NBA Finals Poll: Raptors vs. Warriors

blackbears86 · 05-28-2019, 08:04 AM

Let's make it official!

Raptors or Warriors?

ClipsandVols · 05-28-2019, 08:06 AM

Warriors in 5

blackbears86 · 05-28-2019, 08:33 AM

Is it too late to add options?

I can't figure out how to add options. (I.e: Raptors in 6, etc...)

jlzinck · 05-28-2019, 08:35 AM

I would love to see Toronto win but the lure of seeing Drake cry on the floor is too great to pass up

codered · 05-28-2019, 08:56 AM

No KD (which I think is going to happen, I think his injury is more serious than people think) - Raps in 6

Series changes obviously if KD is back a healthy

KB81 · 05-28-2019, 09:37 AM

Expected: Dubs in 5
Possibility: Dubs in 6
Unlikely: a game 7
What would make for great ratings and excitement: Dubs in 7 by 1 point in a low scoring game

Let's go Dubs!

Says the guy who will probably be watching every second.

Yes we do because more people are picking the Raptors than expected.

imbluestreak23 · 05-28-2019, 10:45 AM

I'll say Warriors in 6

blackbears86 · 05-28-2019, 10:53 AM

The Raptors have really stepped up, but this is the Warriors to lose KD or no KD.

The Warriors can afford to have a player or two have a bad game and still win. The Raptors cannot afford that luxury.

33% of you need to go to drug rehab ASAP

At what point in these playoffs, did the Warriors show they needed KD?

yiguiri2002 · 05-28-2019, 11:42 AM

In their last 4 games, Raptors outscored the Bucks by 9 PPG
In their last 4 games, Warriors outscored the Blazers by 9.5 PPG

I think it's crazier to think the Warriors sweep or win in 5 than to think the Raptors can win (although either has a chance of happening). Without KD, this series is gonna be close.

the mesiah · 05-28-2019, 11:42 AM

With or without KD, it’s the Warriors that’s going to be on top .GSW are a different animal than the inexperienced Bucks ..Kawhi would have put on a Jordan NBA Finals like performance thru out the series and I don’t think he has it in him and role players would have to play at their highest possible level and be mistake free .

ballhawkdawk · 05-28-2019, 11:45 AM

Taking the Warriors, but some of you must not be paying attention to just how good Toronto is. It’s easy to look at the teams on paper and their histories and draw a quick conclusion. Toronto just went four in a row against the team with the best record in the NBA and made Giannis look mortal in the process. This team defends incredibly well and has the best player in the series. Kawhi is better than all of them. They also have a significant size advantage, which GSW hasn’t had to deal with in the West. I’m excited and looking forward to a great series.

jbettis32 · 05-28-2019, 11:48 AM

I still dont see anyone can stop a healthy Kawhi in the Warriors, so if Kawhi plays out well and Kyle, Siakam, and Vanvleet have little pressure to play their game. Once Raptors can take game one, all the pressure is on the Warriors then. It should be a tight series not as the press hypes at a 4 or 5 games series.

No KD, warriors in 5. Raptors in 7 if KD comes back.

Because they beat Houston one game and swept a blazers team without their best post player (Nurkic is infinity better than Kanter who is terrible on D) and their best player separated his ribs game two, that makes you think they don’t need KD? Short sighted much?

Without KD this team is much worse than their 14-15 counterpart that struggled to win in 6 against a lebron lead cavs team that didn’t have Love or Kyrie. The raptors are much better than the cavs team that didn’t have Love/Kyrie in the finals. When lebron had Kyrie and Love the KDless warriors couldn’t defend him so they had to go out a get KD (writing that made me throw up a little as I’m not a lebron fan boy at all lol) to defend and beat lebron. Kawhi is in that same ballpark. Without KD they don’t have anyone that can defend Kawhi one on one (no disrespect to klay and your best kawhi defender is no longer on your team, cheap shot Zaza). Guys like iggy, Livingston and Bogut are much older, no barnes and the bench of iggy, barbosa, lee and ezeli is much better than the bench you have now.

Wait, so this logic doesnt apply when flipping sides? Clippers and Trailblazers are not the Raptors.

This series will be closer than everyone is making it out to be.
