Raptors are winning because of Free Throws/3s/Defense

[StrongLurk]

They aren't as spammy as the Rockets, but the Raptors are definitely winning due to these three things (of course no KD is the biggest thing).

In fact, Raptors have the highest free throw percentage of any team EVER in the finals through the first 4 games (90.3%).

Warriors are simply losing the free throw/3-point battle and not as consistent on D.

That's exactly what I've been saying

3s are huge, and their entire rotation is hitting them

Here's what I posted earlier

Outside of Klay and Curry, Warriors 3s this series:

Game 1: 5 for 16
Game 2: 6 for 18 (win)
Game 3: 6 for 22
Game 4: 0 for 8

Keep in mind a lot of those were wide open 3s!!

wait up made more 3s better, FT % and better defense = winning? :eek:

:roll: what a ****ing stupid thread.

[nashwade]

i'm sure the raptors opponents are scoring less that's why they are winning

[Brujesino]

:eek: The formula to winning

[LAmbruh]

it may look like he averaged a triple double, but I infact did the math and have proof he did NOT average what ppl call a triple double

to get that, you need to at minimum average 10/10/10 per night

sure 20/20/20- may sound good but when you put contest together and put all that good stuff into more context, we all know he didn't actual average that box score per night

median average loft at best, ghet tyrone hill some halp

This just in, the raptors scored more points and stopped the warriors from scoring... winning formula apparently:lol

[LAVAR BALL]

This is a Magic Johnson type thread.

[tpols]

They're winning with defense and hot, timely 3pt shooting.

If you look at their top 7, there's no holes...all elite defenders even ibaka off the bench.

While cousins is a huuuge hole. Quinn cook and McKinney at times too.

[StrongLurk]

Do you guys really not understand?

We have a horde of posters on ISH who think the 80s/90s are superior to now and are all like "but muh midrange!"

These finals are a great example of why midrange and post play aren't as featured anymore.

[talkingconch]

there winning because a top 2 player in the nba isn't playing, they're riding the confidence into the next games.

[red1]

OP you're wrong the raptors are winning because they scored more points than the warriors

[SouBeachTalents]

Lmao, OP makes some of THE most obvious threads :lol

[Uncle Drew]

Can we get an analysis on game 5 please?
