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

Raptors getting hella open shots... I like it.

No way the Raptors can keep hitting those 3s

What the hell? Why aren't there any nifty Finals or trophy logos on the court like in years past? That's one of the best parts of the Finals! Silver is slacking. Bring back Stern!

I remember they used to put the Larry O'Bryant trophy in the middle of the court but I agree, the playoffs/finals logo was a great thing to behold.

God abc’s desk is awful

I agree but I got criticized by a Raptors fans when I posted how I'll miss the TNT crew at the end of game 6 last week

I don't think TNT will get a Finals any time soon. The NBA really likes the fact that their partnership with Disney (ESPN/ABC) gets the Finals on network television (ABC). That's way more homes than just cable. So unless Turner can strike a joint partnership with a network (like they have for the NCAA tournament with CBS), the Finals are probably staying with ABC/ESPN

Been like that for at least 2 or 3 years now

Really? I know the trophy has been gone but I could have sworn they still did Finals logos

They did last year.

Dubs defense laxing a bit. That was a way too easy 3.

I don't mind ABC/ESPN commentators. Actually prefer them over TNT. Just can't stand their studio crew.

Tim Legler should be here. He is the best they have at ESPN right now

Fucking killjoy.

why on earth is a talentless hack like Beadle at the NBA finals?

Ima go with "blowjobs"

 

[tlance]

Jordan Bell is ridiculously non-chalant with the ball.

Not sure I would play him very much this series if I were Kerr.

Looney, Bogut and Cousins should be able to split the minutes at the 5

What?? Bo you better google them... Even Gasol can hit that on the regular

In before Monty posts about how lazy and lackadaisical they are and predicts Raptors in a sweep.

 

[bksballer89]

5 for Green and 6 for Gasol.

More than they had in several games of the ECF

 

[Bart]

The West weak apparently. It made the W's look better than they are.

Dem Bigs

 

[MizzouFalcon]

Raptors in 4.

 

[Darth_Tom]

Game 7 is on June 16th... they love dragging this thing into mid-June. Sheesh.

 

[bksballer89]

2 on Draymond

We pretty much expected the Warriors would not be ready to play after such a long lay off. They'll win game 2 though.
