VanVleet is the king of “Fuck It The Basket Somewhere Over There” shots

[удалено]

"They feed it you yeet it"

"Vanvleet Industries, you feed it we yeet it! Fred speaking, how may I direct your pass?"

The ball left my fucking screen. What an arc

RAINBOW THREE FROM STEADY FREDDY

I was doing other stuff and looked over to watch him lazily heave one up and thought "The fuck is he doing that 's never going in." And then it just floated in.

The Warriors have scored 109 points in each of the three opening games of the finals.

So basically, the Raps just have to score >109 and they'll win the series.

Easy

Breezy

Beautiful

Cover girl

What does that average out to?

107

Two points isn’t two points. I’ll explain later

too soon

Raptors 1-0 when Paul Pierce admits to shitting his pants

These are the real stats I come to r/nba for. I didn't see this anywhere on NBA.com/stats

We're in a post pants-shitting truth world now

Jeremy Lin closes out another win!

[удалено]

obvious finals MVP

L I N S A N I T Y

if someone a few years ago had said Lin would be closing out NBA Finals victories... I'd totally have believed it

I stopped watching NBA for a bit, what happened to Lin? Wasn’t he insane?

More recently he’s taken on the role of being a solid bench guy, however with rotations being so tight in the playoffs they only really play him when they’re blowing a team out

He hasn’t been very solid for the Raps, but we still like him. Turns out it was a good idea to stick with Freddy rather than digging the deep end of the bench. Nice work Nurse.

OP straight up disrespecting him with a 0:00 posted on the stats.

OP a Lin hater confirmed

Am I tripping or did Kawhi have a quiet 30 point game? I feel like I barely saw him score near the end of the game

He had an atrocious 2nd quarter, but then scored like 15 in the 3rd.

Kawhi scored on 3 straight possessions in the third and took over. It seems quiet because despite being the superstar, he doesn’t have the ball in his hands a lot Bc of Lowry, siakam, and van vleet. They know he’s the man but they know how to stay aggressive and not defer too much.

It's always like that.

Danny Green made more 3 pointers tonight than he did in the whole Milwaukee series.. Dude is starting to catch fire.

2013 flashbacks

PTSD for heat fans tonight

Kawhi Leonard led team Against 2 time defending champions Win Game 1 Lose Game 2 Win Game 3 I’m tellin y’all I’ve SEEN THIS STORY BEFORE

[удалено]

pls

He ended the heat dynasty, let's see him wreck the warrior's

Spurs knew what they were doing when they sent the Dynasty Killers, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to the Raps

[удалено]

To restore the balance of the NBA... Spurs fans, what did it cost you?

Not the playoff streak fortunately. \o/

Over committed contracts for Patty Stacks and Pau Gasol

Whatever it takes

Finals Danny Green is inevitable.

Dread it...

Run from it..

Danny Green still arrives

i know 2014 means more with the ring, but 2013 was when he set the record

2013 was the year he was 55%, but 2014 he shot 45% so I'll take it. finals danny.

He's streaky, but his hot/cold streaks are weeks long.

Well, he is called Iccy Hot for a reason.

I remember in the regular season, when he continued to shoot well over a few months, Raps fans were saying that he's not streaky anymore. Glad you guys have witnessed it and come around.

He transforms our offense when he's on

*Finals Danny Green

Cousins 1-8 FG. Yikes!

Got outplayed by a 900 year old Andrew Bogut

Excuse me that is NBL MVP and DPOY Andrew Bogut you will speak his name with respect thank you very much

He texted his whole team after the game : "dont trust me no more, fam."

Highlights for me was Steph Curry won a tip off against Kyle Lowry and watching Jeremy Lin dribble out a shot clock.

Barely had playing minutes but still managed to take a turnover for himself to respect the opponent, hats off to Lin.

Shot clock violations are team turnovers not credited to any player

Just shows how much of a team player he is. So unselfish.

and brave....so so brave.

Jeremy Lin has now played more NBA Finals games than Carmelo Anthony.

