Guy forget Drake. This game was poorly reffed. I think the team pretty much accepted it after the Klay tech.

The only good thing is, unlike the Rockets, the Raptors players were not actively fishing for calls. Refs were just giving them at "key moments".

Ofcourse they won't talk about it. It would be Curry couldn't get it done.

Yea bro.

No fears. We got this though. They had a couple hail mary shots that went in and Siakam and Gasol won't be this good again. Only issue is, will Kawhi be this quiet again?

They are puttting unnecessary pressure on the guy. It's like "you can only go to heaven, ifyou get the FMVP"

Shebi Every pundit has said he is the best player in the league. We looked scared to guard him because the refs were fishing for calls for him. He would miss a layup with no one on him and they will get a call. Yet Van Vleet was holding Curry at will.

I won't be too worried though. Except the ref ball is glaring again, we should take game 2. When the lead was down to 4 in the 7th min of the 4th Q, Draymond's layup should have been a goal tend but they called it a block. Then in quick succession they gave Curry 2 fouls, gave Klay 1, gave him a tech and put us in the bonus. Siakam then shuffled to pass the ball to the corner for D Green who hit that 3 and basically sealed the game.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:52am On May 31, 2019
The real game to watch is game 2. If the Warriors take game 2, be prepared for a gentleman's sweep. If otherwise, raptors might take in 6 or 7.

The real decider is game 2

You think Raptors can't win a game at the oracle?
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 8:30am On May 31, 2019
The one fear for GSW is that they have looked vulnerable at times at Oracle this season. If the Raptors nick just one games there then it at the very least gets to 6 games

It's too early to predict that. After a long break GSW lacked rhythm and tempo. It is also not sure that the raptors can reproduce the performance. Game 2 will tell it all

Serious question here. Why is it that every re.tarded lakers fan looks like this? If it's not a Chicano or a sand nigger it's a curry munching sprag called Ranjit. I hate this franchise and I hate their fans.

During the 1st quarter, the Warriors started out playing a high tempo offense but deep into the 2nd they just lost gas and could not maintain that high tempo especially in transition and to me, this has to do with the rust. This is a very experienced team and I expect Kerr to make some adjustments but they can not lose game 2 for any reason.
Lol, I like how y'all are really using this 9 days as an excuse, like it was 9 weeks or something. You guys are running out of catchphrases grin

LOL. Like I did not see you and the rest of the NBA rant about Refs in the rockets series (game 1)?

I'm sorry it is hard to see the rust and lack of rhythm every pseudo analyst wants to talk about when the game is being stopped by ticky tacky fouls at every point in time for the more physical team.

Demarcus won't be of much help in this series. He is awful on the pick and roll D and they kept exposing him in his short mins on the court. On the other end, Lowry or whoever will just flop around him and they will get the whistle.

Pascal's game was a fluke just like Myers Leonard's of the Blazers. I am not saying he cannot play but he will not be that efficient neither will he make some of those circus shots he made. Gasol won't be that efficient as well especially if PnRs put him in foul trouble early on.

2 things are key, the other players cannot consistently miss wide open 3s when Curry is being doubled. Draymond missed like 6 yesterday. Iggy missed a few himself. Another thing is, GSW might have to resort to PnRs early just to fight off the doubles that Raptors were throwing at Curry. Some of the transition D they were playing by jogging back was annoying and Shaun Livingston needs to only be in the line up to capitalize on smaller guards like Vleet or Lowry. Other wise he is useless.

But that still won't matter if the Refs call the game the way they did yesterday. If you can, watch the game at any point where Warriors could cut the deficit to 2 or 1. They either hit a big lucky shot (McCaw, Van Vleet, Siakam) or they got head-scratching foul calls after a miss. Those are momentum killers.

Dude, I begged you to get your own TV show or something grin Please, let that ref complaining poo end with the conference finals. This is the Finals man, you wouldn't want to remember it as one where the refs helped your team get swept, you should remember it as the Finals that categorically marked the end of the GS dynasty.

Like I said game 2 will tell the whole story.

Whoever wins game 2, save the KD factor will likely win the series.

It is not complaining if it is affecting the game. It affected the game. Like I said before, this is not meant to be an affront on the Raptors. It is directed at the NBA.

They can still renew it next year, though very unlikely. That guy is a good coach no doubt but not a great coach. However I don't understand those that want the rockets to get Ty Lue instead. Ty Lue?!

The guy is a great coach. I have him in my top 20 all time NBA coaches. He has always been unlucky though, man has always faced some juggernaut in his career.

He's a great coach no doubt but peeps (including me) have questioned his ability to tweak his style to adjust rather than sticking to one style of play wether lose or win.... I mean before any match, you already know what to expect from his team in terms of style of play..His tactics do not change.
