They are in finals now. Even without Kevin Durant, I think they are taking down whoever comes from the East (Milwaukee or Toronto). Steph is back to 2015 MVP level, Draymond has been fantastic and Klay is also chipping in.

Sounds like they might have Cousins back for the Finals. I’d like to see him and Durant get back healthy. I don’t think the Bucks stand a chance against them, but I think the Raptors might be able to win a game if they can get there. Either way, Houston was the only real threat this year.

Before the Raps series, the Bucks looked like the real deal. Giannis was on a roll and Bledsoe was playing really well at PG. They also got Brogdon back. But Bledsoe has been abysmal in the last two games, Brook Lopez hasn't played great either. I still fancy the Bucks to come out of the East due to their depth and home court advantage.

I think Golden State has the best  NBA team and I think that they will win the final. The semifinal between Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors are still open, but I think Toronto Raptors will win.

 

No doubt that Golden state warriors will get the third title for championship but for sure they will enjoy the presence of Toronto raptors as we can see how this team improved this season,but just like Ognasty says it’s the Houston Rockets is the big threat for the trophy

The whole squad of GSW is ready to fire, aiming for  three-peat is not far from reality, Curry leading the team again he's back on track remembering how hes been doing before Durant joined the team, with how they are performing and how things is working according to what they've intended to finish
this league, grand slam is not far to happen.

I think no team from the East whether it's the bucks or toronto has the ability to sweep the warriors who got 3s shooters talents such as Curry and clay plus the come back of KD. Warriors in 5 in the NBA finals.

I believe that this kind of thread should be in gambling discussion for more information to gather.
Houston couldn't be the real threat for the reason that the only rotation of the ball is James Harden, Harden James, James, Harden... ;D. You cannot win the game if you only have one player handling the ball unless you're Kobe. I don't even think that both teams in the East could step up against GSW even without KD and adding Cousins in the Finals could devastate the future of the east.

The only reason I have is that, both teams in the east(raptors and bucks) have a lot of players that are having an elite season but having a devastating game in the playoffs. In Milwaukee, they have Eric Bledsoe, God Eric is missing a lot of open layups. In the raptors, we all know for a fact that Kyle Lowry is known for being an upset in playoffs. Not only Lowry, they have a choking Marc Gasol that is not playing well at the 2 opening games of ECF. Another player that is not that great in the playoffs is Vanfleet, he's shooting poorly in the playoffs. In conclusion, GS will have a three-peat and they have more than 1 week to prepare for the Finals, what if Durant shows up? THE END, Three-peat. 

GSW showed their power against Blazers and doesn't matter which team will meet them in the final, they will be afraid of them just because they are the defending champions. Even without KD they are an elite team because they have a good rotation of the players and if one of them is not doing good in a match another one will replace him and score more points than his average. They will also have the advantage of resting a lot more.

They have been playing exceptionally well without Durant, I think they became predictable with Durant in the line-up. That's why the Houston Rockets and Portland Trailblazers wasn't unable to solve them because they are un-predictable in the last 6 games (without KD). So in a sense, it's a blessing somewhat with Durant on the floor because teams know they will just have to contain him.

Now GSW is more fluid, everyone touches the ball and then Steph is waxing hot and showing his NBA MVP caliber.

With that said, I'm seeing GSW having it's three-peat.

I dont like how Cousin played but its a big help for GSW to take home the NBA finals well on other side Bucks cannot defeat GSW I'm also want to see Raptors vs GSW in the finals rathan than Bucks.

Even if without durant at the game stephen curry carry to lead the team to get gonna win for another championship final in history of NBA. Congratulations to the raptors face GSW for the final best of 7 games.

I agree, but I don't think they're gonna win.

The worst finale

Lol, why you say so? Just because GSW is so dominant lately?

How about Lakers vs Sixers when Iverson was at his prime? 1st, 2nd and WCF Lakers swept their opponent 4-0 and then they have been beaten by Sixers lead by Iverson in game 1? But the Lakers won the next 4 games.

