    You have to give Golden State props, they gutted that win out. I hate Draymond but he had a huge impact tonight.

    Yet another game where Klay and Green saved Curry's ass.

    But of course Curry will get all the credit when Warriors win the series.

    I really don't believe in referee conspiracies, but the first half was brutal officiating and that wears on you man. Really strikes at your motivation. Raptors should've been up more than 5 at the half, and even Steve Kerr is saying it felt like they should've been down more than 5.

    Anyhow the Warriors did their job, moved the ball well and they hit shots that lots of people would miss. You leave a Finals MVP open for 4 seconds, he's going to hit the shot 90% of the time. You can blame the refs, but Raps had their chance. Several stupid fouls, several open looks missed and frankly there were some second chance points they were lucky to get.

    I think we'll come back to the North 2-2.

    The Raptors should suck it up about the refs and just play ball like the Rockets told to do.

    The bookies had Raptors winning Game 2 but they lost.

    Kawhi is such a choker.

    The main difference I see is Curry has some guys he can trust. Even without Klay and KD, he had some decent options available, and the lead.

    I don’t trust anyone but Harden, especially when we are on the verge of elimination. I want him to shoot because I feel he has a better chance to make it with 3 guys hanging on him vs anyone else we have.

    That said, Harden is not a choker. I’d like him to be more selfish though. The odds are stacked way against us, and any other team, vs GS.

    Klay Thompson left game with injury and the game was there for Raptors to grab but they didnt.

    OMG Such chokers.

    How could they not beat the scrub team after Klay left even when they were favorites to win the game based on pre game odds!!!

    OMGZ OMGZOM

    Hey, maybe, just maybe, the Warriors have an abundance of talent and experience of winning three championship previously??

    Draymond is the reason that team truly wins. He’s a great effing player. If he was out instead of Durant, Rockets would have won that series easy...

    That said Toronto choked hard tonight. Klay injured and Looney too. Iggy is playing on fumes... This is way worse for Toronto than Rockets losing...

    That said, I hope Warriors win the next 3 in blowout fashion just so everyone can see that the Rockets were truly the only competition...

    the fact that u still trust Harden shooting with 3 dudes draped all over him more than any of his teammates speaks volumes to the burden and pressure that is his placed on his shoulders

    if Kawhi averages 35, 6, and 7 on 60% TS against GS, he’ll be a god...when Harden does it, he’s a disappointment

    My Warriors in 6 bet is back on track. Warriors win 3 and 4, Raps win 5, Warriors win 6.
