**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[kilroythedon]

Toronto in 6 see yall in Canada b.

 

[htg designs]

Lowry & Gasol with 5 fouls. If Kawhi don't show up, that run is inevitable.

not tonite. dubs aint play a game in forever. outta rhythm

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Warriors in 3.

 

[dman14]

Warriors could use a wing who can slow the game down and get any shot he wants at any time.

we landing kawhi if kd decides to leave

 

[Tony $now]

Pascal playing out of his mind right now. Can’t even hate on it. Need the W’s to step up

 

[nick.]

Van Fleet is the new version JJ Barea, Delly

Patty Mills

 

[superblytrife]

Hey Rockets, THIS is how you play against the 2-time defending champs when you can smell blood in the water.

I’m feeling the urgency/effort from the Raps on the defensive end and the boards. That **** wins games. Period.

 

[stanfan]

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody. Raps smoked the Warriors by 20 w/o Kawhi in December. They play disciplined, sound defense. Solid at every position. Deep bench.

Siakam was the x factor. He showed out tonight. Completely outplayed Draymond.

Okay so when is the parade?

 

[tr1ll]

KD tho..

 

[pmpdaddyrobford]

7 minutes more than enough time B

Like they never heard of teams coming back before

 

[bballkid11]

It’s just rythem

Dubs win next 3

 

[dathbgboy]

Def expect KD for Game 2. Siakam is playing a hell of a game, but don't think he can do the same thing against a guy just as tall and lanky, but can also get buckets.

 

[lightweight champion]

you really expect their big to drop 30 every game?

Well, Siakam had 26 in their 1st meeting and 13 in their 2nd. Ibaka had 20 in each of those games. GSW interior defense is trash.

 

[alchemist iq]

Warriors down by 2 points.

Math isn’t your strongest mental skill huh?

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Warriors coming back to win this game. Too much time left.

 

[lynchpin33]

It is refreshing to watch Klay hustle to get back in front of his defensive assignment after being screened. Such a lost art in today's AAU culture NBA...

 

[stanfan]

Math isn’t your strongest mental skill huh?

apparently neither is sarcasm for you..

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Math isn’t your strongest mental skill huh?

12 point lead against the warriors is basically a 2 point lead.

 

[SpittaJetLife]

apparently neither is sarcasm for you..

 

[kilroythedon]

Wheres KD is he on the bench?

 

[kingfoamnyc]

we landing kawhi if kd decides to leave

 

[danger style]

time for a run

 

[tonelow]

Kawhi has an easy drop off pass on every screen and refuses to give it up.

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Tie game.

 

[j rain]

Home court advantage is huge. Siakam wouldn’t be doing this at Oracle. Now he has confidence. Could be a matchup problem all series.
