Loved Breen saying Draymond's been better behaved after that technical. No he hasn't, they just haven't been punishing him for his complaining the last few games.

Nick Nurse is a very good coach. Rookie coach so he won't get his due but that guy is a helluva coach. He makes some very good in game adjustments.

Subtle adjustments at that.

Inserting Van Vleet to start the 2nd half was a great move. Gave them more spacing and 3 ball handlers. They have spread G.S. out and they are beating them off the bounce.

Kawhi is taking over too.

Far be it from me to suggest how anyone should troll, but I believe someone should inform vegan of Golden State's winning percentage without Durant this year going into the finals compared to 2016 and in turn place Lebron's achievement that year in historical comparative context.

Your reminder that this sport is horrible. Pick a fucking jersey, yea? All these players are soft too.

Remember, if this is your favorite sport, kill yourself. The world would be better.

Literally no one cares. Hang yourself.

Look at all of Toronto pretend to care about african handball. Just a product of the Leafs not winning anything. Be yourself, Toronto. You don't care.

Sad.

HG use to be a great poster. How the mighty has fallen.

I actually thought they looked better when he left. Dude was dribbling into his defender, screwing up fast breaks, taking I'll advised shots etc. That elbow from Livingston was a blessing in disguise.

You thought wrong as usual. He was +12 for the game. They scored 44 points for the first half. They scored 37 in the 3rd quarter alone.

They were down 4 at the half and up 12 at the end of 3. After Van Vleet was inserted into the lineup. Danny Green hurt them in the first half. Couldn't make a shot.

Van Vleet opened the game up in the third with his dribble penetration. They want him to put pressure on the defense so "dribbling into his man" really isn't that much of a problem. Placing him into the game allowed them to have 3 ball handlers in the game. He helped relieve some of G.S's pressure.

Plus he helped contain Curry. Curry started getting it going only after Van Vleet went out in the 4th.

Haven’t been able to watch a second of the last three games (on vacation), but I’m still shocked it’s 3-1, even with injuries. I’ve got them on the DVR for when we return. Wouldn’t mind it going 6 or 7, so I can watch live! Go Raptors!

Let the record show that these were his thoughts about the Raptors after the Philly series. Thoughts while Toronto was down 0-2 to Milwaukee.
Can you say revisionist?



Only to somehow end up here. Now this is quite the evolution in thought dare I say.

Warriors without Durant this year: 31-1 (.969)
2016 Warriors before the finals: 85-14 (.859)

Also Kyrie>Lowry as a second option and the Warriors added 4x all-star DeMarcus Cousins to go along with the 3 that are playing this series so it seems mathematically clear that Kawhi winning a title would be more impressive than Lebron in 2016.

Kawhi is the anti James Harden. All around baller and quiet killer who continuously works at his game. Makes everyone around him better. Pop has to be sick.

And pissed that he let Parker and Ginobili talk publicly.

Durant expected to play tonight.

_________________

Sure doesn't look healthy, I wouldn't play him. If they lose anyway "they will say" it wasn't his fault because he was really injured, but if they come back he'll be MVP or something, so I can see why he'd play. Other than, you know, risking a bigger injury before becoming an FA.

Sarcasm?

Raptors only shot to take home the title is to win tonight. Raptors lose tonight and they might as well award the Larry OBrien to the Warriors tonight and save the back and forth btw Oakland/Toronto.

I do feel it's a win/win for him in that if they lose he'll be praised for playing despite the injury and it will quiet the Rose-like criticisms that he gave up even if he sucks, and if he wins he'll be praised to high heaven. There's just the tiny little thing about playing hurt with a max deal coming up.

I think even with the worst injury in sports, an Achilles, he can still score a max contract from NY.

Kawhi is gonna finish them tonight though. He’ll match KD in rings and Finals MVPs while being 3 years younger and not having to join a 73-9 team to win those rings.
