Game 6, Eastern Conference Finals: Milwaukee Bucks @ Toronto Raptors - Saturday May 25th 8:30pm ET SN

Kawhi is going to end up as probably the greatest Raptor after 1 season. Lol. RIP Carter & DeRozan.

Probably? He already is.

Got like 4-5 hours of sleep last night.. still buzzing. The next 5 days are going to be so hard.

I just checked the weather and it’s warmer in Toronto today and tomorrow than in LA.
What a time to be alive.
Go Raptors!

I love that Kawhi will be here to finally experience warmer weather. Every little bit helps

Scraptor, we need Finals GM 1 thread. Conference finals is so has been...
I'm so confident about the Finals now, I think we can sweep them as long as they're without KD.
Their defense hasn't been good this year the entire regular season and the playoffs. They made more shots than their opponents and that's it. And the opponents have been rather underwhelming defensively.
The only team worth mentioning was the Rockets. The Rockets had the best def rating in the west at 107.5. But their offense relied too much on Harden who wasn't very efficient averaging basically 30 shots/game shooting 40%. Still that series went 6 games. And GSW still had KD for most of it.
Raptors def rating is at an incredible 102 this postseason despite playing 2 rounds against the most explosive offensive teams in PHI and Bucks. GSW defensive rating? 110. Despite playing against teams that have struggled shooting the ball. Especially Portland.
Raptors can exploit Curry by attacking him, forcing switches where he's constantly forced to defend either Kawhi or Pascal or Norman or even Lowry. Always attack Curry all night long. Make him play defense and put him in foul trouble. Make him work hard for his shots on the other end and the Warriors won't have an answer. We limit Curry or take him out of the game, the Warriors stand no chance. If the other guys beat us, so be it. But I don't see it happening in 4 games out of 7.
Go Raptors!

The bold, in today's nba no less, is nothing short of extraordinary.

I agree with a lot of what you said, I think if they don't have Durant 100% this looks like a coin toss right now, which is of course great for the Raptors. They can totally take it.

I couldn't even sleep in bc of the adrenaline

Scaptor!!! Couldn’t post last night because I was able to make it to the game. It was louder and crazier than anyone could tell you it was. I just heard someone on the radio say “Raptors-Warriors” and it still doesn’t feel real. For everyone here who has been along this journey...congratulations

Love the energy and enthusiasm of Toronto / Canada after this win. Golden State - Raptors will be a close, competitive series. They do not (without Cousins, Durant) have a dominant centre / power forward like Orlando / Philly / Bucks. We will have the size advantage for a change.

Congrats on being there for a historic moment. Seeing the streets so crazy made me miss TO so bad.

This is the craziest non-drink hangover I’ve ever had. Still walking around in a daze

We need to grab all those offensive rebounds, prevent GSW from scoring in transition which fuels their game.
Slow down the pace, grind it out.

We can do this against that mighty warriors.
