    We know how tough fandom can be.

    Watching that game last night, watching the Raptors lose that game in that fashion, I really felt bad for Raptors fans. There is some Raptor Forum somewhere that is on suicide watch.

    How insufferable would ClutchFans be to lose in this fashion with that backstory.

    The Warriors fan base and Bay Area media, along with the Warriors team and their Smug-ass coach can F-right off.

    In my opinion they did. Also in my opinion, Lebron's teammates suck compared to other playoff teams. So I believe they still lose the series, regardless of winning this game by a point in OT.

    thats odd. not sure how a team is playing well when they were never winning at any point in regulation. and in fact down doubt digits for most of the game but ok i guess your idea of playing well is different.

    Agreed. We’ve been there. I think we all know how they feel. 2005, 2007, etc.

    This is their only shot. They've got the #1 seed in the East. The Cavs have their weakest roster since LeBron returned from Miami. The Sixers are still young and maybe a year or two away. The Celtics are missing their 3 best players. They even finished with a better record than Golden State thanks to that team's late season injuries. And if they wind up facing the Rockets instead, they're the only team to not lose to them this season.

    Well if a crap team plays well, relative to how good of players they are. It doesn't mean they are good enough to win, or lead in a game.

    Is Houston hosting this game cause of a snow storm that went through Toronto?

    Also Kevin Love is dominating in the post. Go figure. Who whouldve thought Love would dominate in the one thing hes made a career on?

    I’m sure they are. I kinda feel bad for them and their fans. Lost their mojo.

    A Raptor fan in Raptor gear just made choke sign. I think I'm just going to root for Cleveland in this series.

    Lowry and Derozan aren’t a good enough duo to beat somebody like Lebron...neither of them are top 10 players, they’re just ok EC All-Stars
