So if/when the Raptors win are they supposed to go to the Canadian White House? And what if they can't find it in all the snow?

It's embarrassing but was bound to happen with our current president reversing the previous administration's pro-hoops agenda.

I can totally see Kawhi softly telling his teammates how much he likes the Ottawa vibes.

I don't know basketball well enough to say whether an oddball stat is meaningful or not, but they said on the call-in show this morning that Kawhi last night was the only guy ever besides Jordan to have a finals game with 35+ points and zero turnovers. That sounds meaningful to me.

I guess that guy that pushed Lowry is going to be forced to sell his stake in the Warriors.
All I know is James Dolan might be on the look for balls being 'errantly' thrown out of bounds by his seat when he sits court side.

Got to love the Knicks for comedy, every pro league has that team that it is just fun to make fun.
Kinda weird to put the Lakers in that list, but things change.

Kevin Durant will practice today, Steve Kerr says. Then the plan is to get him some extra work in with younger players. "We'll gauge it from there...What he's going to do today, he hasn't done." An optimistic turn.— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) June 9, 2019

The thought that the Warriors could come back is the only downside to this high right now. Before the Series started, an honorable showing--winning a game or two, competitive in the others--would have likely been enough for most Raptors fans. Losing now would put a damper on the whole season--Kawhi's shot, winning over the Bucks, all the good stuff in the finals so far, everything.
― clemenza, Sunday, 9 June 2019 20:10 (four years ago) link
I think you’ve got this in the bag. The warriors haven’t shown they’ve figured anything out and Kerr is staying stubborn... and getting back the players at varying degrees of health can only get them so far.
― big city slam (Spottie), Sunday, 9 June 2019 21:35 (four years ago) link
what wld u like to see kerr do, besides benching boogie i assume
― lag∞n, Sunday, 9 June 2019 21:55 (four years ago) link
That’s it + stop giving jarebko minutes. And let Steph cook more one on one. Bringing the screens for him just adds another defender who can bump and disturb him. No one can check him let him chef. The backcutting/motion stuff works best if we have more than two shooting threats, which we currently don’t. Also kawhi has proven he can playmake so they need to stop with the constant late double teams.
― big city slam (Spottie), Sunday, 9 June 2019 22:01 (four years ago) link
If kd plays and is like even 65-70% that will unlock all kinda stuff tho. Including the small lineup they haven’t been able to use.
― big city slam (Spottie), Sunday, 9 June 2019 22:04 (four years ago) link
Obv just armchair coaching what do I know but he has to at least know that boogie can’t start tomorrow night. And he has to have an extremely short leash if he plays him at all.

Good thread of plays breakdown of the raptors run
So I've reached the 4:29 mark in the 3rd quarter, Warriors are up 61-60 with Siakam at the line and it appears this is the stretch where Toronto takes the game.— Steve Jones Jr. (@stevejones20) June 9, 2019

must be doing two days for travel?
remember when the nba had like three game 7s on mothers day? maybe they should get more flexible about playoff scheduling
― Clay, Monday, 10 June 2019 02:36 (four years ago) link
i've always assumed that they try not to go against the nhl finals as a professional courtesy thing and those guys had to play tonight
― call all destroyer, Monday, 10 June 2019 02:39 (four years ago) link
Yeah it’s lame. The 2-2-1-1-1 sched means 3 days between games on the back end of the series
― big city slam (Spottie), Monday, 10 June 2019 02:51 (four years ago) link
I guess it depends on how lame you want the players to be. At this point, everyone but the deep bench players are exhausted, banged up and running on sheer will power, if they aren't already on the injured list.
― A is for (Aimless), Monday, 10 June 2019 02:55 (four years ago) link
Lame from a fan perspective just wanting to watch games. Great for players to have the extra day.

― k3vin k., Monday, 10 June 2019 05:21 (four years ago) link
Strange thing to say (confirmed on the sports station this morning), but the general feeling here is that the Raptors have to close it out tonight. A Game 6 in GS (especially if Durant's back) wouldn't be promising, and no one wants a Game 7, even at home. I bought a ticket this morning for a new Watergate documentary this Sunday night. Supremely confident? Hardly--I wasn't even thinking about the possibility of a game. If it does come to that, I guess I eat the ticket.
― clemenza, Monday, 10 June 2019 14:16 (four years ago) link
yeah Durant is a huge wild card at this point but the Warriors are a lot more hurt than the Raps are and I don't think you're gonna see KD anywhere close to 100% (if he plays at all)
― frogbs, Monday, 10 June 2019 15:10 (four years ago) link
