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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 1:07pm On Jun 03, 2019
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.

Ohh we have 5 all stars, 2 perennial DPOY candidates, 1 finals MVP, 3 of the greatest shooters of all time and 2 MVPs. No one is showing us any pity. How dare they? cheesy

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.

We just hate hearing narratives and agendas.

Today, everyone is saying Raptors missed open shots. LOL. Anyone can look for any video of the raptors missing those shots so I can see them. All I know is, each time they missed a shot they got an offensive rebound like 2 times and still made the shot. Then Boogie got blocked. Retrieved the ball dunked..they gave a jump ball. Then quickly seeded the possession to Raptors after Scot tossed the ball up wrongly. Then reversed a call when Gasol clearly touched the ball. I admit..it was not clear. Which is why you stick with the on-court call and not reverse it. Then FVV fouling Steph and tripping himself only to get replays for if it was a clear path foul. Then they tried to fix things by calling it a common foul. LOL. They should discuss that as well. Along with how Kawhi is allowed to elbow and travel and get and 1s.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:03pm On Jun 03, 2019
You hear that a good portion of GSW fans are mentally retardeȡ You're skeptical, then you see currysexuals start tweeting things like this and it erases all doubt. cheesy cheesy cheesy

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:08pm On Jun 03, 2019
But seriously, i still dont get why warriors fans are so obsessed with lebron, what can't you people just leave the old man alone?

All of that doesn't matter. The warriors are three peating, God willing. That's all that matters.

False, people make bad shots all the time. Any shot that is ill advised whether made or not is a bad shot. Like i said, credit to him, he took a bad shot and made it. Still a bad shot.
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 5:53pm On Jun 03, 2019
You are probably correct, We might come for him, if we missed it, given it was a wide wide open shot.

And don't forget, a shot he didn't need to make and could've cost you the match. I guess if it was Klay or curry taking that shot...

you have said it all. People said Warriors didn’t score in last 5mins as if Raptors were making theirs. Some offensive fouls that were called as block agains Warriors are just insane.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 9:50pm On Jun 03, 2019
I would give Steve Kerr credit for reaching deep into his bench last night. I don't recall any coach going 10 deep in an NBA Final especially considering that much maligned bench but in games like these a 6 points from Bogut here a 10 points from Cook there can make all the difference.

It says a lot about the players too that they come in ready to chip in and the fact that Kerr himself made his living from the bench makes him able to relate

Looking forward to Game 3. This series is still on a knife edge
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 9:57pm On Jun 03, 2019
Max Kellerman used that as a reason to take a shot at stephen curry, claiming that he came short again.

Has Max ever said anything that made sense to you.

Om Klays injury, did u see how he was hip checked by Danny Green before he came down? But no foul. Tony Brothers be doing the most. The jump ball that was changed into a foul too. Kawhi pushinf Dray off and still getting the foul. All bullshit. Van Vleet murdering Curry on every possession.

That one doesn’t have sense, he just talk like he have some. His “world best player” didn’t have any Fg, he only scored from free throws.

I felt the same way after last night however, it is also very important to credit the medical training staff of the Warriors. They are basically triaging with all the injuries they are being confronted with and still presenting Kerr with players to appear on the court. But this one is for Kerr, his rotation and player management was impressive.

Only one pundit talked about the push offs and traveling and that was Skip Bayless. And we know why. The rest of them were talking about his impressive game and how he carried his team.
