Chris and Dave return for our latest NBA Finals update podcast. We recap a thrilling, fantastic, dramatic Game 5 in Toronto where the Warriors survive elimination and go from down 3-1 to down 3-2 with the series retruning to Oracle Arena for one last home game. The Warriors cleared Kevin Durant to play Game 5 with his continuing injury and he played very well... until he tore his achilles tendon and left the game, severly threatening his long term prospects in Free Agency. Was playing KD for game 5 a mistake? Later we look at the Raptors side of the game, coming back from a double digit deficit to lead by six with 2:30 remaining in the fourth quarter, only to call a timeout, stop their momentum and blow the six point lead. Did they also blow the strategy for the final possession of the game?
Not only do we look at all the nuances of Game 5, but we look ahead to the rest of the series and offer our predictions of who takes the title between a short-handed Warriors team and a hungry but inexperienced Raptors team. Do the guys predict a Toronto title in Game 6 or a winner-take all Game 7 on Sunday? All this and more on the latest "NBA Report" DITCOW show.
