As much of a disbeliever as I've been, I have to believe that GS would have definitely won tonight had Klay not gone down.
30 pts. Wow. He'd have gotten many more.

Agree concord. Warriors were real Warriors this series. Totally lived up to the name. Helluva game tonight. And an incredible 5 year run, the likes that we probably won't see again. It has been a blast, along with the Giants winning 3 World Series earlier,this decade, wow. Just Wow. Just a thought. If Thompson played the 4th Q tonight, I think the Warriors win. But big congratulations to Toronto!

ABC trying to suggest the warriors are done, as they played this song mixed to curry walking out the tunnel with his head down.



But not so fast, says Ryan Hollins, who appears to think KD will return so he can rehab.

How about a warriors team as an 4-seed gets Durant back in time for the playoffs?

Yes, Toronto did well, very well.
But there has to be a bit of an asterisk, given all the injuries.

That sucks!

I don't know. I'm a Warriors fan, but I'm fine congratulating Toronto with no talk of asterisks. Injuries are part of the game.

Similarly, I rolled my eyes when Cleveland fans (and others) talked about the Warriors' first championship in 2015 coming with an asterisk because Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love went down early and the Cavs still took it to 6 games.

Raptors deserve it now, just as Golden State deserved it then.

so you put a big asterisk next to the win over the Cavaliers when Love and Irving were out, right? so that's 2 1/2 championships in 5 years

As a warriors fan, I never felt that great about that title. So I'm fine putting an asterisk there if you want.

But even with that said, comparing irving/love to Durant/Klay/cousins/Looney is just silly.

If irving and love were healthy, there's still a good chance the warriors beat them.

If the warriors had kd/Klay there is almost zero chance the raptors beat the warriors

That was the warriors first title in like 40 years.
We didn't care about who was injured, just like the raptors don't care now.

So, emotionally speaking, its 3.5 titles in 5 years.

Probably Cleveland feels they won 2.0 titles in 3 years.
The first year was .5
The next year when they won (because of Iggy, green, Bogut) counts as 1.0
And the third year they deem as unfair because we added Durant, so that's another .5 in the minds.
So, 2.0

You know what, I just convinced myself that we should get .5 for the year Cleveland won (for reasons in prens, above).
So, 4 in 5.
