GSW 5-6 fingers crossed for the raptors though.

GSW 5-6 fingers crossed for the raptors though.

I was pulling for the raptors even though I knew they were gonna lose anyways but that all changed when a Toronto writer that writes for the Raptors said some shit about America so now I'm rooting for the team based in America since he doesn't deserve the honor of having his hometown team win if he wants to make it an America vs Canada thing like he did

GSW in 5. They are well rested so I don't see Toronto winning more than 1.

Actually being well rested may not be an advantage.

Both the 76ers & Bucks finished their EC semis much earlier than Raps and yet Kawhi et al managed to summon the extra 10-15% of mental strength & effort to beat both teams.

Kawhi is keen to prove to all of us that he's just as world class as KD and Lebron. I think Raps as underdogs...you can't rule out an upset series win right down to the wire.

Last not least, this Raps team is way harder to beat due to the higher quality than the last 2 Cavs led by Lebron.

Kawhi don't need to prove anything to anyone since '14 finals...people dont like as much as LBJ & KD because he simply avoid media,but if you ask any GM or coach who would you pick if you can start a franchise today im pretty much 90% would go with KAWHI...guy is alien,name me a player who is efficient as Kawhi in both ends,not from past 3-4 years but in last 2-3 decades
People underestimate raptors but i dont think GSW will win easy,if raptors bench return to level of last year and they manage to take D.GREEN out of his defensive zone GSW are in big trouble

as long as raptors managed to get 2 games win. the series will be interesting. i think nick nurse very good in reading the opponent play style. just see how they can comeback against bucks

 

[picklegoat]

GSW will win this series unfortunately... probably in 6. With that said, Toronto is probably literally the only team in the NBA because of Kawhi that they would really fear in a road game 7 so if the Raptors can win a few early pre-KD return...

Anyone wanna call game 1 yet?

Anyone wanna call game 1 yet?

Too close to call.. looks like a golden state run away from them winning.. unless kawhi steps up in the 4th.
But toronto is defending well enuf and siakam playing well enuf to get the win

 

[timsg0102]

Raps win Game 1 with 9 points gap vs Dubs...

 

[Stewie309]

I had the Raptors winning game 1 and the Warriors winning games 2-5 so that's definitely in play still and I like Siakam cards so I'm ready for that POTG card for him and I liked all the gold used in the broadcast

 

[SAVAGE21_NBA]

It was a really good game warriors need to improve the defence and klay needs to step up

Boogie isn't ready to play yet

 

[timsg0102]

I can still remember the 16/17 season when FVV of the Raps was either a bronze card or a silver with only 59 to 60+ over rating in this game.

I didn't know FVV would become so much better in the 3 years since...

God knows if Jeremy Lin makes an appearance and plays a blinder from the bench or makes a crucial buzzer beater to beat his former team that he joined after being undrafted 9 years ago. Anything can happen, we just dunno.

E-40 be sounding nervous in that closing interview.

I had the Raptors winning game 1 and the Warriors winning games 2-5 so that's definitely in play still and I like Siakam cards so I'm ready for that POTG card for him and I lived all the gold used in the broadcast

'Lived the gold used in the broadcast'???

Sorry I type so fast that I hit send before proof reading sometimes I catch it most times I don't I meant liked lol

 

[ramizi]

Go Raptors!
I guess pascal siakam will be player of the game?

 

[AngryOrange]

Just posted up a poll to this thread. Vote for who you think will win the Finals!

 

[Steve Rogers]

So today after maintenance we will have an event in which we can win siakam if im right(not that there is high chance of getting it from that event)
