Call your shot (NBA)

[kimblebee]

Well snap.

Oops. Maybe I jinxed them by watching the whole game. Well, technically it was on in the background. But that still counts lol

The Warriors are a M*A*S*H unit now. But who knows if Durant will be back for game 3. Klay Thompson is going to be checked for the hamstring issue.

I heard Draymond Green say the reason US is rooting for the team in Canada is cause Golden St has beat all of our butts thru the years. I know thats true with me LOL

No one likes dynasties, unless it's your own team. Everyone wants to see the underdog win, and while on paper the Raptors are not the underdogs they do have that feel to them.

DH is eating his own words, he didnt think the Raptors would get past the Bucks, then though GS would sweep them. His prediction now is they will loose 4 straight. I think they will take it to 6 or 7 but I'm not sure if they will win, however #dreamscometrue #wearethenorth

With the series tied and teams very evenly matched, it’s def exciting!

On to Oakland.

We are huge Kawhi fans in this house, but the truth is I'd root for any team Green is playing against because I can't stand him.
I do have to give credit where it is due though- Warriors had great D last night and the Raptors shooting was just awful. Keeping hopes up though!

Durant out, Cousins just back but not 100%, Iguodala hobbled, Curry ailing. Loony goes down, Thompson goes down. And they pulled it out.
How they get three more well I don't know. But for now, they got the Boogie Fever.

They have way to many days off in this series, its hard to get a feel for any momentum. BTW I read today Leonard is buying a house in Toronto. I hope its so, I just hate when a city looses its superstar

They've done it in other series too. It's just that because there were so many going, we didn't notice it because they had something going nearly every night. Now that we're to the last series, we notice it.

I am not remotely worried. Despite a horrible phase in the third, they were right there in the end. The Raptors lost their own game.

Warriors played D unlike game one, which was so loose. I thought their assists, especially Green, made the game. Great vision. And kudos to Kerr.

I was pleased with the Raptors' first half and obviously felt the momentum switching before the half.

I am beyond fed up with rich seat Raptor fans not getting back to their seats until way into the third. Happens every game, so ridiculous. Double ridiculous in an important NBA final game.

Nothing to do with the loss, as I said the Raptors lost their own game and they need no crutch to lean on, but I thought the officiating this game was often very perplexing. Regardless, we need to not get in such foul trouble early ie. Lowry and Ibaka.

Steph Curry - come on about going on about disrespecting Iguodala on that late fourth play. Whatever.

I need Danny Green. Would love to see Anunoby return in Oakland.

Dynasties, have had zero issues with them over the years. Even with Raptors' fiercest enemies. I am just not a fan of most Golden State players. Although I respect their talent.

But I am sure Utah hated dynasties!

Agreed. Hate the finals' scheduling. Forget getting a feel for any momentum - I lose momentum!

The game should be tonight.

Excited to see James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett doing the anthem!

 

[goofyintoronto]

I get excited just seeing superfan Nav!

His story is incredible. He hasnt missed a home game in 24 years! He started out with nothing. He couldn't get a job as an engineer so he got into car sales. He did so well (to date nobody has beaten his record of selling 127 cars in 90 days) that he decided to buy the car dealership. He owns several now. He has he has given away thousands of tickets to underprivileged children. He is a local celebrity and a Raptors official Community Ambassador. Pretty amazing.

So I'm in Las Vegas today and I went out for breakfast wearing a Warriors T-shirt when some random guy walks by me and yells "Raptors rule!" I thought of saying something back, but all I could think of was something extremely rude.

The best.

He also has said that he knew nada about basketball. But felt like he wanted to do something that connected him with his new home.

 

[Disneylover99]

I would have loved to hear James belt that out, but guitars are cool too.

 

[low-key]

Klays not playing tonight, if the North dont win, its cause they are not in Golden St league. Go North

 

[OnceUponATime15]

Feeling a little nervous...weren't we up by a bunch at the half last game? Let's everybody just keep their wits about them and don't crumble in the 3rd.
