dubs in five if they win game one, which i think they do.

i consider any raptors boosterism on this board by non-canadians to be treason and a personal betrayal punishable by mean yellow cards and thread banning depending on the severity

I thought your comment was somewhat off but held off till looking at the geotagged Twitter map. Not really accurate, I know, since it's based on just hashtags, but my initial gut reaction was that most Americans would root for the Raptors:

Sooooo...Everyone wants the Raptors to end the Warriors' dynasty? 👀 😶 #WeTheNorthAmerica

ppl who dont have a natural interest usually root for the underdogs

people are probably just bored with the dubs' hegemony. tho i am certainly a patriot, i sympathize with that viewpoint.

The Patriots are way worse.

well, yeah

ppl who dont have a natural interest usually root for the underdogs

I root for whoever is down at the moment, so it can change a dozen times in the last couple minutes of a game lol. When asked who I'm rooting for I say it's not a who but a what: good basketball, exciting finish

yah exactly. (if my team isn’t playing)

tend to root for individual guys rather than players. portland series was weird cause I love dame so

rather than teams I meant to say

i'm in total dispassionate 'it will be interesting to see who will win the nba finals' mode for this one

idk I think it will be more interesting to see what happens with all the dubs players in the offseason if they do get another chip.

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION: any basketball game is more interesting than offseason moves

otm

To clarify i meant that as reasons for why I prefer GS to win the series xp

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

it's been decided, warriors will win the nba playoffs

how true. the drama and excitement will be in discovering exactly how they manage the feat.

This is the best finals matchup of the kd warriors era

i dunno if it's as good as the ones where the Cavs were healthy

i guess that was just one though

yall theres hoops tonight, and it is the final series of hoops

hoop morning!

i think this should be the best matchup as long as the raptors show up. you knew those cleveland teams never had a chance of stopping the warriors and could only try to outscore them. i hope toronto's defense really challenges golden state.

raptors played some great D v bucks lets see if it holds up against the big boys

i love that Raps in 4 got more votes than Dubs in 4. Raps in 4 would definitely be the most hilarious outcome.

raps in 5 would also be very funny

an homage to the pistons beating the lakers in 5 in 2004

ok that’s actually funny

let the ball commence

grudging respect to drake, that's well done

Jordan bell start okkkkkkk

toronto really coming out of the gates practicing the ol’ hoist

8 of 9 raptors shots have been 3s

cusrise

with all the threes (and the bricks), both teams are really pushing the pace early. historically that seems like it would favor the warriors, something the raps should probably think about.

omg, baby steph swishing threes is the best.

Dubs would be more than happy to run n gun. Raps best bet is to grind this down to a standstill

Feels like klay has only had like one or two good offensive games in these playoffs

that is a loud building. awesome crowd.

I love the sikh dude who's always waving his towel for free throws
