Congratulations Toronto. Can't say anything else. Was a hard fought series.

That was a good to great look for Steph, too.

Wish the teams were at full strength as you hate to see injuries dictate any series, but the Warriors showed incredible heart and championship mentality, wouldn't go down without a fight.

Congrats to the Raptors, Toronto, and Canada. Incredible season for them.

How can you not put an asterisk there? No KD and injured up the ass.
Asterisk is stupid. Injuries happen, and Warriors have had their share of luck when it comes to opposition getting injured as well.

They were the better team in the series even when Klay was there.

Credit to both teams. Well deserved championship for Toronto, and well done to the Warriors for putting up a fight given the circumstances.

Asterisk is there because a fully Strength warriors team wins this series. If Klay plays the 4th they win the series. Toronto credit to then did there park but this championship has an asterisk on it and everyone’s knows it.

Not that Toronto cares and rightfully so.

I guess when Pelicans win stuff with Zion it will also have an asterisk over it because KNICKS DESERVED HIM.

NBA is getting decided by injuries too often. Year after year it plays a huge part. The players play too many games

That's bull. I keep saying it but it's not the Raptors fault people keep getting injured. It was a hard fought series. You gotta take it on the chin.

Congratulations to Toronto!

Both Gasol brothers are NBA champions!

Is Lowry the MVP?

That’s not what I said at all buddy.

Warriors at full strength win this serious I don’t know what’s hard to understand about that. Unless you just choose to ignore that FACT.

You are making stupid assumptions again. Maybe they win with Klay out there, maybe they don’t. The game was close all the way.

And then the dumb ‘everyone knows it’ because it’s your opinion and everyone has to share it. It doesn’t have an asterisk over it more than Warriors 2015 title or their 2017 win over Spurs. These things happen, nobody will ever win a championship without major players getting injured during season anyway.

That's the sad part because Toronto have been the better team.

You should read up what a fact is to be honest. Saying something would have happened if something else happened is as far from ‘fact’ as it can be.

Stupid assumptions to say that with KD and Klay they win? That’s a first.

Having arguably the best player in the world on your team fully healthy dropping 40 is as close to fact as it gets.

So basically the only championship without an asterisk is last year.

2015 obviously has asterisk over it because of Kyrie and Love.

2016 because Green technical.

2017 because Kawhi in WCF.

:lol:

Good to see the silicon valley wankers silenced - but part of me was hoping to see Drake cry
