2019 NBA Finals: Golden State vs. Toronto Raptors

[Murat Baslamisli]

Good first half though. Raps defending the pick and roll hard, everyone helping. The question is, when GSW starts lighting it up, will we keep our composure...

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Well done Raps. Great defense. We did rattle them a bit. Siakam is on his way to becoming a legit star.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Raps playing well but Klay is on a roll tonight. Steph is defended well but for how long, who knows. We have to go to foul line more. That's on Kyle and Kawhi. Attack more.

I don't think I've seen a more poorly executed game by a home team. Were the Raps on drugs tonight? They have benefit of the penalty w/ 4 min left in the 4th. Do they drive and force Dubs to foul? Of course not. They jack up a bunch of bricked 3's. On top of that they commit some really dumb fouls and spend most of the game in foul trouble. What?

GS appears to have made Raps other guys look like scrubs and also they had no problems scoring at will.

 

[Federberg]

So Klay looks like he has a hammy. If they pull this off now then this will look like a reverse 2016

They had a 18-0 run in the third that kind of sealed the deal. Towards the end of the match, Raps held them scoreless for almost 5-6 minutes, one of the best defensive stretches I have ever seen against this team but they themselves came up with nothing...like Kkate said above, jacking up bad shot after bad shot. Greatest defensive stretch they played wasted. This was a winnable game.

Don't mind me man, I'm just bitter as hell and will be for awhile. My deer took continuous shits all the way back to this crap city that does nothing but suffer when it comes to sports. The teams are all choke artists cut from the same cloth.

But yeah, any chance Toronto had probably ended yesterday. They could probably bring back Durant if it gets to 2-2 and that's best case scenario for the Raps.

Something in the cheese?

I know Klay was out and so was KD, but Raps are still the only team that can defend these guys like this. Great road win. 30 assists. Sharing the ball, not turning it over and the line up change starting the third quarter was a genius move from the coach because GSW rocks the third quarter usually and we won it. Great job Raps !

 

[kskate2]

Better performance for the Raps in this game. I still see a few things they could tighten up (committing dumb fouls, limit scoring droughts and grab more boards)

Just think @Murat Baslamisli if they hadn't laid an egg in G2 Q3, they could be up 3-0

That loss could be a deciding factor in the series. Hope not. Warriors look depleted at the moment. I see Klay is coming back for game 4. What about KD?

I'd prefer Raptors to finish this off before the game 7. If it comes to game 7 I give an edge to Warriors though it would be an away game for them.

Klay is definite, but no word on Looney or KD for G4. I would be surprised if KD plays before G5 or 6. If it gets to G7 home court doesn’t matter. It’s the last game of the season and anything goes. It will be about who wants it more.

Injuries are obviously an enormous factor so far but going off the score last night you could say they miss KD and Klay's defense as much as their offense. Those 2 are elite perimeter defenders. With them out Kawhi got a lot of help, something that ended up being the downfall of my pathetic squad. Y'all can't let Lowry, Green, and VanVleet toss you up. That will result in an L

I thought you were calling him VanScrubby. LOL :lulz2:

has anyone else noticed that GSW have accumulated the same score every game in this series so far? 109...

No I didn't. That's bizarre! And also it's the playoffs, the finals nonetheless. Teams are supposed to be defending like their lives depend on it. If you're scoring 109 every time you should be up 2-1 or 3-0

 

[Federberg]

Yup! It seems like the problem the Dubs have is all on defence. That's why they need either Klay or KD back. Or even a fully functional Iggy. And it exposes the adrenalin fuelled hype of the Boogie come back for what it really was. Man he was awful in this game...

 

[AnonymousFan]

Durant has been ruled out for Game 4

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Man...2 of 17 from the three point in the half and we are just down by 4 points. We cannot shoot any worse ! Should have been up by 15 right now. All open looks too. Fuck...
