Lowry going god mode...too bad the rest of the team can't hit an open shot, Patterson has missed like 5 open 3's LOL

Raps are done. Down 18 with 5 minutes to go

Lowry/DeRozan had no help from their entire team, no one besides them scored more than 10 points.

Playoffs is a different animal. It's all about adjustments and matchups.
Steve Kerr did not deserve to win COY. First of all he only came back halfway into the season. A gorilla could have coached them. It was an identical roster from last season.
Terry Stotts definitely should have won, to integrate 4 new starters into their system and still guide the Blazers to a 5th place finish in the West was way more impressive.

To be fair, without the "team" they wouldn't have even made it out of the 1st round. Lowry and Derozan were downright horrible starting the post-season.
They took 2 games from Cavs which already exceeded my expectations lol.
Patrick Patterson sucks balls, he missed 2 easy layups and many wide open 3's.

The Raps need reliable scoring from the bench if they want to get to the next level of being serious contenders for an NBA championship.

Patterson and T. Ross were shooting bricks for the entire series vs. the Cavs.

They need shooters who can make open shots for 3 pointers. Raps need that secondary scoring in order to give Lowry and DeRozan support.

JV and Ross were so under-utilised for game 6

nobody on Cavs has the size to stop JV, Cavs would need to double every time Raps iso-JV but they never ran that play... would've opened up the court for Lowry/DeRozan or open 3's and not to mention it would have likely gotten Frye in more foul trouble in the second half

Ross played well these playoffs I thought, mixed up his shot and drive well but just didn't get enough touches when DeRozan was on the bench... Raptors as a team need better execution on offence, they're not using their strengths and rely too much on Lowry/DeRozan breaking people down on mismatches

IMHO I think Casey is a bad coach

:werd:

Hes going to get an extension though for taking raps that far.

I was more frustrated by the fact that, in the 4th while they were within 10, Casey kept James Johnson out there marking LeBron, which getting three or four possession between the 10 min to 7 min marks.

Ironically, the last possession by the raps was an air ball finger roll by jamessssss Johnsonnnnnn !!

Its mind boggling how he manages his rotation sometimes.

With that being said, good season for the raps, great exposure for basketball up north.
All abroad the cavs bandwagon because anyone but okc.

inb4 GS 4-3

Hell no I'm rooting for OKC, they are playing hard. If they can beat the Warriors then they will have knocked off both record-setting teams in Golden State and San Antonio which was a way tougher road than the Cavaflops.

Warriors all day. Can never stand these annoying OKC pricks from way back in the days.

Klay Thompson and Curry's shooting is on fire in this game 6! What a game. KD is trying to play hero and take too many shots.

GSW IN 7!

:fuckyea: Game 7. The 3 ball killed OKC. 21 3's by GSW and 3 by OKC.

Thompson played unbelievable, making down some of those shots, just wow!

so satisfying. OKChoke

chOkeKC

The Splash Brothers had a huge game tonight with clutch shooting!

Klay Thompson was shooting daggers! :gun:

Absolutely nutty game between OKC & GSW. I think both teams have regressed to the mean. I don't think anyone (Not even Charles Barkley) imagined OKC would be up 3-1...

Tough to be a NBA team right now... how do you build a team to beat GSW or CLE(as long as lebron stays) ...

You don't. Teams go hot and then they go cold. Champs a few years, chumps the next. Bad decisions are made all the time. Guys want more money after success or guys starting to PMS about his hometown (LeFlop) which makes it hard to keep the same group together.

OKC's arguably only chance was with Harden. They made a dumb ass trade and that ship has sailed. Would love to see Durant in another uniform and away from Westprick, who can go choke somewhere else for all I care.

Pumped for game 7, huehuehue

gsw would be a better matchup for cavs
okc is long and tall

The Warriors' shooting from the Splash Brothers, faster game tempo for their game plan, their ball movement, and home court advantage will be the difference in game 7 tonight.

Choke KC!! :lawl:

Anticipating tonight's game..
Expecting a BLOWOUT
