2019 NBA Finals GSW vs Toronto Raptors prediction thread.

[Ogaju]

who wins?

I have GSW if Durant does not play. If Durant plays then I will root for Toronto.

GS in 5.

Just think with or without KD it doesn't matter. Warriors just know how to play when the money is on the table.

Considering Durant will miss the first game or two, I think Toronto could sneak a game or two a home. Kawhi will be able to rest on defence, lol

Toronto in 7

GSW will have issues with raptors interior

Raptors exterior defense proved they can close it down. Bucks couldn't get a clean 3 pt shot late in games, 3 games in a row now

Curry is going to run Lowry into the ground.

Curry is going to run Lowry into the ground.

doubt it

Lowry is like Marcus Smart

he is a relentless defender and physical

sure Curry will still get "his"... but it won't be as easy time he had vs Blazers

Van Vleet,  Siakam, Powel all play tough D

Curry is going to run Lowry into the ground.

Because why? Curry stunk against Toronto when he played them this year, so dunno what you're basing this off

Regular season means zero. Curry is at a different level right now. Lowry having to chase Curry all over the floor will wear him out. Plus he is playing with a busted hand.

you will you see

you are used to average defenders like Irving etc.  letting Curry run around all he wants

against physical defenders like Rozier, Smart, Lowry... Curry is at his most "down to earth" performances

plus on the flipside, Curry is not the strongest defender himself

Lowry is good at chasing people around screens and draws lots of foul from opposition players by being a pest. He's a much better matchup for him than Lillard.

Is Iggy going to stop Kawhi? Lol.

Plus Toronto have a legit low post threat who can shoot and pass. No idea why you think this is some cakewalk

[PhoSita]

Warriors in 5.

Edit:

Warriors in 6; forgot Toronto had homecourt.

[Briantir]

Toronto beat the Bucks 4 times in a row that's incredible I give them a good shot against the Warriors.

GSW will need Durant back

because the raptors are much more balanced than the Blazers or the Rockets

Toronto looks like a place that is impossible to win a game.  That is one loud, crazy place

[SparzWizard]

I predict the home team will celebrate the NBA championship this year.

That being said, Toronto in 7. Kawhi Leonard defense will stifle Kevin Durant. We'll finally see how the Warriors oppose Leonard this time around. It's time for some revenge for that Zaza Pachulia cheapshot. Plus, Golden State has had it tough in their playoff run this year- going 6 games respectively on the Clippers and Rockets. Easy sweep over a banged-up Portland team.
