    I want the Warriors to win because I don't want anyone else beating them besides the Rockets. GSW can win all the championships until the end of time. That isn't saying I wouldn't be happy for the Raptors, but a Canadian win would put me in a jelly-induced coma.

    Too bad Lowry didn’t make that shot. He would’ve been a legend in Toronto. I can’t keep watching the warriors win it makes me sick

    I'd rather take a chance on the primary defender attempting to fight over that while Cousins hedges the screen.

    People piling on Lowry but all he did was stand in the corner while kawhi iso’d and dribble dribbled and passed out at the last second for Lowry then to have to heave a desperation shot at the end to bail kawhi out.

    ;)

    Maybe. Tough call either way - a good screener will probably be able to get his man a clean look.

    That's like something we do. Choke.
    I swore off basketball after our loss, but wanted to see GSW lose so bad I watched like the last 5 min of these last two games. Tonight brought all that disgust I have for Cocky Curry right back up like the taste of vomit when you drink spoiled milk. I did that once in the Navy and had that taste coming up all day.

    Just seeing Curry standing on the sideline with his baby blankie towel draped on his head is nauseating. Maybe he feels like a little Princess wearing the towel. Honestly, it seems like everything he does annoys me. His constant head shaking like they were wronged, his mouth guard hanging and chewing, his cocky smirks and antics, ugh. I for one won't be supporting Baby Pacifier Curry's putt putt golf game show they keep advertising by even watching a single minute of it.

    I guess Toronto sealing this Championship by winning in Golden State, right in front of their crying fans would be even better though. That would make me smile. I have to hope that will happen because the thought of GSW coming back after being down 3-1 is sick. Regardless, I will only be able to stomach 5 min of the 4th quarter, and only if it is Toronto is ahead.....LOL.

    If that was shaq in the early 2000s the refs look the other way on BOTH calls.

    By hedging, you are at least in a position to contest. It opens up the role man but that's when you have to help the helper. Who knows, maybe Ibaka mishandles some of those passes or misses some shots.

    Enough of calling it a ‘choke’ every time a team loses now.

    Oilers losing after 35-3, yes that’s a choke. Rockets losing a 20 point lead in the 4th quarter in the 94 playoffs, I suppose you can call that a choke.

    Missing a potential game winning shot is not a choke, it’s just a missed shot FFS.

    Lol at comparing the Raptors to the Rockets, as if choking has never been a part of the Raptors' DNA.

    No - they just have to win one more so to speak. If they force a game 7 it's probably over - warriors win.

    In a game 7 ---even if they're on the road - I would not want to face a warrior team that has been there b4, wants to 3 peat, and is trying to do it for KD.
