This is going to be one of the lowest scoring games we”ll ever see. This is a legacy game for Brown, Tatum, Harden and Embiid but they’ll all be scared to seize the moment. I think both teams play the best defense they’ve played all year. Someone will break through, it’s a complete guess as to who that’ll be. UNDER 201 for $10K let’s goooo |

Fully agreed!! The Raptors have owned the Warriors and this series should already be over but the Dubs happened to win both the close games in these Finals.
I"ll be nervous if its close again towards the end since the Ws have the best shooting backcourt in basketball history but I think this is a comfortable double digit Raptors win if they shoot reasonably well from 2 (mid 30%) and take care of the basketball.

The Raptors have made the most 3 pointers in the playoffs so far and average 34.4% for the season. If they shoot above 30% from 3 in either of the next 2 games, they will win. They are consistently out rebounding the Warriors and are able to generate better shots in both their half court offense and in transition. |

GSW lose 3 postseason home games IN A ROW? Their FINAL GAME @ Oracle? N O W A Y

It doesn't matter how fired up and motivated they are; they're facing a better team in Toronto with the best player, less injuries and more depth.
Curry and Klay have to put up 65 for the Warriors to win any remaining games.

Same ref crew as game 1 and same result -- Congratulations to your 2019 NBA Champion Toronto Raptors

Raps have completely outplayed the Warriors Dave; all their wins have been by double digits while the Dubs managed to win their 2 close games. Raptors are a great road team and they've already beaten the Warriors twice at the Oracle. They won't be scared. Kawhi played his worst game of the playoffs, the Raptors only shot 25% from 3 and the Warriors shot 48% from 3 and only lost by 1?? I do agree the refs favored the Raps in this game but I think Game 6 is 50/50. Raptors would be heavily favored in a Game 7.

LOL It takes like 5 hours to travel from Toronto to SF and the Raptors had to do the same exact thing before Game 3.

It was a much closer game than youd think with that final score. It's not about what they've done but what they can do. And it showed tonight minus another star player. One of us will win and I cant go against myself. Raps don't need to shoot that well to win at Oracle in Game 4. Do you think Curry will have 47 again? He played 40+ minutes tonight and needs to rebound in 48 hours. This was a wire to wire beatdown and GS stood no chance of getting back into the game. Klay is playing with a bum hamstring, do you think he can run around screens and chase Kawhi and Danny Green all over the floor? The Raps are the superior team given the current state of the Warriors (no Looney, no KD, Klay with bad hamstring)..

I can go on and on and on.....We the North Steph's been in the league for 2 years longer and Leonard has dealt with injuries for the past 5 years affecting his workload. Leonard has 2x 1st Team All NBA selections, 2x Defensive POY and has a Finals MVP. Curry has 1 more 1st Team All NBA selection and has those 2 MVPs but he's never won a Finals MVP and isn't on the same level as a defender.

You can't be a better player when the other team actively hunts you on defense. Wake me up when Curry shuts down the opposing team's best player like The Claw has done with Butler and Giannis.

You just said Toronto has a better bench. Ibaka, Van Vleet, and Norman Powell Yes because GS is trotting out a washed up Livingston, McKinnie and Looney. Looney has played well but FVV/Powell are better than Cook and Livingston.

Lillard and CJ play no defense and their big man can't hedge off a screen or defend a P&R to save their lives. Raptors have Gasol and Ibaka, 2 of the smartest veteran defending big men in the game. Warriors are going to need to put their big boy pants on for this series if it happens.

They were the 2nd best team in the NBA all year behind the Bucks. The Warriors feasted on the Blazers terrible perimeter D and lack of size all series and still were down double digits in the last 3 games. That shouldn't impress anyone. Raptors/Bucks will have home court and the best player on the floor when one of them faces this Dubs squad. Kawhi would shut Klay down and the combo of Lowry/Danny Green would make crybaby Steph go back to being Mr. Irrelevant in the NBA Finals. Draymond is playing great and the Warriors can still definitely win but the Raptors match up really well with them and its a 50/50 pick imo.

Would the Bucks really be underdogs here even with homecourt?
This could be the betting opportunity of a lifetime being able to get plus series odds on the better team with home court advantage just because of the public's perception of the Warriors' championship pedigree. |

You guys are overthinking this.
The 2019 Warriors aren't even as good as the Blazers without KD. They pulled out an emotional home win after KD went down because the Rockets had a brain fart but they have no shot here on the road. No bench, limited depth, Curry clearly not himself with injury to non shooting hand, Iggy unreliable shooter. As long as Capela outplays Looney which he should do at home, this is a wrap. Rockets will be up by 20+ in the 3rd Q and Kerr will waive the white flag in the 4th Q to bring in the scrubs to focus on regrouping for a Winner Take All Game 7. BOLTA!

Belgium coach just made some lineup changes and put in Fellaini and Chadi Over Mertens and the other guy. Their defense should be far improved and getting a refreshed Mertens off the bench is key. BOL everyone! |

It's better to be luck than good. I don't mean that in a snide way or anything but 2 goals in stoppage time...damn!!
I was on Under 2.5 and I was screaming at the TV for the ref to stop the game haha.
