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

[tlance]

So tied at 1-1 and with serious questions surrounding the health of the Warriors, this series is very much up in the air.

Obviously Kawhi gets Finals MVP if Toronto wins

But for GS?

Through 2 games it has been Draymond IMO. Could make a pretty compelling case for any of their core 3.

DeMarcus Cousins

DeMarcus Cousins

He had a forgettable game 1 though. I think Draymond or Steph would be Finals MVP (I'd lean with Draymond though) at this point; which is obviously going to change.

This series is going to be a good one. Go fuck off.

I hope you’re right. It feels like 4-1 GSW to me. We’ll see tho.

Warriors D had something to do with that

Did anyone really think Siakam/Gasol would combine for 50+ ever again in this series?

 

[msgkings322]

We shall see what the MRIs bring.

Losing either would be harmful, but if Klay can't play game 3 and KD is not ready to return I just can't imagine a way that the Warriors would be able to pull that out.

They are the Warriors so not going to say it is impossible, but damn.

Read the link. I expect Klay to play just like Iggy did game 2

Not against this defense, no

 

[msgkings322]

It wasn't them being scared. Van Gundy mentioned Nick Nurse going into a specific defensive set which confused the Warriors.

It's never that they're "scared". They are 3 time champions, they've played like 100 playoff games. They might be the most playoff tested group ever. It's just more of this guy's bullshit.

Man, that third quarter. GSW gave Toronto a good chance to get it close in the final 5 minutes and they just couldn't take advantage.

Going to be an uphill battle from here. One of Siakam or Lowry absolutely have to step the fuck up and Lowry needs to stop fouling out.

Good thing for Toronto is they got their shots. They were just missing. Sure they'll gladly take those shots the rest of the series

Bad thing for Toronto is I don't trust Gasol and Greeen at all.

This.

Siakam gave the performance of his life in game 1. To beat the dubs, he or someone else needs have a similar effort every game.

 

[trojanfan12]

The league was so boring during Jordan's Bulls and Shaq/Kobe's Lakers.

Gonna have to disagree here.

Nor do I. It's really one of the two guys I mentioned or bust.

I wouldn't say the performance of his life. He put up games like that frequently in the regular season/playoffs but as I said before, they need a balanced attack to beat GSW or they need Siakam/Kawhi to dominate with not a lot of help from the other 3

Gonna have to disagree here.

I think that may have been sarcasm on his part?

We will see. I cant see the raps laying down here. Going to be a dogfight

I sure hope so...Warriors in 5 is still on the table unless the Raps come out strong on Wednesday

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

What problem is that? Best coached team wins?

LOL at Kerr doing any "coaching"
