Series Thread: NBA Finals: Toronto Raptors vs Golden State Warriors

[GNG]

LOL at Milwaukee.....wins the first 2 games and then loses 4 straight games.

They folded like a cheap suit.

I have the Warriors winning in five. A Bucks/Warrior matchup would have been better in my opinion.

It wouldn't actually. Warriors would have done exactly what Toronto did Giannis but only better.

Warriors would sweep the Bucks

I really don't care.

Trying to help you out.

I disagree. The Warriors are a great offensive machine but don't play great defense.

In the playoffs they are probably the best defensive team. Open your eyes.

My eyes are open and I stand by my statement.

His comment was ridiculous but when basing it on statistics, Toronto been a way better defensive team in the playoffs than the Warriors.

That's touching. You're wrong, but good for you!

I did say 'probably'. Depends on the quality of offenses the two teams played as well. OK so second best. Agreed on the ridiculousness.

It's not second best either....the playoffs numbers are easy to find.

I'm not wrong but we can agree to disagree on this.

 

[msgkings322]

Do the numbers account for how good the offenses they have each faced?

 

[msgkings322]

Of course you are, and yes we can agree to do that.

Yes they are.

The numbers are the numbers lol.

Warriors are a middle of the pack defense in the playoffs when you break it down

Well, numbers have nuances. For example, someone might score 30 points a game and another might score 27. 30 is more, so those numbers are better. But the 27 might be more efficient. Now which is better?

I'd take the Ws defense over any playoff team except maybe the Bucks and Raptors.

 

[bksballer89]

There's not a big difference when you look at the offensive #'s of Houston/Portland and Philly/Milwaukee

All 4 were really good offensive teams this year

 

[True Lakers Fan]

Its going to be tough but we are here. And the games still need to be played.
They earned their spot in the finals and they will fight to the last buzzer.

This team is full of heart and grit. Hopefully they have enough to shock the NBA world

Hey man....Good Luck. I would love to see Toronto win it and I agreee

 

[bksballer89]

And if we're being honest, Warriors been winning games in the playoffs because of their offense while Toronto been winning games with defense.

I don't think anyone been watching these playoffs and think man this Warrior defense is amazing because it isn't.

They will have stretches where they are great but playing a half of really good defense doesn't make you a top 2 defense in the playoffs.

They're winning games because of their offense and that's what is likely going to get them another title.....and there is nothing wrong with that
