That's a win for the Raptors... but that's really a win for the Warriors

Raptors fan: It seems we won... but in fact, Warriors won.

[–]Raptors LordSnow998 24 points 3 hours ago

Holy fuck that win was so grinded out it barely even felt like a win.

Raptors fan: I'll just go, this victory is too difficult, I can't even feel like a win.

[–]Raptors Gigdygoo 404 points 50 minutes ago

Ayyyy the Raptors beat the warriors while KD dropped 51

Well they didn't have dragmond

Or cousins

Or curry .....

Fuck me

Raptors fan: Oh, Durant scored 51 points, we still beat the Warriors.

But they don’t pursue their dreams.

Days, it's a dog

[–]Raptors infiniteguest 523 points 2 hours ago

Raptors fans: They actually have the Big Three absent, fuck, hahaha

[–]acokiko 129 points 2 hours ago

Sooo....you're telling me there's a chance

So... do you think there is still a chance

[–]Raptors ezeymoney 561 points 45 minutes ago

How does one beat this team when step plays

Raptors fan: If Curry can play, who can beat this team?

[–]Rockets Daroo425 20 points 2 hours ago

well I can tell you that missing 27 straight 3s doesn't work

Rockets Fan: Anyway, I can tell you that losing 27 three-pointers in a row is useless.

[–]Raptors definitely notagay 33 points 32 minutes ago

Simple. You just double team everybody.

Raptors fans: It's very simple, just double team for each of them.

[–]76ers Krankite 152 points 2 hours ago

That's a bit of an exam no need to double up on a player unless they are a geneuine allstar.

...oh

76ers fan: It's a bit exaggerated, there is no need to double up every player unless they are really All-Star level.

… Oh, I understand

[–]Knicks DragonEevee1 67 points 3 hours ago

We are fucked

Knicks fans: We are all fucked

[–]Warriors vote_boogie 38 points 3 hours ago

I’m so hypered that the raptors look this good. I’d rather watch this raptors team rather than a version of LeBron ball in the finals. Good ball movement, People aren’t just playing the foul game when it gets close, real plays being called, depth through the bench and their stadium sounds crazy. GG raptors

Warriors fan: I am so excited about the strength of this Raptors. I would rather encounter this Raptors in the finals than the LeBron team. They did a good job of transferring the ball, they were not rough when the score was close, the lineup was very deep, and their home atmosphere was very good. Come on, Raptors!

[–][GSW] Stephen Curry azmanz 38 points 3 hours ago

That's one of the few (only?) "good losses" GSW has had over the last couple years.

Entertaining as hell, gg raps

Curry fan: This is one of the few games I have used in the past few years that I still have a glory.

Enjoy one, come on, Raptors

[–][GSW] Klay Thompson ltbr55 38 points 3 hours ago

I'm surprised we even forced ot. I'm very happy with how we fought even though we were down double digits most the game. Gg raps

Thompson fan: We can actually force into overtime, which is a surprise. Although we are behind double digits most of the time, we still keep fighting, which makes me very happy. Come on, Raptors!

[–]Thunder SomeKindOfSomething 334 points 51 minutes ago

5 TOs in overtime. Damn shadow.

But man what a great game

Thunder fan: The Warriors made five mistakes in overtime. It's so regrettable that this ball was lost.

But this game is really exciting.

[–][LAL] Nick Young asharifa24 42 points 3 hours ago

Only the warriors can prove that they're still the best team in the league in a loss.

No Curry or Dray and a very cold Klay and they still barely lose to the Raps

Lakers Fan: Only the Warriors can prove that they're still the best team in the league in a loss.

No Curry or Dray and a very cold Klay and they still barely lose to the Raps

Lakers Fan: Only the Warriors can prove that they are still the best team in the league.

without Curry and Green, and even Clay felt cold, they almost beat the Raptors.

[–][TOR] Damon Stoudamire poohster33 88 points 41 minutes ago

That Lowry steal was such a relief.

Raptors fan: Lowry's steal made us feel relieved.

[–][GSW] Stephen Curry Vorcana 45 points 2 hours ago

That steel was extra impressed to me since it was on Iggy. Arguably our smartest player on the team.

Curry Fan: That steal impressed me particularly, because the one who made a mistake was Iguodala , he was the smartest player in our team.

[–]warlock801 685 points 3 hours ago

Raptors best team in Canada confirmed

Raptors is the best team in Canada.

[–]qrsf 311 points 3 hours ago

This Raptors squad is scary. Also impressive that the Warriors mounted that comeback all without McCaw.

