Very happy for the Raptors, though I have to admit they got lucky with the injuries.

Five straight 100+ game seasons and the wheels simply fell off. The dynasty was on it's last legs. Klay Thompson played in 122 PO games and then missed one in these finals and now tore his ACL. Next season West will be much more open as Warriors have lost their Superman's cape for good.

 

But I'm really happy for the Raptors.

There was always a sense among good NBA teams that they would need a break, some type of injury to one of the Warriors main guys for a team to beat them and win the ring. Warriors were always pretty healthy in the playoffs while other contenders struggled. So now, the tables have turned. Great job done by Masai Ujiri who gambled, put it all in and hoped for the best, and finally he gets rewarded. GS is so good, best proof is this series, they fought like hell and showed who scary their team really is when they are healthy. Two devastating injuries really, what are the odds?