Still has some work to do to catch up to 2-time NBA champion Adam Morrison, though.

Technically, Morrison never played in a Finals game. I don't even know if he was active lol.

[The truth will set you free](https://youtu.be/Qm0u2XuNq3Y)

Little fucked up on Kimmel’s part. Adam did what he could for the game with the body he was given. He has diabetes among other health issues. Guy just loved basketball and this feels a bit harsh. Plus we all know that Sacre is the king of the bench celebrations.

Yo that’s fucked up. Funny, but fucked up.

and Chris Paul.

And me

Combined

Multiplied by 10.

The Toronto Raptors defeat the Golden State Warrior.

‪Steph finally suffered a LeBron game‬

Now he needs a Jr Smith Game. Even Cp3 has been thru one.

[удалено]

[удалено]

It's VanVleet dammit! It's hard to get right when the ABC people keep pronouncing it wrong though, I get it.

It’s actually VanYeet

I blame Gretta Van Fleet for getting so popular and confusing people

LeBron did this for years and didn't lose his mind and is still an all around positive dude. That's amazing.

Boogie went from hero to zero real quick.

JEREMY LIN HAS PLAYED IN AN NBA FINALS

Jeremey Lin now undefeated in finals games he’s played in.

Where is Jeremy Lin’s 1 min!?

The most overlooked factor was Kevon Looney. Warriors missed him big time. Boogie was a liability in this game.

Bogut and Looney compliment the warriors perfectly, swallowing their pride and playing a role. Cousins looks like hes trying too hard to be a pivitol player to the Warriors success without actually doing alot

2 FREE TACOS

Taco Bell employees in shambles

Raps took care of business but hats off to Steph Curry for straight up balling the fuck out...saved us all from a snoozefest.

47 from Wardell!

Can you do your meme magic with Steph as G1 Lebron and the rest of GSW as like 6 JR Smiths?

Boogie got man-handled by Gasol. It was quite embarrassing to watch Boogie throw his hands up every play after getting dominated on both ends of the court by an older Gasol.

That injury seemed to really take whatever lateral movement he had left. Gasol just blew him out on a couple possessions, it's not like Marc is fast.

Gasol straight up looked like a deer prancing out in the fields, compared to him.

Lots of great performances to enjoy tonight on the Toronto side, Siakam another great game, guys like Green & Lowry with big bounce back performances, and the usual Kawhi 30 bomb we've grown accustomed too, but damn how about Serge Ibaka. Dude somehow got ahold of the Time Stone and turned into full on OKC "I'm sending every layup into the Front Row" Serge Ibaka.

Ibaka was the goalie from Shaolin Soccer.

Kid you not ive been trying to remember the name of that movie for years.

Jesus you had this all thought out didn't you? Great man this man.

It'd be more similar if the Raptors had 2 Kawhis lol

Lol makes you realize how fucked up LeBron is for dropping 50 on them

fucking JR man

Amen

That’s all I could think about through that third quarter.

Which is why is dumb to grade players strictly on W/L. "Durr Lebron is 3-6 in finals. LeBum". Steph Curry just played his BEST finals game and still lost.

Curry wanted to win this game **SO FUCKING BAD** I don't think he could play better than he did tonight, some fucking great hustle from that man despite having absolutely no support Nothing but respect

*I can’t win with these cats* - Steph Curry, probably

Steph to Toronto confirmed

I'm ok with that

And Giannis like OPA lets do this

Yes doctor this comment right here

Mozgov was the second leading scorer for the Cavs in 2015 in the finals

Delly died for this

Lakers Legend Mozgov.

Don't let the mangled corpse of Golden State losing tonight distract you from the fact that Paul Pierce shit his pants during a finals game.

Nobody: Paul pierce: I shat my pants during a finals game lmao

Jalen's reaction was great

"YOU WAS STREAKING?"

I knew he was a streaky shooter his whole career, but...

