D'Angelo Russell Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Big congratulations to the Raptors on their first NBA title! Personally not a Raptors fan but I am a basketball fan and they were objectively the better team throughout the series. They'll be contenders again next season if they keep Kawhi which seems very likely. A well deserved finals mvp for Kawhi. I look forward to Siakam developing into an all star player. As for the Warriors they've had an amazing run, but they might struggle to make the playoffs next year even if they do manage to resign KD and Klay. Klay out for most of the next season with ACL tear and KD done for the whole season. An unceremonious end but they played their heart out this series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually only watch playoff basketball since hockey is on during the year, but this Raps team was so damn fun to watch and an easy group of guys to cheer for. Congrats! Hope Kawhi stays with the Raps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Thompson injury update https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nba/klay-suffered-torn-acl-in-left-knee/ar-AACRhr5?ocid=spartandhp Golden State Warriors All-Star Klay Thompson suffered a torn ACL in Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors, his agent Greg Lawrence told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Thompson landed awkwardly after getting fouled on a fast-break dunk attempt in the third quarter, and he immediately went down favoring his left knee. The sharpshooter headed to the locker room before briefly coming back onto the court to shoot his free throws, leading to hope he could return again. The 29-year-old eventually left the arena on crutches, and the Raptors went on to defeat the Warriors, clinching their first NBA championship. Thompson was on fire prior to the injury, finishing the night with 30 points on 8-12 shooting in 32 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Ujiri was denied enter the court to celebrate, and pushed a deputy. Considering the senseless excess violence on black folks in the US, I think they should just drop the charges. A simple apology should be good enough. Both sides look stupid. http://www.tsn.ca/1.1322398.1560556592 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone look at my hometown as a girl on the cheerleading team? Toronto is an interesting city with more problems than most of Canada combined is more like the girl that got pregnant in grade 9 and who you mistake for someone's mother at your 10 year reunion. That all being said, good for the Raptors and given they won without a single lottery draft pick (highest pick was 15th overall) and won as a team, gives some freshness into a professional sporting world that is too often in need of a refresh. However, it does not turn Toronto into some kind of mecca as the city itself has poor weather, illogical layout, odd transportation options and too many self-important people trying to get nowhere far too quickly.

I hope this incident reminds Mr. Ujiri how racist so much of America is, so he stays in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t mean we don’t like the Raptors and the Jays though. I think we get the best of both worlds as fans from afar. We get to live here (and not in the center of the *&$# hole universe) while still cheering for those two teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
