raptors ar slow paced eam

in the playoffs you do what you must to win 

[Ryo]

It's not the pace for me it's just the players

[Balthazar Manfredie]

they are missing a lot 

but the hustle

i would rather have them than miami

[Ryo]

Lol nah. Miami isn't like that cause they have a lot of guys new to the NBA. They'll develop as their careers progress.

 

The raptors are inconsistent as hell. The guys can't shoot that well. No thanks, I'll take Miami anyday. They're doing a whole lot with not a lot to work with. I'll be rooting for them in game 7. Only thing they need to worry about if they win is if Whiteside will be available in the ECF, cause they'll struggle without him. 

[Balthazar Manfredie]

The raptors are in the ecf

I like it, god knows not...well, no one wants to go play in canada

I would love it if the win the ecf, but that not gonna happen

Whish derozen would shot the ball better, he cant make max dolla if he is like this

Its like he is joe johnson

[Ryo]

Yeah he's not a max deal player. I could see them taking 1 game in the ECF, but the Cavs will overpower them.

 

Raptors live and die by Lowry/DeRozan. 

 

I think we'll end up with a finals rematch 

[Balthazar Manfredie]

im hoping for a finals rematch

to settle the finals before

[Ryo]

Me too but I think Cleveland loses again lol 

[Balthazar Manfredie]

so okc won the first game

i was surprised    

[Ryo]

Me too. They just looked more hungry. We'll see how GSW responds in game 2 tonight

[Balthazar Manfredie]

I think that if steph and klay get help from their teammates like last night it will be over in the nex 3

Livingston has jet to play good

And klay to some degree

[Ryo]

I agree. When the other guys are stepping up, it's usually over for the other team

[Balthazar Manfredie]

So the raptors suck

This looks like sweep if those 2 play like that again

[Ryo]

lmao yeah pretty much. I would expect no less than a sweep

[Balthazar Manfredie]

Now this toronto team is what i want to go up against the cavs

Tonight is the big game

[Ryo]

Yeah they looked totally different last night. Gave the Cavs all they had

 

Sidenote: Lol at that Lebron flop.

 

Can't wait for the game tonight!

[Balthazar Manfredie]

Teams have been down 2-0 before, who knows what the rest holds

Tonight steph will be a beast

Klay will focus on D

KD will explode

Green will be the x factor

[Balthazar Manfredie]

Its not like there havent been teams that didnt win 3 in a row in a series

Like denver and boston and houston

And they went up against, to me, better teams

Gonna be a looong week for gs

I would love it if toronto went to the finals

But its all about money

[Ryo]

Man OKC looks GOOD, but ^^^^ yeah if anyone could do it, it's the Warriors

 

Big game for the Cavs at home. See if they can make a statement to shift the series their way. 

[Balthazar Manfredie]

i have to say that the okc-gsw series was revealing in many ways for both teams

i have gsw in 6

[Ryo]

I agree. Very fun series.  Kudos to GSW for coming back from down 3-1.

I have the Warriors in 6 as well. Looks like they got their confidence back. 

[Balthazar Manfredie]

Either split russ and kd or get someone in between those 2

You cant go up 3-1 with the kind of players you have and fail like idiots

I think gs has goten better when it comes to rebounds and the cavs wont have it easy there like last time they did

[Ryo]

Yeah you can't have a 3-1 collapse in the conference finals like that. I bet KD will sign a short term contract with OKC.

He may wait for 2017 when Russ becomes a FA. 

Small-ball should give the Warriors an advantage in the finals. It would be great to see the Cavs win, but something just tells me they'll lose again.

[Balthazar Manfredie]

but to stick with someone, you may love, but are going nowhere fast is pointless

now lebron must share the power with love and irving, that will be interesting to see and their balance is off

their first team is bad on D but great on offence

while the bench is reverse 

[astraculpa]

Ohoho. Hello. :3 I never expected Warriors to be able to make that comeback. It was pretty amazing. I also love how Thompson consistently heat up in Games 5 to 7. I don't know how Warriors is going to pick themselves up if it weren't for his threes. He kind of brought the team's confidence back. :B Now I'm looking forwards to the Finals especially that Irving and Love are back (time for Thompson's reunion with his childhood friend). Ohoho. It won't be easy win for both teams but it's definitely going to be exciting for us. Eeepp. Sorry for the intrusion.
