NBA 2019 NBA Finals: (E2) Toronto Raptors vs. (W1) Golden State Warriors

[CupofOil]

There is no way it is this simple. I kinda doubt Durant even comes back this year regardless, but just a guess.

Gotta say this kinda shows just how good Thompson actually is. Curry has the game of his life and the Raptors still lead somewhat comfortably.

Thompson, Durant, Looney, Cousins at half strength. It's a mash unit out there.

The Raptors are a high quality team but they'd have no chance if the Warriors were healthy. Not many teams in NBA history would have a shot.

Big three VanVleet!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Fred with the DAGGER!

 

[PeakMcOil]

Andrew Bogut is getting minutes late in a close 4th quarter game in the NBA finals.

What year is this?

 

[Del Preston]

FVV

 

[Mickey Marner]

It's baffling that Green never gets a tech for throwing temper tantrums.

 

[PBandJ]

God damn FVV!!

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

These refs are disgusting, do they really feel they need to help a team against such a depleted team

 

[jasonleaffan]

What's going here? Everyone was saying Golden State would sweep Toronto, including 8 people on these boards.

That looked like a walk there by Kawhi.

The refs really allow Curry to do whatever he wants. Jumps in the air then starts his dribble. Even 2nd graders know you can't do that

Steph Carry

More contact on that shot than any 3 Curry has taken in this series.

Yep, after he got fouled by McKinnie.

 

[Deen]

Not sure Raptors can keep shooting the 3 like this going forward.

 

[John Price]

Rare Jeremy Lin sighting

I laughed at the whole the warriors would be better without a top 5, maybe even no 1 player, but Thompson is underrated imo, and he does it on both ends of the court.

I agree that this Warriors team, theoretically, is about as good as it has ever been. But f*** that, that isn't how sports work. Let's go boys.

 

[Scotty Pucks]

I’m not the least bit concerned if I’m a Dubs fan. This was a must-win for Toronto. Difficulty will increase tenfold when Klay and/or KD return.

 

[John Price]

So other than Game 2 3rd quarter the Raptors have steamrolled the Warriors.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

As happy as I am with the Raptors winning tonight AND taking a 2-1 lead, I cannot help but be disappointed that they choked game 2 away. It really should be 3-0.

 

[Del Preston]

Raps have won 10 of 12 quarters.

 

[kovacro]

Lots of basketball left in this series.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Warriors are on the run if they can't get Durant or Thompson back.

Even then they showed they can hang against Steph/Klay.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Not sure Raptors can keep shooting the 3 like this going forward.

They had 2 more 3's in 2 more attempts last I saw.

No doubt and good on the Raptors for taking advantage.

I'm rooting for the Raptors but it would be nice if the Warriors got back to full strength. The Finals would feel hollow if Durant didn't come back.
