    I genuinely thought the calls favored the Warriors in the first half. The second half was different. Just my perception. In the final analysis, the Warriors just played better.

    Does anyone still think Raptors are deeper than GSW?

    8-man rotation is not going to be enough to wear down GS

    Against this Raptors team, they are.

    GS have played 10 deep in the first 2 games while Raptors are using same 8-man crew.

    raptors have gotten to the finals using a 7-8 man rotation throughout the playoffs. there's nothing surprising about that

    How does that prove that they are deep?

    It's all over bar the shouting. The Raptors will have a tough time with GS and the refs on the road.

    As much as I hate the Warriors, you gotta love how they play and how they play for each other.
    Makes me wish the Rockets played more like them.

    Yeah, like when Draymond told Durant "we don't need you" and called him a "b*tch" (on the court for all to see)

    I am not buying it. These guys win because they have more talent than everyone else. In fact, they have twice the talent than any other team in the league has. That is all. End of story.

    Curry is more talented than anyone else.

    That's it, end of story. Historically best player wins.

    Sure and the rest of the all-star team they are fielding doesn't hurt either.

    Draymond didn't make the all star team this year. Durant is hurt. Klay got hurt in the game.

    These are all excuses harden only fans would be using for him going ghost.t

    Yea. Leonard got away with at least two offensive fouls near the basket, elbowed people out of the way; Gasol commits fouls on moving screens, even worse than Bogut; then the grab & holding on Curry & Thompson away from the ball.

    With the exposure of TVs and social medias, you think the refs were trying to cheat? Refs make & miss calls, the calls generally balanced out over the period of the games. So stop whining.

    I am not a Harden only fan and never even referred to Harden in my posts. I am a Houston Rockets only fan and simply stating the obvious.

    well years of playing together helps a lot. klay iggy draymond curry been teammates since 2012/2013 i think. With the rockets you dont have that. harden and capela were the only rockets starter thats been playing together for more than three years. and capela didnt even play starters minutes til 2016. hell even durant have more playing years with THE current GSW team than the current rockets team is with Harden.

    Fans always try to find excuse for their teams loses, bring up this "what if" for their failure. But NBA is no soccer, the championship is not decided by ONE game, or the penalty kick, you have to beat a team FOUR times each round to advance, and lucky/accident/what-ifs cannot carry your to the end, better team wins over a 7-game series.
