NBA Finals Poll: Raptors vs. Warriors - Page 99

LINSANITY FTW!!!!!!

That was a rough Finals to watch at times just because of all the injuries. Curry and Green had to be gassed toward the end there; they seemed to be running on fumes toward the end.

Rings for Gasol and Lin, which is nice to see.

You always want to see the best players out there, so it sucked to have Klay leave like that. He brought it tonight for sure.

Lowry gets a lot of criticism, but his first half was ridiculous and overall I thought he was pretty good in this series. Van Vleet was really clutch too. What a great game he had.

Kawhi a steady, calming influence. I really think that helped a lot of the Raptors players who had never played in a Finals before. He seems like a really good teammate.

Congrats to the Raptors. They earned it.

First NBA game was in Toronto!!! ... We the North!

Kingofkings1281 · 06-13-2019, 10:58 PM

Damn, I wish Vince was on this team.

Make no mistake, GS would have won in a sweep if not by game 5 if they had durant.

Yep.

To put this in perspective, imagine Toronto without Kawhi....they probably don't even make it out of the 2nd round.

The Warriors played incredibly just to make it this far with all their injuries.

yiguiri2002 · 06-13-2019, 10:59 PM

God, the East is gonna be so stacked next year. Can't wait for next season!

pennywise · 06-13-2019, 11:00 PM

So happy right now. This is great for the league.

cnewby · 06-13-2019, 11:00 PM

Announcers were obnoxious all night. Glad Tor put this one to bed.

P.s. Doris must be from Cali as well.

I can't see either KD or Klay leaving the Warriors given how the season ended, and I think the chances of Kawhi leaving Toronto for the Clippers just dropped significantly.

Did you see what I was responding to? I'm not taking anything away from what the Raptors did. Khal said that he thought Toronto would have still won if GS was at full strength and I responded to that. I also realize the Warriors benefited from injuries their first Championship, but this is the second one they've lost where injuries contributed although the first one was not as severe as this one. That's part of the game though. People saying their dynasty is over and they will be out in the first round next year are on that pipe though. This could all be a blessing in disguise if KD ultimately decides to sign long term with GS. We shall see. Free agency will be interesting for sure. Does Kawhi stay and sign long term or do a short term deal or leave?

Yes. It's amazing. I don't remember being this happy about a team winning since the Mavs beat the Heat.

Don’t think they can afford to keep Curry, Klay, Draymond, and Durant

BINGO only won cause of him last 2 years cause curry always chokes in finals.

jcardstore · 06-13-2019, 11:02 PM

The injuries ooohhhhh the injuries. Don’t want to hear it considering warriors had injury luck go in their favor in at least 3 series during this “dynasty”

tier1dc · 06-13-2019, 11:02 PM

Patrick McCaw just 3peated as NBA champion in his first 3 years in the league.

What a shell of themselves that GS team ended up.

Everyone said at the start of the season it would take an injury, turned out it took 4. Boogie rushing back out of shape, Iggy and his issues, KD wiped out and then Klay.

That is just crazy.

I feel Toronto are good enough to win anyway and it's not their fault.

Kawhi has tied KD for titles and only a measly one behind LeBron.

Melagoo · 06-13-2019, 11:02 PM

Kawhi MVP!
