Raptors have played this entire series without the weight of expectation

I figure that’s going to hit them like a tonne of bricks shortly

Houston and Portland saw Warriors without KD and backed off the pedal. With Kawhi and Danny Green on this side, I would imagine they’d be hammering away at the rest of the team telling them these chances are so rare and hard to get to. Raptors need game four while KD is out, then go home and close it out.

I hope the finals is not decided due to GSW missing players with injury, particularly when they are trying for a 3 peat.

Also even if Toronto wins, there will be people saying they only won because GSW had injuries.

I don’t think the raptors care how they win it.

Same happened to LBJ, with kyrie and KLove missing games.

Part of the game.

Nets clearing the decks to make strong offers for Kyrie and KD.

They trade Crabbe and pick 17 in the draft to the Hawks for Tauren Prince and a 2021 2nd round pick.

It will be amusing if they end up doing the deal and the Knicks miss out again.

Apparently Knicks into kawhi and not Kyrie.

I would be happy if we ended up with KD and Kawhi to go with our draft pick.

Would be a shock for kawhi to leave the raptors now.

Yeah, I’m not counting on Knicks delivering anything.

Their history is enough to turn away anyone with half a brain.

Like it was a few years back when Kyrie and Love went down?

Every year teams have injuries, part of the game.

Oh wait you’d already said that.

I wouldn’t shock me to be honest, his uncle clearly wants him playing elsewhere

I still think he leaves. He wants LA and probably the clippers.

If the Raptors do win the whole things would the erect a statue for his one season?
And what happens with the Raptors next year without him? Would they miss the playoffs?

KD , Klay, looney , Iggy (clearly inured) and boogie (clearly injured)

That’s basically the whole roster is injured. The current team doesn’t make it past Portland

Very poor start from the Raps from the field, missing loads of open looks. Kawhi has single-handedly kept them in this early with 14 of Toronto’s 17 1st qtr points.

Warriors got Klay and Looney back this game. Dominating the Raps so far.

Danny Green has been horrible so far…

Cousins is comfortably leading this series in flops.

Loves a moving screen too. They don’t get called at Oracle…
