I hope Thompson is ok. When he landed, that knee didn't look right.

Great game, good reffing (I think GS has benefited from some 50/50 calls falling their way, but it's been pretty good), and just fantastic play from both sides. Don't want anyone to get injured.

...
How the heck did he get back out on the court? I'm kind of shocked.

I CAN'T.

Hopefully it's just another one of those classic NBA Playoff Pooping Emergencies and nothing to worry about.

This third quarter is wow. Back and forth and lots of hard hits and everyone is feeling it. Klay going back to the locker room.

Klay got fouled and even though he got hurt he had to shoot those free throws or else he would of been prevented from coming back into the game. That is why Boogie fouled on the next play to get Klay out and have a look see.

Soren · « **Reply #1230 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:09:23 PM »

Warriors are starting the 4th quarter with Dray, Boogie, Livingston, Q Cook and Jerebko.

Deep breaths.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1231 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:10:33 PM »

Klay is out for the game.

Soren · « **Reply #1232 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:12:22 PM »

I would argue that it was never about the free throws. Once Klay felt he could walk out under his own power he wanted to do it to give the crowd a lift and hopefully spark his team one last time.

It's fairly easy to see he was done for the night.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1233 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:14:03 PM »

No it is an actual rule that you have to shoot the free throws no matter what even if you are injured on the play to have a chance to return.

Soren · « **Reply #1234 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:17:52 PM »

Klay didn't shoot the free throws because he wanted to be eligible to return to the game in the 4th. He shot the free throws because he knew the crowd would lose it once they saw him walk out to the court under his own power.

Tend to agree... although I bet that Klay would have stayed in the game as long as they would let him, injured or not. He's way tougher than people give him credit for.

Seriously hope the guy is ok. Far and away my favorite player from Golden State, and he was absolutely lighting it up tonight.

Soren · « **Reply #1236 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:25:53 PM »

It appear a Warriors assistant went back to the hallway to remind Klay of the rule. So I stand corrected.

I still think given the current scrutiny with the Warriors training staff there was no way Klay was ever going to play. So his return was mostly for the (important) symbolic gesture of seeing him pull a Willis Reed.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1237 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:28:30 PM »

I hope Klay is okay too. I will give the Warriors this. They are banged up and injured but they are still in the game and fighting for their lives.

I do have to say that VanVleet has been amazing off the bench.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1238 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:35:44 PM »

109-108 37.1 seconds left Raptors ball. Probably the best option is to go for a two for 1 play. I say go to Leonard or Lowry.

broodwars · « **Reply #1239 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:46:03 PM »

Well done, Raptors. Congratulations unseating the most OP team in the league, injuries aside.

ejamer · « **Reply #1240 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:46:57 PM »

With .9 seconds left, this is ridiculous. The Raps won, let them enjoy it.

Is there still game going on? NBA.com's play by play called the game over.

Soren · « **Reply #1242 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:49:57 PM »

I knew this moment would happen but I can't believe it sucks so much, specially with the injury to Klay. Congrats to the Raptors on not utterly blowing it.

Also I hope Pusha drops that diss on Drake right now. **** that guy.

They said there was a foul on the inbounds play, put time back on the clock and made them shoot (totally pointless) extra free throws. Refs made a few mistakes both ways, but that was the only call I really think was DUMB.

Until the injury, this game was epic. It was still pretty awesome for Raptors fans, but that really took the shine off. Amazing season for the Raptors though, and they (mostly) peaked at the right time playing great ball against Bucks and Warriors.

Can we change the thread title now? (Oh - it's already done, er, ah, sort of..?

)

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1244 on:** June 13, 2019, 11:53:35 PM »

Basically with the inbounds play from Lowry to Leonard there was a foul by Iggy so the clock didn't start up and then Leonard sank the free throws to go up 4 to make it totally out of reach. Then the Warriors inbounded it time expired and the Raptors won it Broodwars.

It's my final act of defiance. Let me grieve for a night.

Patrick McCaw is the new and improved Norris Cole.

ejamer · « **Reply #1247 on:** June 14, 2019, 12:01:38 AM »

Fantastic play from Iggy and VanVleet tonight.
Thompson was the best player on the floor, and led all scorers despite leaving early.
Leonard wasn't actually great... but Lowry was amazing. Plus/minus is a messy stat... but he was +16 in his 41 minutes and Raptors were -12 in the 7 minutes he sat. What redemption for not getting his shot off last game.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #1248 on:** June 14, 2019, 12:08:13 AM »

I think Lowry started off the game great and it was very 3 point focused and I knew when they got it going from 3 that early they would have a chance to win it. I think Lowry plays to what the team needs which is why he may not score a lot of points in some games because he is focusing on other things like defense, assists, rebounds and taking charges.

Leonard was being swarmed by the Warriors so he had to get his points where he could while passing out of the double teams. VanVleet was amazing off the bench defensively on Curry and in clutch last second shot clock shots.
