If you all have declined to watch the NBA through the years I suggest now is the time to watch. These two teams are in the finals and it is War.
Dan? You are a sports guy (albeit Cleveland which still counts): Say something!
Canada may have won the perfect game in Game 1 of the Finals! (Toronto Raptors).
Game 2 is Sunday night, commentary is a appreciated. But either way it won’t stop me from being excited about David vs Goliath in what may turn out to be the most exciting NBA finals in history!
Wow what a series. I actually thought Toronto had that at the very end. You know after 3 years of cav vs warriors series I think this one is the best I have seen in a decade.
Nurse has Kawai ready like a loaded gun … it is very fun to watch. Game 6 then! Fine the NBA likes that. Though I thought Toronto had it …
An Unbelievable win! Just made me cry in the end… such a good finals… GS never gave up and I hated the injuries, but Lowery and … well … it was just great.
I will say as a long time cavs fan (we just recruited a great woman 's coach form cal) That this was one of the best finals I have ever seen… every player (both sides) played so extraordinarily well…Klay is a phenomena and Draymond is such a fighter… GS is a long legacy of excellence but Toronto had Kawai …. and he did make the difference. But god the rest of the raptors were amazing as well!
This has been pretty huge in Canada. I think that this is going to be great for basketball in Canada and we should start seeing the fruits of this championship in about a decade’s time. Canada is already starting to produce some good players, but I suspect that this will kick things up a notch and I would say that this sort of thing will push basketball into the #2 sport in Canada behind hockey.
This sort of vibe did remind of the early 90’s when the Blue Jays won their back to back titles and brought the World Series to Canada for the first time.
Amazing stuff KG. I’m so happy for the raptors, they were the first North American sport I watched live when I lived in Toronto. Been following them ever since.
Sounds like the sports personalities are all claiming it was because of GS injuries and Toronto just took advantage.
Let me say this about this: Golden State goes 73 wins with their big three… then grabs Kevin Durant the next year … THEN grabs boogie cousins. They create a super SUPER team (5 all stars?). THE dominant team in the NBA (though this year their win loss record was weak).
I really hate that KD got hurt when he was trying, and that Klay got hurt when HE was trying, but comon’ : Toronto looked amazing and they beat that super team. If you stack your deck, and make your bet, don’t cry if the cards don’t fall right.
