D you think the raptors are toast?

OKC dominated GSW. So impressive that it makes me scared if the Raps happen to get past the Cavs and face KD & OKC.

 

But this is how playoffs work, right? May the best team win, despite the refs making our Raps work overtime. The Raps certainly have more heart and determination than the raw talent of the Cavs.

 

I think tonight's game is going to be the most important one of the series. If they can't win tonight's game or lose by a close margin, they may not win in Game 7.

 

So many variables!

 

8:30pm start time.

isnt this the way it always goes?

 

You have a legendary team like the Bulls...and then a team challenges or even beats their record, but then doesnt pull off the full repeat. Without the championship the warriors season means nothing, especially if you dont even make the finals.

 

seems like someone has finally solved the equation to currey and the small ball. Impressive coaching to say the least.

 

Remember when the patriots (colts? one of the two i dont watch football) were supposed to have the "perfect season" but then just got dummied in the superbowl.

 

The playoffs and the regular season are two very very different beasts. I think raptors fans knew this when we watched the first round this year. Whats more impressive is that the team has adjusted.

 

Most importantly is that defense wins playoffs, and GS is an offensive powerhouse.

 

Ever notice how the washington capitals never win?

who did what to me?!?!?!?!

I went fishing Monday with a few bud's and nobody "dominated me" there either

 

I'd pay to see a NBA 7 footer go man-o-a-man-o in a fishing tournament. :) A dude that is taller than the avg length of a fishing rod would be epic indeed. hah

 

They'd also probably make awesome fishing partners when needing someone to hand you a net. hah No need to fumble up & down the boat, when the arm span of a 7 footer can just easily hand you the net. Or even reaching down to clear up the propellers. :)

I fished with a few guys from the blue devils ages ago when they stayed on rainy lake at campfire island lodge.

 

It is not fun to be in a boat with 3 others that are 6'10" ish lol

I figure that would be close to the weight limit of a boat lol. 6'10" prob be around 250lbs avg, 750lbs, plus yourself...maybe 180lb? So you're looking at over 900lbs lol.

The boat needs to be 5ft wider lol. Even a 20ft boat was unstable with these giants moving around lol

Man, I'm speechless. Although, it wouldn't be classic Raps if they didn't take one step forward and two steps back. lol Maybe their gut check got left behind at the border?

 

I feel confident with them winning Game 6, but Game 7 seems like small window. The Raps have stepped up to adversity and I'm sure they will do that again. Games 3 & 4 were such brilliant displays of competitiveness, whereas Game 5 was a total head scratcher.

 

Friday is gonna be a loud one in the city.

optics weren't good, but the casino was attached to the hotel they were staying at. Also, the game was at 8:30, I'm sure they could shake off a hangover (if they were even drinking) by that time. I don't think it's a big deal. They're grown men and maybe couldn't sleep. I wonder how many times Jordan was spotted at a casino the night before a big game.

 

Anyway, if they keep playing like that on the road it won't matter what happens on Friday in game 6. They need to show up to play wherever they are.
