That's the worst officiated finals half I've ever seen.

Nurse should have at least a tech. They're shitting on the Raptors and not even trying to hide it

Raptors straight up look like the better team. Is something wrong with Curry? (he asks, before Curry goes off for 28 in the 3rd quarter or something).
They said he looked like he might be sick and were talking about it.

That said, the scoring flurry you alluded to came like clockwork.

Golden State is a completely different team defensively when Iguodala is out there. It's literally night and day.

Raptors playing each possession of these last few minutes as if they are down 3 with 8 seconds to go.

Can somebody make a fucking basket? My God. I needed 9 points total with almost 5 minutes to go, and I still need 9 with 1:10 left.

Man, that wide open you gotta shoot in rhythm. You can't just wait 3 more seconds and let them close out. I think Van Gundy is off.

Agreed. I have no idea what Mark Jackson was talking about lol.
I was watching somewhere with the sound off, but if you’re talking about the OOB play with Draymond and Gasol it seemed pretty clear to me that it was off Gasol’s arm. In one of the angles you can clearly see the rotation of the ball change in a way that could only happen if Gasol’s forearm swipes the ball from underneath.

Way Way WAY OFF!! If Iggy hesitated not only is he now out of rhythm but he's not going to even be able to get a shot off as you have the defenders closing out on him. Van Gundy was once a respected coach in this league......listening to him describe this play tells you something about head coaches from a couple decades ago. It was more who you know than what you know.

Yes that was the play. The change of rotation appeared to be when the ball slid off the ballhandlers hand as it passed Gasol's arm. The one angle showed that it didn't hit Gasol's arm which negates the ball rotation from the other angle.

What if Thompson is out and Durant was never really coming back? It’s hard to see how they win with Toronto able to focus on taking away Curry at the perimeter.
They need Boogie to contribute even more, I was very happy for him tonight. Home court should help too...

Whew, great game. Strength in Numbers (KD, Klay, Looney out, Cousins rushing back from a ruptured quad, Steph flu-ish or something, Andre, Shaun and Bogut old) ekes it out over Kawhi hero ball. Salient stat o' the night: 34-17 assists, GS, including some fantastic reads and finds by DeMarcus.
