Warriors vs Raptors NBA Finals Thread

We are 1 minute in, and Boogie has two turnovers.

Like he never left.

Oh, you know it.

OOp, and there's Boogie flopping hard. Didn't even get touched, acted like he took an elbow to the chin. Refs called it, obviously.

That's turnover 3 for boogie.

This is very off for me. Usually (and I mean for the past 5 years) it's the other team who has to come out super aggressive early to try to match GS. This is one of the first times I can remember it being the other way around. You can tell that whole organization is legitimately nervous.

Both teams taking some bad shots early. Part of it is decent defense, but some if it just bad selection.

2004 Lakers vibes.

Even adding Boogie as a ringchaser gives off '04 Malone vibes.

Klay's moving a little gimpy. To be expected.

clean ****** play are you kidding me wow

Golden State playing like they need this one. They do. So far it's working pretty well.

Raptors looking like GS did on offense last game. Kawhi has 14 of the Raptor's 17 points in the first quarter. He's playing the Steph role.

Mark Jackson ''now, he's not Kobe.''

Yep, he's not. He's better.

Iguodala is literally shoving Siakam off court and the refs are just doing their best to pretend it's not happening.

Serge Ibaka just crossed up Cousins and hit an off the dribble fadeaway.

What.

''If I'm Steve Kerr, that's good defense!'' - Mark Jackson

Mark, he got crossed out of his shoes.

How were you ever a coach?

Lol I love how Cousins cant even sell most of his flops as a member of GS. That rep is forever.

Also, its Friday night and I'm gonna start pre gaming with a drink everytime I see an uncalled TOR and1

and this is how refs influence games they haven't called regular season fouls the entire series bit now they're calling them against the raptors lol oooookay

Siakam has to take the contact on that. He just did some weird off-balance up and under thing to try and dodge the contact when he could have just made the layup he's made 15 times this series already.

THERE WE GO SIAKAM!!! THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT I WAS JUST SAYING.

Siakam averaging 21/8/5 on 52% from the floor in his first NBA finals. That's what's up.

Omg they actually called one of those finally on Steph! Might have to make a Harrahs trip tonight. The odds are freaky tonight!

They called Curry for the kick out.

Wow.

It's legit, he did do it, but wow they NEVER call him on that.

The Raptors are 2 of 15 from deep, absolutely ice cold, and still only down 8.

At some point, some of these are gonna fall.

Klay just hit the Sam Cassell dance.

What happened to when that was an automatic tech?

Gasol tonight has been a disaster.

Despite horrible, HORRIBLE shooting, Toronto is only down 4 at the half.

How is this a 4 pt game? Tor has been shooting terrible. If they hit open 3s in the 2nd half they should be good.

Although exact same thing could be said for Steph.

shooting is almost as bad as lonzo's free throw shooting..lol:hihi:

Refs just gave Cousins an and-1 because he's so stiff while moving unrestricted that it looks like he's being fouled.

lol

Vanvleet is just so gutsy. ZERO fear.

Please stop calling Siakam ''Spicy P''

Green would T out every game in a Pels uniform.

Did Green trip Spicy P on that board? No call?

Lowry taking that shot then instead of putting on the brakes and letting Green foul him was so dumb.

The closest man was Bogut, 20 feet away. You'd have been wide open, and got the foul.

Green should already be tech'd out of this game, just like he should have been ejected in game 3. Refs are just favouring GS so hard on that front.

This game gives off the rare feeling of like, a 93-88 game or something

Is Green just yelling or yelling at the ref? Because if he is just yelling, I guess that is ok, but if he is yelling at the ref, man that guy gets away with murder. He should have about 7 TF's this game.

I'm watching the Raptor's feed cause I gave up on Mark Jackson and JVG.

It's a lot better, but this Raptor's commentator won't stop saying ''see, that's the foul in transition to stop the fast break. That's the Euroleague thing.''

Nooooooo. That is not the Euroleague thing. That's SPECIFICALLY not the Euroleague thing. They have special punishments for when guys foul on fastbreaks, specifically so they WON'T do it.

There are a ton of Raptor fans at this game.

Big man plays from Ibaka!

FINALLY the Tech. Should be like, the eighth, but still.

Credit espn for Dr.John music

If I was a ref, I'd lose my job so quick.

Immediately after the game where I treated Draymond like a normal player, and had him ejected in the first five minutes.

Damn, Dave Chapelle looks about as tired as his material.

Lol. No he's going after Dave!

He'll be drowning kittens, tomorrow.

That ''janky defense'' Curry doesn't like so much is back, and it's killing him again.

I'm ruthless. Unstoppable.

Cousins fitting right in with these moving screens

Stephen A Smith in life support yet?

And the Raptors are up 11.

BOARD MAN GETS PAID.
