If he makes it then it's audacious. If he doesn't it's stupid because he didn't need to. Has nothing to do with hatred. Usually in possessions like that you're not supposed to take any chances to give the ball to the opposition'. So credit to him, he made it. But if he didn't, we'd be having a very different discussion right now. I'm pretty sure it's you and your mates that'll be coming for him. You Warriors fans are just so insecure!

Any shot that is made cannot be a bad shot I am sorry. Especially when it is wide open. There is no guarantee Toronto rebounds the ball if he misses. All those whatabouteries that these fake pundits are going off on is nauseating and superficial.

Did Chris Carter and Nick Wright just called Iguodala's shot an idiotic terrible shot respectively. What happened to making the right shots at the right moments? Some people would say: Raptor lost because they missed their open shots, i am sorry how do people lose or win? isn't that one of the ways of losing. Perhaps we could say, the warriors missed a lot of open looks in the first game, that was why we lost. But no, in that case for the analysts, the Raptors deserved it, they played better. This hatred is becoming really annoying.

Why you dey vex ni? This narrative has not changed. When we lost after leading 31 to Clippers we deserved it. But if we win from a deficit..the other team deserved it. When we won in 2015, all the teams we faced had injuries so our title had an asterisk. Yet when we had injuries in 2016 we deserved to lose and the Cavs figured out how to beat us. This season how many injuries have we had in the playoffs? Who is talking about it? Who is talking asterisk? LOL. Who brings up Curry's injury in 2016? But even this season we kept hearing about Lillard's rib bone and how it was affecting him.

As per Iggy they got their argument from JVG who was complaining that Iggy took the shot too early. LOL. A shot he made. BTW, notice that Curry was CLEARLY fouled by Siakam and FVV but the Refs swallowed their whistle. Not one soul has talked about it except Grant Hill. McKinnie, Jerebko missed 4 WIDE OPEN 3pt shots in the first half..and nobody talked about it. But I heard them repeating that Raptors missed open shots. LOL. Open shots with someone in your face.

The one thing the Raptors did was get all the 2nd chance points in the game which was like 23 to 0 or something like that. But if anyone feels that a team deserved to win a game that they were down by 11pts with 3mins to go where they used 6FTs and 1 3pt to bring the deficit to within 2 pts. It is their prerogative.

benji93:
You can see Demarcus was ok tonight, his contribution was vital, despite being slow for most of the night. Pascal flickers again.

Yes he was. Offensively by passing really well and defensively he gave us boards. I was really impressed by him. Although, Kerr helped him our by playing to his strengths when he got the ball in the post. We also used help D to prevent him from being abused in the PnRs. Can't fault his game at all today. With Looney out..he was really really really big.

CuteRedd:
Actually no. He hasn’t been cleared for team practice yet.

Not team practice. Some people on Reddit said he trained alone. As per shooting practice.

Hardetayour:
What if... Sometimes don't take risks

Trust me my issue with Shaun dey here. In my house here I was so mad at the pass like dude look the other way.

But as per we won, and he gave a beautiful dummy pass to Iggy.

I have forgiven.

CuteRedd:
What do you think about Durant?

I think if we lost KD would have played game 3. I think they just don't want to worsen it because they feel they can eke out wins without him still.

He has trained in the last few days.

Hardetayour:
The tipping point for me was Livingstons poverty pass to Curry that Van Vleet stole. Why not just change directions and play.

He made up for it with his pass to Iggy for the win.

Hardetayour:
This injuries tho. I hope they come back healthy.

That 3rd quarter run saved our ass.

The last 5 mins was down to....

I mean, it was clear as day.

Kawhi is too good a player to be getting touch fouls. It was so hard to guard him as a result.

CuteRedd:
Why do I think Durant is out for the entire finals. But warriors playing the bluff game.

