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

[The Frozen One]

he's gonna play for sure. how effective he'll be, we'll find out tomorrow. It might take him a quarter or two to get it going, but if the calf doesn't give him any trouble, you bet he's gonna get more confidence as the game goes on.

Raptors HAVE to be play like it's game 7. If it's goes to a game 6, warriors winning it and coming back for the game 7, which in all likelihood they will win.

Toronto with Kawhi will not lose a game 5 at home to win a ring
With or without a hobbled KD

The same toronto team that lost playoff home games to the magic,76ers and warriors at home all of a sudden won't lose game 5?

the bucks were bustin torontos ass the whole game 6 until the end of the 3rd quarter then collapsed

TOR is running a gimmick defense to stop Curry that would fail miserably if we were at full strength.

GSW wins in no more than 5 if KD played this whole series. Stop it.

Explain this defense and what makes it a gimmick. Break it down for us.

 

[NoMorePie]

Kevin Durant needs to man up and sit down, let Curry take the blame for this loss.

 

[RammerJammer]

Lol fukk the GS org for just not saying he's done for the season and dragging shyt out like this. If KD forces it and plays I hope his other shyt gets fukked up.

Thats disrespectful

 

[Hey_zeus]

They making this shyt into a storyline. They might as well do the royal Rumble countdown and have KD get his Willis Reed on. Because somebody here is lying.

The issue for GS isn't offense. Outside of Game 4 they've had offensive ratings of 116, 110, and 110. The issue for Golden State is defense. They literally can't get stops.

Had Toronto not gone 2-12 from 3 in the 1H which is a product of variance, Friday night is probably a 20-30 point blowout given that Toronto put up a 140 offensive rating, scoring 63 points on 45 possessions in the 2nd half.

Warriors literally can't defend them. Kawhi ISOs, open 3s for Danny Green, Siakam, Gasol, & Lowry, Lowry/Ibaka PNR, VanVleet ISOing on switches all have been effective.

while I agree with you 100%, I also would like to add that KD's offense could effect Toronto's offense. not saying now because KD hasnt played in a while and is rusty but suppose he had been playing all along. gotta put pressure on Toronto's defense and hopefully get some guys in foul trouble like Kawhi or Pascal. if you can make those guys sit on the bench a little....that takes away their offensive potency.

Nope

This is different, they will probably play the games of the lives

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Every time Kawhi bends over
and makes that face of quiet determination, his team goes on a run.

Run closeout.exe

Officially questionable? He’s been officially questionable all series.

More like "doubtful"

His injury prognosis had a minimum recovery time of a month, why are y'all acting like he was guaranteed by a certified medical profession to be 100% healthy for the start of the finals????? Why the fukk would KD be wasting his time flying across the country doing constant work and going through practices if this was a "smokescreen for a torn achilles"?? Why wouldn't he just be home getting surgery and rehabbing for free agency then?

[Tommy Gibbs]

They overcame a 3-1 deficit before..

Your hot takes are beyond trash

yeah due to a certain person throwing the series and then signing with them the next season. Kawhi aint the type to do that shyt. Not happening.

If he was anywhere close to healthy, he would've played Game 4 ...

Its not real hard to see what's going on here. Warriors pump faking because they are a classless organization that really feel they're smarter than everyone else.

This is clown shyt really. Durant is legit hurt as I said from the moment the injury took place. Warriors should announce Durant is out the rest of the series out of self-respect. They're going to embarrass themselves and Durant if they let that fool hobble out there for a half.

Then again, they're letting Cousins play injured, so who not how low this classless franchise will be by the start of Game 5.

 

[CantStop]

You just seen Toronto beat the Bucks 4 games in a row, they are formidable but we at least have a slingshot now.

So y’all didnt and don’t have a shot with Steph as the first option?
