Cue the injury excuses from some of the Warriors' faithful (not on this board necessarily), but the Raptors probably would have won anyway.

Something else to consider. Take away the 18-0 run by the Warriors in the 3rd quarter of Game 2 and the Raptors likely have a 3-0 series lead.

Did Jachba tell you that he had to talk me off the ledge, after the Bucks had a 4-0 lead in Game 1 ? Its bad enough he leaves me out here alone to fight off the Wolfpack after each loss, but now he’s blabbing my secrets to you guys too ?  Don't know if you are actually upset about my unavailability after each loss or not, but just in case... I not only have three grade school age kids who I have to battle with to get to bed each night (a task that is harder now because they want to stay up to see the Raptors in the finals), but I have a wife that has three disabilities who needs my help at times even though she is quite independent and can run a household better than a lot of able-bodied people. Kind of makes it hard to post consistently.  God bless your family. Your wife has a special kind of courage to overcome her challenges. All the best to you and yours my friend.

Kind of makes it hard to post consistently. I’m not upset at all. Battling these merciless brutes every day & night is something I’m used to, and can certainly handle, I just tried to drop a subtle hint that I’m not too proud to accept some help every now and then.  I fully understand that this is message board can’t take priority over much else in life though. So just keep doing what you’ve gotta do, as that’s much more important.

Cue the injury excuses from some of the Warriors' faithful (not on this board necessarily), but the Raptors probably would have won anyway. While they do have a valid excuse of being short handed, anyone who watched the game could see there was absolutely nothing easy about that win. The Warriors still scored 109 points (the same exact amount they did in Games 1 & 2), shot 40%, and had 3 more rebounds than Game 1 and only 2 less than Game 2. The guys who were playing stepped up, and put up one hell of a fight, so deserve some credit for that. Curry was sensational, and he basically took the shots that Thompson would have taken if he was playing, and made a good amount of them. The Splash Brothers combined for 55 and 48 points in the first two games, in Game 3 Curry took all the shots they would normally split and came away with 47. It’ll be interesting to see if he gets fatigued early on Friday, because he expended a hell of a lot of energy in this game. I’m not gonna pop off about the win, given the circumstances, but do certainly think it was a victory that had to be earned in a very tough environment to play in. If our guys didn’t all show up like they did, it wouldn’t have been enough, so it was a well earned victory...

Kinda lost interest in a series where the warriors are playing without 60% of their regular starting line up. |

Punk ass warriors “investor” gets banned for a year and fined $500k for shoving Kyle Lowry last night. Should probably make him transfer his interest to Lowry so Kyle can be an actual owner rather than just figurative.
Utah banned a fan for life after he apparently used racial epithets directed at Russell Westbrook. What about Drake?

Sounds like he’s also gonna be forced to sell his Ownership shares, in addition to the year long ban, and half million dollar fine. That guy gets the L of the week for sure. Not even Freak could manage to PWN himself that bad...

Nd the warriors announced that Kevin Looney is out indefinitely. They are doing their best Charger imitation. Well, that didn’t last long. KevOn Looney is going to play tonight. That’s what guys who don’t have plans to bolt in FA in a couple weeks do...

From Bill Simmons:
1. Toronto played its worst half in 3 weeks and they’re down 4 at halftime.
2. Curry seems dead from a superhuman workload 2 nights ago.
3. 2nd half: Less Lowry, more Kawhi.
4. Mark Jackson’s pep talk for Mark Stevens was the funniest moment of the playoffs.

Mark Jackson’s pep talk for Mark Stevens was the funniest moment of the playoffs. The idea of Mark Jackson giving anyone a pep talk is funny. The dude sounds half asleep when he talks. It also doesn’t surprise me at that if anyone came to that guys defense that it was Jackson. I had a feeling Curry would be a bit gassed tonight, after the minutes he played and energy he put out the other night. He did have a pretty typical game for him though, 40% shooting and 27 points.
