Raptors take Game 1

Shubho · #77 May 31, 2019, 08:18 AM

WE THE NORTH, BABY!

Good game by the Raptors. They must not lose the second game. Else it would be over.

zman · #79 June 1, 2019, 03:32 AM

Wouldn't have been surprised if they won because Kawhi had another extraordinary game, but the way the role players performed was quite astonishing. If Boogie doesn't play better or Iggy's calf doesn't heal by Sunday Warriors are in real trouble.

Roey Haque · #80 June 1, 2019, 04:57 AM

Raptor's defense won them the 1st game. I never saw Steph and Klay being closed out as fast as they were on the perimeter that night. Scary thing is, while offense can be attributed to luck, (role players having big nights once in a while), defense is more about effort. So if they want to, they can keep up the same level of close out defense on splash bros for the rest of the games. And then what happens? GSW bench has to show up. No ifs and buts, at least they need to make a few shots, so they get more attention, and Splash bros don't get jumped everytime like they were.

GSW are by far the most unlikeable team in the NBA. Hope Siakam gets to dunk over Draymond's cocky head a few times this series. And hope Gasol discreetly elbows Klay in his smug face.

^They are disliked by people because they've been consistently beating their teams for years. Others like them because their brand of basketball is so much fun to watch. They play the game the right way, share the ball and embody the true spirit of the game; Dray was obnoxious in the past but surprisingly he's toned it down lately; Steph, Klay and KD are all humble superstars and willing to sacrifice for the team; their motto is "strength in numbers" as opposed to "rely on 1 or 2 superstars".

Is there anyone in the NBA more likeable than Curry? Which team don't wish him in their Christmas list? Draymond Green can get under peoples' skin. That is an asset. See Rodman. Both Wins championships for a reason. They do the dirty work. Bang inside against bigger people and win those mini battles. Of Course both were self made coming out of the lowest of the low. Who wouldn't you trade for Klay/Durant/Igodala?

Steve Kerr. 5 as a player. 3 already as a coach. May be the 4th one comes this year.

Shubho · #84 June 3, 2019, 01:02 PM

Curry is the only one on that team that is even remotely likeable. The others are genuine nuisances (KD, Klay, Draymond, Demarcus). Don't like it when they go prancing around as if the world owes them something, even if they are a champion team.

Yep. It's true.

Tigers_eye · #86 June 7, 2019, 04:38 PM

GSW lost at home. Their 3rd loss in this playoffs. Let us see what happens in this weekend.

zman · #87 June 7, 2019, 11:15 PM

ok it's time to concede - Kawhi is the best player in the game

Zeeshan · #88 June 7, 2019, 11:19 PM

Raptors huh? Possibly only thing good thing out of Canada since Alex Trebek on Jeopardy! and Celine Dion's retirement.

zman · #89 June 7, 2019, 11:27 PM

^Justin Bieber doesn't count?

Roey Haque · #90 June 9, 2019, 11:02 PM

GSW still has a better chance of winning the finals than Bd has winning the WC.

But if you removed the fraud wk, then I would say Bd has a better chance of winning the WC than GSW has winning the finals.

Tigers_eye · #91 June 10, 2019, 12:00 PM

^ lol. Roey. The stage has been set for Durant to be the savior. Lets see what Vegas Money can buy.

Tausif · #92 June 10, 2019, 10:26 PM

Wow those 2 minutes by Kawhi.

As Athar would say "Kawhi on FIRE"

Tigers_eye · #93 June 11, 2019, 10:54 AM

one down two to go.

Roey Haque · #94 June 11, 2019, 01:19 PM

Two more. You can do it GSW!

Raps fans acting like they have already won it from game 3 onwards. Seeing their reactions if GSW wins would be PRICELESS! I mean it.

Soooo if GSW wins this, I am going to change my avatar to Rahim' pic with a text saying Mr. Dependable. Yep. I am gonna take that hit for the gods to make this happen.

Must frame this. This is even bigger than 30 day Biriyani promise.

Roey Haque · #96 June 11, 2019, 02:42 PM

But GSW ain't winning.

Only 1 out of 33 times has a team come back from 3-1 down in the finals. Can they make it 33-2?

#33-2

Roey anything is possible in Vegas world. They are the ones who dictates who wins and who loses. How many home games are required.

Roey Haque · #98 June 12, 2019, 11:51 AM

^ Hoping against hope. Seeing the Raps fans dragged down to orbit would be so satisfying. Omg. I also want to Curry to win again, because I think he is a wonderful leader. Changing my avatar to Rahim would be a small price to pay. Writing Mr. Dependable will really hurt, (knowing him to be the fraud that he is), but I will do it!

#33-2

Tausif · #99 June 13, 2019, 11:36 PM

Congrats Raptors!

zman · #**100** June 13, 2019, 11:42 PM

Congrats Shubho and the Raptors! You guys were lucky as you played against an almost depleted GSW team but you surely deserved the title. It kind of reminded me of Warrior's first title; they also won against a depleted Cavs team, but as the saying goes "no team can win the Larry O'Brien trophy without some luck". This is probably where the Warrior dynasty ends but they had a tremendous 5 yr run.
