2019 NBA Playoffs

[crazed 9.6]

I am not big B-Ball fan but this may be a historic event.
If the Raptors can pull off this win today, it will be the first ever Canadian team to win the NBA Championship, let alone get into the finals !

we are in the 3rd quarter now and the game has been in the Warriors favor who were at one point 13 points up and with a few unanswered point streaks by the Warriors.
But the Raptors came back to make it a 2 point game before the half.
We are still trailing in the 3rd thou (currently by 4) :eek:

As I say, I am not much pf a fan, but this is historic and I am on the edge of my seat watching this!

wow!!
Raptors have trailed the entire game till about 5 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.
At the 2 minute warning it is now a 3 point ball game in Raptors favor !!

Damn !!
After trailing by 6, the Warriors went 9 straight points to take the lead.
Twice in a row they went 'downtown' for 2 good 3 pointers :eek:

It's a one point game with 30 seconds on the clock !

The Raptors almost had it with last possession of the game, but the shot missed the hoop !

We are heading back to Oakland for Game 6 !

It's a heck of a playoff. Durant's presence set the tone for the Warriors and they were able to carry it through even after Durant left the game. Both this and the NHL final series are great events. It's for Lord Stanley's Cup on Wednesday night! Go Bruins!

I'm not a fan of either team, but cheering Durant's injury was not nice....who the Toronto Fans think they are Philly fans ;)

[ilan]

it ain't over yet

[dishuser]

now it is..lol

It should have been over in Game 5. Anyway, I don't watch much NBA, but despite the controversy in San Antonio with Kawhi not playing last season, and his trade, he's what I want to see in a player... just plays ball, and stays out of the press and social media. I know he wants to come back home to LA, but maybe the Raptors step up and pay him a lot more money to keep him... probably not. Losing Durant, and Thompson hurt the Warriors, oh well.

I had to take a break at work site earlier this evening and slip next door to the local sports pub to catch the end of this game.
It was a nail biter for sure :)
Next thing now is to get the 'back to back' championships as the Toronto BlueJays did back in the day :)

I did not see who got the MVP but i agree with choosing Kawhi
And if Durant had been in good physical condition, it would have been a whole other ball game, that is a fact :eek:

Congrats to the Raptors and Kawhi! It was an exciting series to watch!

[zaang83]

Great series!