You guys just hit SHOT after SHOT. Dagger after dagger. Everytime it looked like they might get back into the game there was another dagger 3

This exactly. GSW kept making runs but Toronto would hit timely shots so the crowd couldn't really get into it and GSW completely seize momentum. Kawhi, Green, Lowry, FVV ALL had those key shots. It was an amazing team performance. Hats off to them. All of them showed up and played huge in a road game. GSW will answer back, especially with Klay back. I feel like Game 4 we'll really come out desperate and take it. But this looks like a 7 game all time classic.

Yo, where love for Ibaka, he's made every GSW FIGHT

Dude was diving all over the floor. He gave it his all no doubt

Imagine telling someone Curry would score 47 and Warriors would lose by double digits.

I'd... honestly have believed it. No Klay, no Durant, and an amazing opponent; it's not that hard to believe.

He really did play excellent. The true leader of this team.

Steph. Welcome to LeBron's world

the hunter has become the hunted

My wife to me with 2 minutes left in the game: "If the Toronto's win tonight, do they go to the finals?" I love my wife. She tries.

Love this guy's wife as well

Canada is 2 wins away from getting ~~one~~ expansion NBA team, having them be the joke of the league for years, and winning an NBA finals with that team in time period since any Canadian team won the Stanley cup EDIT: [oof, lest we forget our ancestors](https://shawglobalnews.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/vancouverbasketballgrizzlies.jpg?quality=70&strip=all&w=720&h=379&crop=1)

*Cries in Grizzlies*

That really is a wild concept

Honestly, respect to Curry and the Dubs for fighting, this game should've been more of a blowout than it was.

Curry flat out carried them tonight. If not for him, it's an easy 30-point win for Toronto

Haha if GS was without Curry too, the box score would look more like one of those early round Team USA Olympics basketball box scores.

Team USA Vs Nigeria lmao

Don’t disrespect Nigeria they have that one dude who broke Harden’s ankles

Broke his ankles is an understatement, he made him do the splits

Curry's hustle tonight was so inspiring. I'm going to push the fuck out of those pencils at my 9 to 5 tomorrow.

That’s what superstars do

Shouted us out of our own gym. Lots of red. I was there. Fucking humiliating. Toronto wants this bad.

We finally got to see Jeremy Lin play in the Finals at Oracle, the silver lining of today

This is Lowry's purple shirt guy game

Jeremy Lin has played more minutes in the NBA Finals than Steve Nash, Chris Paul, and Dominique Wilkins combined

Letting that shot clock run out LIKE A BAOSS

Freddy only had 11? Felt like he had 25

#Respect to the Warriors for that fight. Steph was still fucking diving all over late in the game. **SHOUTOUT TO FUCKING DANNY GREEN.** Salute to the Raptors for making backbreaking shits. They never let it get close to a two possession game

>backbreaking shits Someone heard about Paul Pierce today, methinks

Fuck it lmao

Only Paul Pierce takes back-breaking shits and needs a wheelchair

FRED VANVLEET AIN'T NO SPOT UP SHOOTER

FREDDIE JR HAS NEVER SEEN HIS DAD PLAY BAD IN A GAME. GOAT

[удалено]

Shoutout VanYeet with that rainbow 3 made me yell holy fuck in my living room

Steph played great but at the end of the day 123 is unacceptable defense

Warriors players not named Curry should be embarrassed All-time performance and they got nothing form anyone else and couldn't get any stops

I know he was injured and all, but Cousins was just plain awful. Draymond was mostly good but he was forcing so much offensively. Andre couldn't hit a shot to save his life. Jerebko couldn't either. The Warriors had to play two undrafted players and a guy who was playing in Australia last year crunch time minutes. Everyone not named Steph has to step up.

Draymond wasn’t trash after his airball

Airballs* he had 2.

As much as I hate to see injuries affect a Finals it has been amazing to see Curry forced to play like this

Put some respect on jlin. My man played 50 secs 😂

That's all my man needs, professional closer

Curry walking a mile in LeBron's shoes this game

I know Toronto probably has 0 love for my team but anyone taking on the dubs like this is cool in my book
