Ghostriding Through The 6 For The Chip - Raps v Warriors Finals Thread

[LordLyons]

You nikkas say anything



Raptors are light years better defensively and their best player is actually clutch

Raptors are the best team the Warriors have faced in this Championship window

nikkas just saying anything but i see the kobe avi so this post was likely a shot at bron
the warriors win in such ridiculous ways that it makes people stupid

U bugging na it would of been competitive 6 to 7 series with warriors as fav but Raptors I feel can beat them cuz of defense even with KD but like I said warriors would be rightful favs but no easy win for them that's for sure

I give it 5 games. 6 max if the Warriors fukking around..

Only reason this series is the way it is is because the Warriors don't have a 3rd scorer and without KD Steph is easier to defend. KD unguardable, is their rim protection, and makes it so you can't double Steph.

Kawhi has been mid this series and the rest of the team has just taken turns killing the Warriors on defense, in particular the PnR. That only happens because they can't go small and have to play Boogie. They got killed in the PnR against the Clips but thats different because you got Lou who his mini Harden and a good passer dropping it off to Trez who is quick and strong. Gasol and Ibaka would have been played off the floor with KD in the lineup just due to the matchups.

Nah, CP3 actually wasn't a shell of his former self last year. He was killin the Warriors before he went down. Why don't you just quit whining? We wanna talk about no Kyrie and no Love in the first Cavs series too?

Warriors still have their pre-KD era core intact. They still have a chance to get it done.

Ain't no whining. I've always said the Warriors probably lose that first against the Cavs if Kyrie healthy. They would have lost the second if the Warriors healthy. It's basketball and shyt happens. But we gonna kill all the noise that this team is better than the Warriors at full strength or that Kawhi is fukking with KD cause none of that shyt is true at all.

And don't bring up no damn CP3. nikka been choking his whole career. Him and Harden would have found a way to lose regardless

the same iggy that just scored 4 points in a finals game

You mean the Iggy that got hurt in the Blazers series?

The same Iggy who is still holding a certain braided mute to under 40 percent from the field when guarded by him while being hurt.

Yo I just seen a little clip of Drake pouting at the game and I've been laughing for 5 minutes straight. Please let this go to game 7 and let game 7 be a nail biter just so I can see more clips of him losing it

Damn shame he will get flamed wen they lose this series

I can say same for Kawhi too so they cancel each other out comes down to role players guarding curry and Klay with elite defense or team defense
Which they have

We've seen Iggy show up in the playoffs before. He seems like a very on/off offensive player considering he won finals mvp. He could explode next game. I wouldn't count them out and I find the Raptors roleplayers less reliable. So I just guess we'll see who shows up.

Funny that their bench the last 2 years were the leagues deepest but kinda dwindled until playoff time. Roleplayer wise it’s a wash to me just cause there’s legit G League players on the Warriors bench. A guy like Norm Powell might step up after being ass this series but on the flipside, McKinnie might have a night. At this point , it’s really contingent upon if Gasol/Lowry/Siakim can counteract the Splash Bros cause Kawhi is gonna get his.

Boogie is gonna have to play 30+ mins tonight with Looney out. If they wanna win this he needs to be a reliable 3rd scorer and take advantages of the 1:1 on the block.

But I doubt it...congrats Raps/Drake on the win

the fact the warriors were desperate enough to a play a nikka with a partially torn Achilles tells me they dont believe they can beat the Raptors without KD. Both of their wins have been mini miracles.

1)He didn't have a partially torn achilles. You can tear your achilles from having a calf strain and it not being fully healed. If he had just been a spot up shooter he would have been fine. He did a basketball move quick and his tendon snapped.
2)He scored 11 points in 12 minutes. He makes shyt easier and Boogie has been inconsistent. Of course you want him out there

1) Game is Thursday.

2) Bogut should start, Looney for when they go small, and Boogie in short bursts for offense and rebounding. They can win that game if they just play defense.

He won’t. The KD injury drama will be the main talking point of the series unless the Warriors somehow find a way to come back, and if they do it will be because of Curry anyway.