God pls let Klay and Looney be ok! We are already depleted

That is my prayer. Klay looked like a hamstring but then he jogged for a bit and was walking around with an ice pack on his thigh so maybe it is not that bad.

Looney should be okay. He was in pain and we did not want to worsen it. Better to be home when you have such potential injuries. Jerebko and McKinnie will shoot well at the oracle. I can bet on that.

The last 5 mins...

Hmmm.

If I talk...

Hmmm.

Okay.

So second-chance points.

Take it out and we blow them out.

Hardetayour:
Refs are smoking shit now. Free tech. Issoaky

Just bite your tongue.

Hardetayour:
Kawhi be pushing off with his off hand but what do I know.

StOp CoMpLaInInG aBoUt ThE rEfS.

Dirty Dirty play by the Raptors.

Both him and Cook got their landing spaces taken.

Bad play.

Klay told them to get a foul. I wonder why they just left Serge to shoot. That was bad play. Bad play.

I pray Klay is ok.

See, Kawhi can play, but you are making it ×2 harder to guard him please.

Hardetayour:
That McKinnie own entered my soul. At least hit the rim man. Jerebko needs to calm down and not rush. His release is too slow sef, I prefer him at the 5 position when cousin sits.

He is a really good spot-up shooter. I just don't know what happened. Jerebko that is.

Hardetayour:
Missing defensive assignments, poor shooting from bench bums (has any of them scored yet).Van vleet with some of his lucky shots. At least Siakam is not hot today.

Lowry and Gasol with three fouls already, attack them more.

The poor shooting on wide open 3s is painful because they have not missed theirs. Mckinnie even shot an airball once.

Jerebko is better than this. At least rebound when you miss too.

KarnThornheart:
Boogie had a few favorable calls, curry too.

Boogie did once true. Because Lowry did. The other time, Gasol clearly shoved Boogie.

FVV has cooked us offensively. It must be said. And he has not missed a wide open shot.

That Curry FT was to compensate for the FTs Kawhi got in that possession where he clearly jumped up and down with the ball.

KarnThornheart:
You sure about that? Man just got his pocket picked by Van Vleet.

Yea..he has picked Kawhi's pocket too. It happens.

Curry will get his. We are down 5 because of missed wide open shots from the role players.

God see 3 TOs.

GSW, why?

KarnThornheart:
Why is it that a lot of times when your man is needed the most hes either sick, injured or AWOL?

He will come good.

Please who saw the call they gave to Kawhi now?

Okay. Hard screen by Gasol but it was not intentional. I hope Iggy is okay.

This half was down to extremely bad shooting on wide open shots. The shots FVV is making are the types Mckinnie, Jerebko and Cook missed.

Curry missing layups.

Okay.

Missed Draymond layup. Dunk for Powell. Missed wide open 3 for Jerebko. And 1 for Kawhi. 11pt lead for Raptors.

No, the role players have to shoot better in this.

Now Curry is missing defensive assignments.

Please Mckinnie and Jerebko, make those open 3s. Curry will still get his. I don't mind when he misses.

These rotations Kerr. There is no spacing with it. They know you want the ball in Klay's hands. I think we can try Boogie in the post a little.

At least the refs are calling the holding fouls on Curry. That should deter FVV from continuing to guard him that way.

Couple offensive boards we let them get at the end there but good D all game.

Warriors!

birdman:
but you do this EVERY loss. Every one

I complained about games 2 & 3 of the Blazers series. We lost those games clearly.

I complained about game 2 of the Rockets series. We lost that game as well.

You have a point.

I did not read you on the game 1 of the Rockets series. Some other guy who keeps yapping about the Cavs does not mention specific games from last year's playoffs and prior that he felt the Cavs were robbed. You did not go full gaga last year's finals game 1 about the block or charge between Lebron and KD.

I was the only complaining about Refs. Because I support a team that always wins regardless of its most valuable player getting dragged and pushed without calls when he gets 5 fouls per game for just trying to play D.

Okay.
