    Siakam needs to stop playing like Aminu ... and Danny Green needs to stop being Moe ...
    But most of all .. Lowry ... never seen a worst PG playing so many minutes for a contender. Even Kenny Smith (Rockets) wasn't this bad. Give those minutes to VanFleet (aka Sam Cassell)

    I'm not rooting for the Warriors, BUT I also don't like when a team like Toronto comes out of nowhere and wins a title UNLESS it's our Blazers.

    If teams can throw money at Embiid ... they will still throw more money at KD. No worries about it. Knicks, Clips, Nets ... will take a chance at KD rather than stink for another decade.

    Weird take.

    Surprise performances are what make sports fun and exciting.

    This injury sure looked like achilles from the beginning. From the boot and the way Doris was covering it you have to think he ruptured it tonight. We all know that takes the best part of a year to get back from and as much as 2 years to come back from at full strength if ever. I agree this will most definitely have some effect on the entire free agent market.

    A team who has never won vs a team who has too much. Easy choice

    You may be right but KD is 30 and may miss all of next year (if its his achilles). Its a much different situation now. Obviously teams have money and may throw it at him anyways.

    I kind of thought it was more of a joke? Though he didn't use green font?

    Left Coast vs East Coast

    Canada vs USA! USA! USA!

    Unfortunately, the Blazers are a team that will never do that

    I know it's weird but if GS wins a title then it's just another one, doesn't bother me. If Toronto wins they get the honor of dethroning the dynasty. I want the Blazers to take down GS, not the Raptors.

    I never said it wasn't exciting, just that it's not my team so I don't really care to see them climb a mountain my team can't.

    Siakam and Green did their best Aminu-Harkless impersonations tonight...

    You gotta think the pressure might start getting a little more intense in game six and if the warriors push this to game seven those two are gonna have to produce or this will be very ugly.

    I guess I can see that.

    Sports at the end of it is entertainment. I don't really care who wins as long there's some drama and high level, competitive basketball being played.

    But I do really like this Raptors team and enjoy rooting for them.

    I was sort of being facetious, but its weird how many posts are saying those guys played Moe and Aminu, but when Moe and Aminu play like that its all the coaches fault.

    No, they just had an off night. They've shown they can get it done in this series.
