Who saw this rapid heel turn coming? We went from everyones scrappy darlings to most hated fanbase in the blink of an eye

Yup, just look at the thread right on here that was started about it. Folks couldn't wait to get their "Trash Fanbase/F Toronto/F Canada" comments in, yet the same ones who probably use the deadrose smiley all the time.

I'm not excusing it at all, was the same reaction at the bar I was at and it was mainly brehs/brehettes in there, so it wasn't limited to just the whites. Only a few of us were shaking our heads saying that ain't cool, but no one cared. They just saw championship when KD went down and that took over.

At this point just want to win in 6 and get it over with. Don't want another G7 here. But if we're the heels now, gotta own it.

People went wild at the bar I was at too. Black, white etc It is what it is, it was mob mania with everyone wanting to celebrate the first championship by any means possible.

Gotta own it and kill the excuses. It wasnt just the people inside Jurassic Park brehs were going even harder. Embrace the hate Boston style

Raps could not have handled that possession any worse.

They had 15 seconds to draw something up. No timeout even though they had one. It wasnt even after a live ball turnover so that explanation doesnt work. They didnt get into the offense fast enough. You dont hold for the last shot when youre DOWN in the fukking game, you go as fast as you can. GS even had a foul to give which they didnt even use, which is yet another reason Toronto shouldve gone as quick as they could have. There was nothing even drawn up. As soon as they doubled Kawhi they should have called time and drawn up a play. Didnt even get a fukking shot off.

Theyre still in great position to win 1 game of the last 2, but they better hope to God this shyt doesnt go down as one of the worst end of game blunders in history. It definitely will if they somehow blow the series.

I’ll take it back further like I said this morning the last 3 minutes of the game is what pissed me off and I don’t even have dog in the fight. How the HELL you don’t go threw the check down in your offense. Like okay “ the claw has been on fire so has ibaka but they going to double him(kawhi) so lets get Siakam and vanfleet and Ibaka to their best spot on the court. I need and want to run the best plays for ibaka Siakam and vanfleet” Kyle Lowry has to be a better quarterback inside 3 minutes. If all else fails then go back to kawhi. He has to think like that and slow the game down. That last three minutes was some sloppy shyt almost unwatchable. All that and they only lost by 1 raptors are a weird team I think(?) they was the only team in the NBA this year that won MORE on the road than at home...they will be fine.

I don’t think kawhi will have slow start ....
Siakam won’t get off to a slow start
Splash brothers want hit 20/25 3 pointers again

Raptors are in a good position. Just run threw your check points on offense

Every warriors hater watching on TV got excited when kd got injured. They just weren't on the spotlight like Jurassic park or the inside of the stadium was.

Anyone else find all this fake outrage from the anti-Canada brigade hilarious?

Wah, wah! They heckled Curry’s mom.

Wah! Wah! They cheered KD’s injury

Wah! Wah! Drake is gettin too much attention

i did the tiger woods fist bump when he went down but it was due to praise cuz kd was killing us. It was more of KD is out we have a chance today to wrap this ish up not a yes KD tore his achilles this b*tch ass nikka .

 

[LordLyons]

I think the entire country was shell shocked by that. They had 15 seconds and couldn't even get a clean shot off No timeout though we were down 1

Nick Nurse reverted to the UK Beer League coach in the 4th.

thats what pressure does to humans

Crazy to see guys like Ben McLemore on that list of mini camp invites for summer league. Just goes to show you gotta be super talented and consistent to stick in the league, every year there’s more and more guys coming out of college and Europe to take a spot.

That's what Kellerman was saying yesterday. The initial reaction from fans was almost relief in a sense that the PLAYER (who was killing us at the time) would no longer play, so it helped our chances of winning the game. The fans disassociated the player from the HUMAN, but after the reality sunk in, they actually felt bad for KD fukking up his achilles.

Fans don't go to NBA games to watch humans, they go to watch players play, and they sometimes forget that the players are human.
