    Nah, there will definitely be some shame for Leonard if the Raptors lose this series:

    1) Raptors have home court advantage and are almost completely healthy.
    2)Kevin Durant played a total of 12 minutes in the series
    3) Thompson lost a game to injury and isn't 100%
    4) Looney is banged up
    5) They were up 3-1 and honestly should have swept this team.

    Like Gordon. Who would say Gordon played better than harden when harden sets him up all game?

    Not sure why you mentioned that. It's not like I'd mind if we diversify our offense a bit and get Harden easier shots but then we need to stop expecting him to do so much playmaking on his own since no one else can outside of CP. But we really acting like that was the main reason we lost and not lack of rim protection/rebounding?

    Capela would have done better than 2/3 from 3 than Gasol?

    Man, the extent some fans goto as a defense mechanism...hopefully I wasn’t this bad during the season.

    It’s quite hilarious now actually.

    Because it's harden choice to slowly walk the ball up every time

    I'm not playing that game. I'm playing the game of Curry is clearly their best player just like Harden is ours.

    Nah man, asking him to move the rock or move it without 2 seconds left on the clock, or get his ass up the court Instead of walking is too much to ask.


    Heck even Paul, one of the smartest players in NBA history was wrong to call James out . Let’s bag on a guy one the verge of an nba championship that has been clutch af throughout the playoffs while falling back on hypotheticals as moral victories

    1) Raps being healthy doesnt matter if GSW is healthy too

    2) IF this reaches game 7 then KD would have played more than 12 mins

    3) Kawhi is also banged up so I dont give a f about Klay and Kevon freaking looney

    4) At least Raptors got up 3-1 unlike Rox who couldnt even push GsW to game 7

    5) Even if you take away KD and Klay GSW still has more all stars than the Raptors. If Kawhi deserves shame for losing to complete GSW all star team Harden needs to be mortified losing in game 6 to KD and Cousin less Warriors.

    6) You guys are just bitter Rox failed and Raps got further. Look I've been a Rox fan since YaoMac days but Kawhi has indeed been much better than Harden in the playoffs.

    Harden scored. However, he wasn't the one playing defense on Curry or Thompson.

    Look at our roster and tell me who's suited to play fast. We have an old if not the oldest team. People forget our pace before CP got here. Our most athletic guy is Green. Yeah, let's push the pace even more so we can break that 0-27 record we set for ourselves last year. They're not machines.

    Yea but Im telling you its not just about that, Im telling you Klay gave him all star production. And he gives it way more consistently and he is a better defender than Gordon. Than you have Draymond, who plays amazing defense that will always help you win games. Then you have KD who they dont win this game without. Even the corpse of demarcus cousins was even able to be as effective(love you Clint) as Capela. Raptors should win, but lets not act like Curry is alone, he is not.

    OP and whoever liked is trash. Kawhi got a loaded team and a completely banged up. Warriors team. Still couldn’t close.

    Harden, bron a real number 1 would’ve ended this game If given such an advantage.
