NBA FINALS 2019 |——| WARRIORS -vs- RAPTORS |——| USA -vs- CANADA

Feel like bogut would be better on gasol

This game is over Kerr’s got his work cut out.

unreal shotmaking

Haha lucky af

danny green can't handle the ball, they need to get him out

Uh oh iggy

hammy

that's not good

Yah we’re gonna need Durant

bang

Siakim has hit like 6 impossible shots hah

My kid: Let's see you play basketball you autotuned dork.

this series without durant is fun, this series without andre will just feel incomplete

feel like the one thing we learned tonight is the raptors defense is legit

i'm not sure how much that game really taught us... we know the warriors can take a punch, and the raptors role players are not going to play that well again. ppl generally overreact to what happens in game 1s & that felt like a 95th percentile performance by the raps to me

I will allow myself some overreaction.

the raps had a good gameplan on defense... nurse seemed to coach a good game. and the iggy injury is problematic. but game 2 is the real test for the raps bcuz going to oakland 1-1 is not really a win overall for them.

i dont think a 95th percentile raps performance contains off-games by both kawhi and lowry

huge coming out party for siakam, what a cool player

this series without durant is fun, this series without andre will just feel incomplete

otm. and for a guy playing completely out of his mind, siakim seemed very under control. good game from the raptors. dubs seemed out of synch after the long layoff.

8 kids are bout to tie in this spelling bee

Canada comin for ur asses #wethenorth

i dont think a 95th percentile raps performance contains off-games by both kawhi and lowry

good lowry playoff games are the deviations

so thankful magic quit so he cld get these tweets off

Toronto’s victory was a total team effort. Kawhi scored 23 and Fred VanVleet scored 15 off the bench. As a team they played outstanding defense!

Lowry defeated his playoff voodoo this season.

Iggy thing bumming me out.

Gasol/FVV/Danny/siakim player nearly perfect games. Meanwhile no one on the warriors played very well. Curry got points but they made it really hard and he didn’t have the ball in his hands enough. Kerr gotta tighten up the rotation but that iggy thing may throw a wrench in the whole affair

kawhi wasn't great but he still scored 23 points... siakam and gasol prob won't score 52 total over the next 2 games combined

i just feel like whatever you thought was going to happen before the series is what you should still think is going to happen, unless the iggy injury is serious

i also would probably have made a hedging post about how the raptors got some performances they won't get again but an iguodala injury is just massive

Yup

raps defense was very good toooooo

raptors were favored in vegas tonight

raps defense was fabulous. they'll need that every game if they're going to win.

I'm burning effigies made of articles about the favored 2004 Lakers for the god of SPORTS to finally answer our northern call.

iggy might be fine too didnt look bad but hammys can be weird

Oh yeah their gameplan and execution were top notch. They did not give they dubs much transition opportunity. Klay seemed to be swallows up by their defense especially.

lmao chuck just called the dubs role players a bunch of tito jacksons

Chuck hates the warriors so much lmao

still mad about that whole jump shooting team thing

If you bet against someone long enough eventually you’ll look smart

not sure hes ever going to live that one down lol

Kerr: “The biggest thing coming in was we really didn’t feel we knew this team very well.”

hmm lol

an nba team in Canada, ok sure fellas believe that when I see it

Let’s just see what we’re dealing with here hmm ok they are pretty good maybe we shoulda scouted this huh

theyve got a day off to google

I doubt it. Saying something dumb to deflect from criticism for the players is an international method for all coaches of all sports.

They'll know each other pretty damn well before the series is over.
