Raptors Lead Series 3-2

Can’t believe how this series has turned on its head man. That Raptors OT win in Game 3 has really changed the complexion of this series, Bucks were moments away from being 3-0 up and now one loss away from elimination! Crazy stuff. Kawhi is truly having an unbelievable series as well. 11 30 pt games already!

Giannis will need to work on his mid range game at least and FTs of course. He can't be trying to score on 3/4 bodies in the paint it just won't work. Raptors have to win Game 6 though this is their chance now to go to the Finals if they blow it I doubt they win again in Milwaukee

I didn't believe in Raptors at all especially after the first two games. Big respect for them to make it. I hope they can take advantage of Durant injury. Still, think that Bucks would have a better chance against Warriors in the finals.

Teams trailing 2-0 after 2 games have only come back to win their series 21 times out of 283 series. 5 of these 21 times have happened in the last 3 years.

Blazers over the Clippers (2016 1st round)

Cavs over the Warriors (We all remember this one)

Celtics over Chicaggo (Rondo injury, 2017 1st round)

Cavs over Celtics (2018 ECF)

Raptors over Bucks (2019 ECF)

Stephen Curry has to for sure win Finals MVP this year. I got Warriors in 6 and Steph winning his first ever FMVP. Kawhi and co won't be no pushover though should be a great finals series!

Stats/Facts

Siakam only the 7th player in finals history and first since 2004 to post 30+ pts on 80% or better shooting percentage

Curry has scored 30+ pts in 6 straight playoff games, only one away from tying warriors franchise playoff record (Chamberlain and Barry have 7 each).

Warriors have lost a Game 1 of a playoff series just for the 2nd time ever in Steve Kerr era (19-2) and 1st time in the NBA Finals (4-1).

Raptors have won 6 straight home playoff games

Raptors are now 11-1 when leading at half time in this post season

Warriors have lost just for the 2nd time in last 33 games that Curry plays in and Durant doesn’t

Very glad the Raptors won Game 1 it instantly makes the Finals so much more interesting seeing Warriors under some adversity. I think they win Game 2 though and tie the series

Never question the heart of a champion. What a big win this will be by the Warriors. No KD, Klay got hurt, Steph don't feel well and still they are up 12 with 5 mins left.

And that's why I backed the Warriors tonight. Can never underestimate them. When they're the underdogs to win a game they're always going to be backed by me.

What a big shot by Iguodala! He's such an unsung hero in this Warriors run

Why do even need to announce that he is out for every game? Just announce that he ruled out for the whole series.

Kawhi Leonard oh my goodness! What a performance so far
