Raptors Discussion: v81|Raptors beat Bucks 4-2 | next stop: NBA FINALS!

This doesn’t happen without the quiet calm excellence of Kawhi. Doesn’t happen without the ballsy trade Masai made to bring Kawhi here. It also doesn’t happen without Nick Nurse making adjustments in game (Kawhi on Giannis), playing the heck out out of his stars, and sitting players who weren’t producing (Green). Babcock, are you paying attention ?

Babcock didn't have stars who wants it like Kawhi or Kyle to play the heck out let alone produce. Enough already. The blame for the Leafs losing is on the so called studs. Matthews, JT, Marner, Nylander, Reilly and Andersson. That's who's at fault not Babcock.

Unbelievable. Love this team. Thinking of flying out of Vancouver to watch the first two games at Jurassic Park and if tickets are like $300 USD (doubt it) then a game LOL.

They will be 300 minimum for standings room, potentially more. You should still come Loose Moose, Real Sports and other venues are right there and it's an amazing atmosphere. The street get wild haha

You making 100k+ a year?

Even for someone making 100k, ticket prices are pretty high.

Still laughing at the guy who said the Raps had a chance to win in 7 after game 3. What a negative boob.

I'm more impressed with the guy here who said before the series even started that the Bucks would win the first two, and then the Raptors would reel off four straight wins.

They lost because of VanVleet

They lost because Middleton and Bledsoe played like crap. As well Giannis and Bledsoe were 1st team all NBA defensive players. They didn't play like it.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Giannis and Middleton got some very tough questions in the post game presser

Seemed like the Raptors defence shut them down.

Middleton played like crap because he used up all of his energy guarding the best player in the league. Bledsoe played like crap because he's not that great to begin with, and because the Raptors defense and Kyle/Fred did a great job on him.

Milwakee played their hearts out - they just got beat by a slightly better, more experienced team who also happens to be the best defensive team in the league. The only Bucks player who should be ashamed of their performance this series is Mirotic - he gave them nothing and was their weakest point on D.

I thought this was a photoshop and the antlers were kawhi's hand cuz they're so f***ing big lol.

 

[Cloned]

LOL!

 

[Guy Boucher]

I'm so happy to witness Kawhi. Can't believe some fans cried about that trade lol.

Find the quote, I'd love to praise the man!

Why is Skip Bayless so Kawhi obsessed? This guy looks like Barry Manilow.

He's a Spurs fan.

Does anyone remember Giannis saying the East is up for grabs now that Lebron is out of the conference? After that, he went 1-4.

Giannis: East 'definitely open' without LeBron

Shout out to @theaub made this post before game 1. Also @Diamond Joe Quimby who agreed with the prediction and called one of the two losses being a blowout win for bucks( said g2 but was g2 but still close). They made their posts on may 14th in case anyone cares

"My prediction: the Raps get absolutely destroyed in two games and win the other four."​

 

[hockeywiz542]

Stephen A. Smith reacts to Kawhi, Raptors advance to first-ever NBA Finals, will play Warriors

 

[razor ray]

That can’t be right.

 

[Maplebeasts]

LOL!

Salty tears are the most delicious.

 

[yvrtojfk]

Alright, I can probably be there for Game 4 and Game 5 in Toronto. Will know if my friends from Montreal are up for it. Just saw the prices. Even if someone made $100K dropping $1500 for one ticket is steep. Jurassic Park will do.

 

[yvrtojfk]

Ya'll gotta stop feeding the troll. Keep bringing Skip up like an ex gf.

 

[Leafs87]

Gunna be a good finals !

 

[Ace of Hades]

I hope the raptors sweep the warriors. That would be amazing.

Excellent trades to get Leonard and Gasol.
