Not just Kawhi, but also without Lowry, and with badly hobbled role players like Ibaka and Siakam. (Klay, KD, Looney, Iguodala)

Still, hypotheticals at this point. Toronto's top 7 didn't miss a single game in the playoffs.

Well being that is takes 5 all stars to beat Lebron..... I dont care so glad GSW lost haha

Pathora · 06-13-2019, 11:09 PM

Quit talking about guys not on that podium Doris, Marc doesn't care about the Grizzlies atm.

This is a different series with Durant and healthy Klay. Everyone knows it. Y’all pretend like the Raptors were a bunch of bums. They have very good 1-8 rotation. The Warriors were depleted. Few of those guys they threw out there had no business getting any minutes.

Before you call me a homer or apologist, please note that I picked the Raptors in 6.

You absolutely nailed this on the head.

There's a lot of pain behind the eyes of LeBron fans though. Little do they realize, Kawhi is the new enemy, not GS.

Haha this is me. I still love that 2011 Mavs team, too.

2011 Mavs and 2019 Raps.

Beautiful. I also gott give love and credit to the 2014 Spurs. The way they came back and wiped the floor with the Heat was a thing of beauty. Oh, and that same Kawhi guy was a part of that one. And Mr. Green.

the City of Toronto is currently going nuts!

19royaldecker87 · 06-13-2019, 11:11 PM

Thank you Raptors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-western conference teams

jeg2315 · 06-13-2019, 11:11 PM

I'll only say this once to get it out of my system.

If the Warriors were as healthy as the Raptors were, Warriors win 4-1 or 4-2 at longest.

Well if all 4 want to stay and GS can only sign 3, I hope it's bye bye Draymond. His act is wearing thin.

eastbayak · 06-13-2019, 11:12 PM

Sad about outcome but proud of the effort. Dubs didn’t play perfect basketball or anything but I’m still inspired because they played their hearts out.

Congratulations to all Toronto Raptors fans!!! Your team earned it!!! Enjoy it!!!!

Did 5 all stars beat Lebron all 6 times he lost in The Finals?

pennywise · 06-13-2019, 11:13 PM

I understand the disappointment from Warriors fans but y'all are extra salty. Just congratulate the other team and take the L with some class.

coltsnsox07 · 06-13-2019, 11:13 PM

Kawhi putting Toronto on his shoulders and winning a title is more impressive than Lebron in Cleveland I think.

Melagoo · 06-13-2019, 11:13 PM

police have closed Young and Dundas ... that is huge!

cnewby · 06-13-2019, 11:14 PM

EMB lurking....c'mon bro, let's hear your take on the series.

With klay they still winning. Durant makes them a cheap team and still had 4 all stars without him and iggy so no one feels bad. Curry choked and raptors defense was great.

Ultimately I think this was the likely scenario, but I would have loved to see the KD vs Kawhi match up.

Crazy to think that the warriors didn't win a home game in this finals.

Curry has led the team to multiple finals. Without him, they aren't playing in them. A lot of hate in this statement, you must be a fan of an East team.

KD joined the team AFTER the 2015 Championship and 2016 loss. The injury to Klay this series was the breaking point.

He's an important part of the team, I'd hope they would. The 2015 banner next to those two, did you forget about that one?

Save injuries, the team is still really strong so there is no need to rebuild.

PKIPP · 06-13-2019, 11:16 PM

Danny Green pulled the basketball equivalent of a Bill Buckner, only to be outdone by Draymond Green pulling a Chris Webber. Fun game.

No but the last 2 years yes cause Lebron owns them. It was 1 on 5 last year and in 2015.
