Guess we have to wait our turn from the replay center. They must have gotten stuck reviewing another game.

Good night

[Spanky__99]

What a huge shot, f*** me.

[Abomination]

I don't like the no fouling approach there. Foul Green (70% in the playoffs) and force him to make pressure packed shots.

[Carlos Danger]

Well that is the game. We let this get away in the 3rd quarter and s*** D to go with our bricks. Might look back at this at the series straw that broke the camels back. I hope to heck we can win on the road.

[Fearthedoc]

No brainer to foul Green the second he touches it

[Angrioter]

and the foul?

 

f*** Raps coach

[Stoneyen]

What a frustrating game Jesus. WTF was that third quarter??? But man, the Warriors ball movement is incredible. Curry causes so many problems on defense especially when hes setting screens. Oh, and the reffing was horrible.

 

I feel like we could steal one in GS, but idk. It's gonna be extremely hard with so many fouls being called on our aggressive defense

[Spanky__99]

Well, the silver lining is they may not rush Durant back for G3

 

Lowry is such a cry baby. What is he complaining about?

 

Cousins was big as scrapper

 

Good night

Yeah, with shot clock diff of 3 seconds gotta foul DG there

[Barkerfan23]

The best player for the warrior isnt even playing yet

[connorp]

They may have lost Klay now though. He was still hobbling after the game

[connorp]

Nurse wanted them to foul Green. But they didn't. Then it went to Iggy and he inexplicably shot the ball. Which is fine. But then it went in, so that hurts.

 

I think I would take Iggy shooting that over a Green foul to be honest. Green will probably split the FTs and make it a 3 point game, minimum. Meanwhile, Iggy hadn't made a 3 in like 3 weeks.

 

Maybe you’re right but you didn’t know that was going to be the outcome. If they take a shot at the end of the shot clock, after the rebound you’d have one or two seconds possibly.

On to game 3.

[Abomination]

If they put it in Curry's hands at the end, he probably takes up the whole clock and launches something that hits the rim, eating those remaining two or three seconds entirely (assuming he isn't fouled, and he's deadly there too). I just don't think you can hold off in that situation. Foul early on the best target you can get, then give yourself lots of clock to get a good look.

We'll see how he is in game 3, but he may not be 100%. Though, at this stage in the NBA playoffs, who is?

[onwego]

What a huge shot, f*** me.

 

 

as the ABC feed noted immediately, he lined it up for 5 seconds, Livingston's no-look pass helped keep the D away

[connorp]

KL almost had the steal and a breakaway.

[Dr. Dinger]

Feels like the season is on the line tonight. With KD still out, now Looney out, and potentially Klay hobbled, the Raps won’t get an easier opportunity for a win than tonight, going forward. Conversely, if they do steal a road win tonight, you are guaranteed to get back to Toronto no worse than 2-2, and the Raps take a firm hold on the series.

He spoke of that, lol. Over Iguawtfbbq's shot.

Yeah, they really need to attack Klay and either get easy baskets or get him out of the game. Really though, we played just fine in game 2 with the exception of those 6 minutes coming out of the half where we got good looks but nothing fell. If we can avoid that, we should be just fine. Missing a lot of shots is a killer against the Warriors, as they really look to push the ball before the defense can set up.

[Frag]

What was that anthem?

[Abomination]

No Klay (at least in the starting lineup)

[Abomination]

What was that anthem?

 

I missed it (thankfully). IMO the anthem isn't about you (the singer), so f***ing sing it the way it was intended.

[Boxcar]

Green shut the crowd up completely lol

[Abomination]

Fantastic first quarter!

 

Also, Curry is having a ridiculous start. 17 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists after one quarter.

[Spanky__99]

Wow!!!

[Spanky__99]

Damn... lol

[Spanky__99]

I want a RAM badass... can't wait.