The Raptors' lineup is very scary. The Warriors actually recovered without , McCao , which is a bit exciting.

Jerebko needs more help

Celtic fans: Jerebko is hard to support.

Raptors fan: Drake (Canadian rap superstar, famous loyal Raptors) When watching the game on the spot this season, the Raptors won 3 wins and 0 losses.

[–]Knicks Zaxii 256 points 3 hours ago

Spurs Fan: Now Durant should know how LeBron feels after G1 in the finals.

[–]aweot 291 points 3 hours ago

A nice preview of the finals.. except the Warriors are missing Curry, Green and dddddd Cousins

This finals preview is very good... In addition to the Warriors lacking Curry... Green... and Cousins.

[–]Raptors EpicBurntoast 110 points 3 hours ago

Insane game, but yea GSW is going to be unstoppable come June

Raptors Fan: The game is crazy, but yes, the Warriors will be unstoppable in June.

[–]Knicks MattyIce60 109 points 3 hours ago

Too bad the East runs through Cleveland, otherwise a Raps-Warriors series would be pretty sweet

Knicks fans: Unfortunately, Eastern teams all have to look at the faces of Cleveland (before the start of the season, TT said in an interview that the Eastern teams all have to pass the Cavaliers first...) Ah, otherwise it would be a pleasant round of the Raptors and Warriors series.

[–]Raptors alejpaz 116 points 3 hours ago

What. A. Game.

Durant is honestly so good tho

Raptors fan: This game is so exciting.

To be honest, Durant is really strong.

[–]Knicks Zaxii 312 points 3 hours ago

FUCK R/NBA KD IS GODDAMN LEGEND

Knicks Fan: Everyone in this section is gone, Durant is a legend!

[–]Raptors EGin2016 769 points 3 hours ago

KD played one of his best games I've ever seen

Raptors fan: This is one of Durant's strongest performances I have seen.

[–]ItzCStephCS 38 points 3 hours ago

Was watching and it felt like every shot was going in lol

When watching the game, he felt like he had to go in every shot, hahaha.

[–]Warriors darknecross 31 points 3 hours ago

That’s how I feel watching Kawhi.

Warriors fans: We see Kawaii feeling this way on the court.

[–][OKC] Paul George IncaseAce 140 points 3 hours ago

And Kawhi Leonard with the quiet 37

Paul George Fan: Kawai quietly scored 37 points.

Warriors Fan: Kawaii does everything quietly

Warriors Fan: Kawaii does everything quietly.

[–]Knicks ieatass123 40 points 3 hours ago

Klay looked like he missed like most of those 3 points towards the end.

Knicks fan: Clay seems to have missed most of the three-pointers in the late game.

[–]Rough_Roman 72 points 3 hours ago

Klay forget how to shoot and Iggy forget to dribble

Klay lost the shooting bag, and the number one lost the dribble bag.

[–]Celtics Brad-Stevens 257 points 3 hours ago

KD and Kawhi are aliens

Hot take: I'd rather have Danny Green in most playoff series over DeMar Derozan

Celtics Fan: Durant and Kawai are aliens.

To put it simply, I would rather use Danny Green most of the time than DeRozan .

[–]O_Ozil11 109 points 3 hours ago

Harsh but honestly facts lol

This is a harsh thing, but to be honest, hahaha

[–]Supersonics SongOfBlueIceAndWire 157 points 3 hours ago

Insanely good game, right!? Now imagine the same two teams meeting in the Finals in June... except Golden State has three more All-Stars playing than they had tonight.....Raptors are definitely a favorite to come out of the East and deserve props, but Golden State at full strength still wrecks them in a 7 game series.

Supers fans: The game is too crazy, right? Imagine how these two teams will meet in the finals in June next year... But then the Warriors still have those three... The Raptors will definitely be the favorite of the Eastern Conference champions and deserve recognition, but the Warriors who use all their strength can still crush them in a seven-game series.

[–]Raptors 15chainz 97 points 3 hours ago

Golden States gonna wreck anyone in the finals

Raptors fan: Golden State can crush any opponent in the finals.

[–]Lakers Lonzo_AirBall 808 points 3 hours ago

lol the league has no chance when Steph, dancemond, and boogie get back. Raptors are the top seed with their whole squad healthy and barely won lol

Lakers fan: Hahahaha, if Curry, Green and Cousins are all back, there will be no chance in the league. If the Raptors are all in one team, they will be the first record in the league, but they will not win the Warriors, hahaha
