid decision in my mind even knowing they would've been lost.

    You had literally 100% of the momentum. The crowd was going absolutely bananas with every single missed Warrior shot (and there were many)

    They were on the absolute edge. All they needed was a THIS IS SPARTA kick off of it.

    Nope, time out. Let them regroup. Adjust their tactics. Prepare. Rest. Win.

    Stupid stupid stupid.

    Way better than his first draft "Tonight, the team that scored more points won!"

    He should change his Twitter handle to @EarnestEarvin.

    That doesn't matter

    If worriers win game 6.

    It's probably theirs.

    However- raptors may end it game 6.

    LOL you misunderstand. NO one is clinging to almost beating GSW. WE WANT TO BE THE FRANCHISE TO BEAT THEM. pay attention and read gawd dammit. How the hell is clinging to the Rockets ability to beat the warriors a loser mentality? I take no joy in the Rockets almost beating the punk ass Warriors; It's pretty freaking enraging just thinking about it.

    Why in the hell would I want someone else to take the Rockets prize of GSW's severed dynasty? I root for Rocket wins not other teams.

    Even if the GS pulls this out (which still feels like a serious long shot), KD's likely gone and/or out for a year with a torn Achilles. Some of the key bnech veterans are likely done. Beating a shell of the champs isn't very satisfying either.
