    Big night from Kawhi and some clutch plays. He has to carry this Raptors bums to wins. If I were him, I am bolting this team over the summer lol.

    Giannis with a bad shooting night. 5-16 from the field, 2-7 from FT, and 8 turnovers., and Bucks were still in it.

    That's the difference between the Bucks and Raptors. Giannis has a better team and players around him.

    Thank you Baby Dinosaurs.
    Go get game two now.

    Yeah, I was "conflicted".

    Warriors are gonna sweep so
    root for the Bucks to go up 3-0 (series over) and get the Finals started (think it's starting on June 1 May 30 no matter what so...)
    or Raps win, get game two and make it a series.

    Giannis such a valuable player his teammates don't even try to get him the ball when they really need a bucket.

    Marc Gasol would be a beefy upgrade that can go out to the 3 pt line. What would it have taken to get him before the Raptors did?

    What, defend home court after going down 0-2? Harden did it against the reigning champions and a GOAT team with one less OT. Let's see if Kawhi can tie it up like Harden did.

    I think that is accurate :).

    (VanVleet is derived from "van Vliet". "Van" is "from" in dutch and "Vliet" is sort of a waterway like a canal. ).

    I am dissapointed by giannis. He is not a closer. That will cost them in the finals against GS. It is hard if your go to scorer does not have a jumpshot.

    Still go Bucks. Toronto will be swept by GS. Bucks might win a game.

    The Raptors have the healthier and better players for Kawhi to work with come the playoffs.

    Oh, will you let it go. Some of the people overreact when Harden doesn't drop major points.

    It's not like Harden played badly in game 6. He dropped 35 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and had 4 steals.... all while having a 44% from the FG. If we had won, people would have been saying how clutch Harden was.

    Brogdon reminds me a lot of Pablo.

    As Clyde said, doesnt look like an NBA player.

    Every time I see him on the floor, I am thinking a ballboy just randomly inserted himself into the game.

    What happens when you cant shoot from outside.

    Teams just pack the paint.
