NBA Final GSW Vs Toronto Raptors

[Presti35]

Golden State Warriors Vs Milwaukee or Toronto.

Hard to see either beating the Warriors.

[Presti35]

Unbelievably, the Raptors are heading to the FINAL after coming back from 2-0 down to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 4-2.

First time in their history they're in the final.

How the Raptors Won Game 1 Over the Warriors

Is it Bogut's fault?

[Presti35]

In all the years I've watched NBA, I cant recall a Final where the stars on either side didnt have the biggest impact, but the lesser known players had big nights.

Raptors with a huge choke in game 2.

Still a little bit of time left, but I dont think they have it in them.

Bogut getting some minutes.

[Presti35]

Klay Thompson had a hamstring problem. We'll have to wait and see if hes right for game 3.

How many Canadian basketballers are now in the NBA?

Raptors crush shorthanded Warriors for 2-1 NBA finals lead

"No Klay Thompson, no Kevin Durant, no Kevon Looney, and no one is going to feel sorry for the Golden State Warriors...

The Warriors missed [Thompson's] scoring, leaving Curry to carry much of the offence. He had 25 of his game-high 47 points in the first half when the Warriors shot 40 per cent, but just 33.3 per cent from Warriors not named Curry."

I cant see the Warriors winning from here, especially if KD and Klay dont return.

Raptors win the next game in GS, then they'll go all the way. Warriors will need to tie the series to have any chance.

The longer the series goes on, the harder it will be for GSW. They are battered up.

[Presti35]

I'm enjoying watching the death of the Warriors.

I remember when the Blue Jays won decades ago, and everyone sneered that there were no Canadian players in the team. But it never was supposed to be a country thing...

[Presti35]

Game starts in an hour. Raps win and its over. GSW win and we move on to game 6.

[Presti35]

Unbelievable ending. Toronto is absolutely stunned.

KD out in the 1st quarter and wont be back in time for the next two games.

The Warriors hit three threes in a row and end up taking the game by a single point.

Raptors just about had it in the bag. It was theirs. But you can never count out this Warriors team.

I've still had a good day at the bookies, but had Toronto won, I would have been able to pay for my flights to London.
