but, this is the equivalent of beating the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl if Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski both tore their ACL's in the first quarter. And, all you have left is some back up QB and Edelman.

Congrats to all who held a Raptors ticket but I don't wanna hear about how you had the "right side" all series. A win is a win but even you have to agree you escaped.

and

we're off

Agree 100%. No NBA team in history could overcome injuries to Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson in games 3 and 6, Looney, Andre, Boogie, and even Steph for part of the postseason. I've never seen a mash unit like this one in the finals. A healthy Warriors team wins this series in 5 games, possibly 4. Everyone outside of Toronto will always know the Raptors were the 2nd best team this year. Sorry to the Dub haters but it's the truth.

I thought curry was consider �� one of the greatest ever play the game ��

So tech. Gsw had their Tom Brady or rod lol

This series clearly show curry is just another Reggie Miller with handles and longer range. Curry benefits due to the style of how the game is play in this era.

Now people might see how good jame harden is for carrying a team to a win by himself ...something curry haven��t shown when primary focus and offense of the team.

Once Klay went out Raptors went Box and 1 on Curry for the last 14 minutes of the game...How is he supposed to score.....Put an asterisk on that Raptors ship...They get waxes by a healthy Dubs team..

I am not a troll....but sour grapes are sour grapes. When the Cavs lost Love and Kyrie, the trophy still went to Golden State. Cleveland fans gave their sour grapes speech, and now so did you.

I had ZERO money on this game or this series other than a few little props along the way that had nothing to do with this post. Just simply speaking the truth bud

U do realize the Dubs waxed the Cavs 4-1 the very next year with LBJ/Kyrie/Love all healthy right?.....They were going to win the title if the Cavs were healthy or not as they were the better team...You cannot say that about Toronto...A health Dubs team crushed this Raptors team... Would have been a great game 7 if Klay did not get hurt...

So when Chris Paul went out ...gsw went on to win a championship. Should there be an asterisk on that too and on Cleveland championship. You just have to play what is infront of you. Injury is part of the game .

The Houston series wasn't the NBA finals. The team they beat in the finals, the Cavs, were healthy.

So what happened when the Dubs played a healthy Cavs team the last 2 years in the Finals? They crushed them.

I would give Raptors props if Klay did not get hurt in game 3 and game 6 and they won...Dubs are still a great team with Klay and equivalent talent level to Raptors....This was headed for a game 7 before the injury..Would have been a 5 point lead and Dubs with alll the momentum and Klay was on fire...Its a shame he got hurt and it did not make a game 7.

This is my exact feeling, it just doesnt feel right when 60% of the team is hurt

[/Quot

Harden doesn't "carry" a team...........he hogs the ball..........as does Westbrook..........which si why neither was won a damn thing............while Curry--who distributes--has 3 rings.

I tried to explain it like you were a 2 year-old. Hope I helped.

off topic here but completely spot on TurnTwo for anyone who doesn't respect Steph's game is clueless. Curry lead the ENTIRE NBA in steals in 2015-2016. Harden led the NBA in falling down

Warriors got bent over with everyone on the floor except KD.

The only asterisks should be besides the Warriors 15 title, if Cavs had Kyrie & Love, they dont win that series.

Its not a dynasty without KD, its a nothing team.

Well obviously they had to script fake injuries in order for GS to lose... If GS was healthy and lost, everyone would finally wake up and realize the NBA is scripted theater.. It is like everything is about LBJ... Toronto finally wins the East after LBJ wins and then beats GS, the team that has owned LBJ the past 4 years... Now next year, the Lakers will win it all and prolly beat GS in the playoffs and Toronto in the Finals... I am hoping that Toronto doesnt make the Finals and some other East team does..

Curry is the biggest front runner in the history of sports....never hits a shot when it matters, go watch 16 finals game 7.

Macwestie��..your post is the most on point. Sour grapes threads are comical.

Davemush��.I'm sure the Raptors will celebrate without giving a second thought to not getting "props" from some random, spoiled Golden State fan on a sports talk forum.

It's over for 2019. Golden State had better hope KT didn't blowout his ACL. If he did, he will likely NEVER be the same player again. The same possibility is out there for Durant. It was a great run....now it's old news. The end.

What happened in 2017 with a health LBJ...Kyrie...Love...How many games in the Finals did the Cavs win vs the Dubs with a FULL healthy squad...

With KD.

Ofcourse, he is the best player in the world.

Without him Warriors dont get past the Rockets even so this isnt a conversation.
