I mean, the previous two were actually terrible calls against the Raptors that were reversed on review. That one was a terrible call against the Bucks that can't be. The refs have not covered themselves in glory in the last minute.

I think I love Kawhi more than I've ever loved another basketball player

Clearly a great fourth quarter but VanVleet for me gets the game ball here. Career high in 3s and his shooting kept them in it through 3. Gasol and Siakam were great in the final minutes as well.

Man. Just being one win away from the finals after all of the years of disappointment is a great feeling.

This is crazy. Raps have a chance to finally make the Finals this for the first time. The trade for Kawhi couldn't have been any better.

Van Vleet was bordering on unplayable so this is a pretty shocking turn around. So thanks to that kid for knowing when he needed to come out to get Dad back on track.

huge game for Kawhi...

you expect for him, but it was great to see him take over the fourth quarter.

huge props to FVV and the team for preserving and coming back twice from double digit leads

You’ve obviously forgotten about the Bill Laimbeer era.

Haha, Jesus you guys are going nuts with this stuff at this point. That side stage has been there for years, it's where the drum and DJ's perform for the crowd before, during and after the games. It wasn't set up for Drake to cheer in front of the peons, lol.

Drake is just there because he's a huge fan having fun in his hometown. At a certain point you just have to let it go and understand that celebrities will always be a part of entertainment.

At least we don't have it like LA and New York where 90% of the celebrities give zero ****s about the game in front of them. Drake cheers like a big kid, it's awesome, while you guys are curmudgeonly.

I can't believe we're on win away from the finals, this is incredible. Hopefully they just keep the momentum going at home, because I don't like a game 7 in Milwaukee.

It really is incredible. If they win the series it'll be our equivalent to winning the championship. If every team isn't lining up for a Kawhi offer sheet, they are now.

Whether they do or not I'm already happy with what they've managed to do. Expectations soundly exceeded. Obviously I would like to see them in the finals, though.

You also can't say the Kawhi trade didn't work or wasn't worth it if he leaves, because he's literally taken them further than they've ever been. Every thing now is just a bonus.
