Well, what an NBA season it has been and now all come’s down two teams with Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors playing each other in the NBA finals. So let’s start with the champs Golden State they have quite a speculator this season especially in the playoffs with the warriors showing who is boss without there two stars in Kevin Durant and Demarcus Cousins. Step Curry has got back to 2016 form with an unbelievable 3 point shooting percentage with him shooting at .438 per cent. In the Warriors, last game Curry had 37 points, 11 assists and 13 rebounds against trailblazers who they swept. Also, Klay Thompson is also back to his 2016 form with a 3 point percentage of .300 and had 17 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in their win in game 4. Moreover, the Warriors have shown their dominance throughout the playoffs and were not really challenge and this show in the western conference finals. Furthermore, the Warriors are coming off a 10-day break which is helpful as they will give them rest to perform at their best in the finals.
Now lets onto the Raptors. As yes all you Canadians out there is finally a team from Canada in the NBA finals it has taken 25 years. So the Raptors have played amazing and have been lucky especially in game 7 of their eastern conference semi-final against the 76ers which saw one the best shots in NBA history by one of the best players in Khawi Leonard which the link is down below if need to recap your memory . In addition to this with some help by music star Drake, the Raptors went onto win against the bucks in game 6 of eastern conference finals where the main player Khawi Leonard step up with 27 points, 7 assists and 17 rebounds. Moreover, the rise of Fred Vanvleet who has hit some clutch 3’s and had 14 points in game 6 helped make the Raptors win the series. Furthermore, the Raptors will be up against it as only have a 5 day turn around towards the start of the finals which make it tricky. Overall it will be a great series and will be tighter then what many people will predict. I predict Warriors to champions in 6 games but don’t discount the raptors.
