I'm not sure what he's doing but I just deleted multiple extra posts behind him. Seriously, like 4 times.

I would still love to see the Warriors win Game 5 and extend the series. But Toronto is in the driver's seat right now and it'll be hard to win in Toronto when their crowd is pumped up to their highest level.
That's what I thought for Toronto in game 4. The Warriors crowd was about as loud as I've ever heard. But the Raptors persevered and made it happen.

I think the Raptors will finish them off tonight. I'd be surprised if Durant plays and if he does, I don't think he'll be his old self.

It has been fun watching these Raptors play so well in the Finals. They are a likable bunch. They don't flop for fouls or flex their muscles when they score a basket. They are a bunch of generally mild-mannered nice players, many of whom come from other countries, and their leader has a Duncan-esque calm about him. Kawhi is having an all-time great conference finals and NBA Finals; clear Finals MVP if the Raps win. It's a memorable run for them and nobody really picked them to win it all.

I would still love to see the Warriors win Game 5 and extend the series. But Toronto is in the driver's seat right now and it'll be hard to win in Toronto when their crowd is pumped up to their highest level.
This stood out to me so I had to go look it up. Of their 8 rotation guys in the playoffs, 3 were born outside the country (Serge, Siakam, Gasol).

Hmm, weird. I certainly didn't do anything explicitly to post multiple times. Maybe it was a connection hiccup that caused my post to be submitted repeatedly. Thanks for deleting the dupes.

Durant playing and now Warriors are 1 point favorites.

KD or not, I think it's going to be a nervous crowd. We'll see how it affects the game.

Yikes on the reinjury from KD...replays don’t look good. Some saying it’s the Achilles...seems more likely he had a complete calf tear.

Yeah that doesn't look good at all. Almost as bad as the entire stadium cheering and waving him off the court after it happened.

I understand being passionate, but that was some low class BS.

Beyond absurd TO called by Lowry. He took Kawhi out of the zone and gave Curry oxigen. Incredible. This rivals Chris Webber. Brutal mental lapse. Can't believe it. Just can't.

Then Lowry botches the 3 for the title. That, the time and a key TO that followed the blunder. That man is not going to sleep tonight.

Still baffled about that TO. Can't believe what I saw.

I'm so glad the Warriors won this game.

As a whole Toronto deferred to Kawhi at the end way too much. It made them predictable, and easy to defend.
On the bright side; more basketball to watch, lol