So that I would consider one of the the worst finale of all time.

We’ll find out just what kind of fight Kawhi is going to put up on Thursday. KD and Boogie won’t be ready to go, so I think the Raptors better give it there all in game 1 if they want to have a serious shot to win it.

I don't play basketball but I love watching NBA and of course I am a fan of GSW. I am sure that against Toronto there is no way that Golden State can't win the championship. I beleive that this time GSW is more prepared physically, emotionally and psychologically for the games in the finals. Let's shoot the ball!

It’s a long shot but I’m pulling for the underdogs Raptors.  It will show that other teams can win besides the Warriors.  I think a more competitive league is better for the game. 

Not only possible but they can definitely do this, remember they already won championships even without Kevin Durant, they have a lot of good players that can be a good substitute to Durant, I expect Warriors to win the series 4 - 2 Raptors are a great team but Warriors are talent-laden and they have a lot of experience playing in the finals.

chances always there for both teams, they won't be there if they are not deserving to win, but this kind of legacy most of the team dreams to have,
it will be a good history for them to have this and be tag as the greatest after the bulls domination way back the 90's.

They can win this year even without kevin Durant we know kevin Durant is one of the best player to their team but they have more best player too their team so I don't see any reason for them to doubt or anything. Because winning in the gamd if golden state warriors have good startegy and have unity they can win without him it will not determine if they win or not without Durant.

Finals is very much different, Warriors has been tested so many times in clutch time and they will again deliver the good, I like Toronto's brand of playing they can deliver at a very tight situation, but Warriors have a lot of talent that will be hard for the Raptors to equalize I gave the championship to the Warriors.

Raptors have a chance! It's a much better team than last season, they lost DeRozan but improved greatly by adding Leonard, Green and Siakam. They are still underrrated but can beat the warriors, maybe in 7 games.

Here we go!!! Game 1 is about to begin! Cousins active! Should be a great show!

Wow with the Raptors winning game one, it looks like it will be a competitive series. 

They definitely will... It'll be glorious to see.

Will be interesting to see how the Warriors respond.  Their front court was dominated in game 1.  If the Raptors go up 2-0, we might be witnessing the end of a dynasty. 

Not so fast Og,  ;D, I really think that GSW was very rusty in the first game because of their long rest and layoff. They will be back in game 2, and if ever they lost it, next game will be in their home court so they can at least win and gain some momentum. They're the defending champs and obviously, has face tougher opponents in Cleveland last year so don't count them out yet.

Lol does your cable provider delayed for at least a day of broadcasting?seems that your too far from the actual game lol.Warriors has been beaten by Raptors in game 1 and now we’re looking for game 2 still homecourt of Toronto so another miracle may happen the way,because the third game will be very crucial for raptors as they will be in Golden state playing

Game 2 is in toronto so we will see if the warriors can learn from their mistake they did in the last one.
I cant see warriors accepting to lose two games in a row and they will step up to the challenge. :)

Yes,  they will step up in game 2 and try to steal at least one game so that they will be confident going back to homecourt. I'm pretty sure they have learn a hard lesson from the lost. It's like when they face the pesky LA Clippers in round one.  ;D

Warriors front court really made a difference tonight. Complete turn-around from game 1.

Klay back in the lineup tonight. Can the Raptors put the Warriors in the 1-3 club?

I heard in the news if Im not wrong Durant will not  playing in this championship series so a big advantage to raptors to get win become a champion, Curry can't carry  itself to bring GSW in victory without the help of Durant.

If Durant can’t play the rest of the series, he might done playing for the Warriors.  He will be gone next year as a free agent.

I can see now GSW back in a good defense to TOR.
I think GSW can make it now ,they gonna win against TOR.

Sorry but GSW lose again giving the raptors  comfortable lead 3-1, winning this at home will be a history for the entire franchise, if there's no durant and Klay still have the same injury to hold on, the defending champ is losing the momentum, unless they'll able to win back.

Well... It seems I was right ;D Deserved championship by the Raptors
