Raptors' road to the NBA Finals
Спорт
It has been 24 years in the making and it took 100 playoff games, but the Raptors have finally made it to the grandest stage. It's been a rough, emotional and frustrating ride but it has all led to this, a date with the Warriors in the NBA Finals. Relive the ups and downs of their journey here.

2011 mavs went through a good trailblazers team with Brandon roy, then swept the defending back to back champs Kobe and the lakers and retired Phil Jackson, then beat a young okc team with 3 future MVPs on one team, and the big 3 heat with 3 hall of famers... idk if this will beat that but if they beat Golden state, they will be right there under that 2011 mavs

@Steezy Mac - ... Okay, so now you wanna talk about The Warriors being injured, and saying: "Oh, well that's the only reason the Raptors won"? Phff! You just dug your own fuckin grave my guy. Listen, with them getting injured left & right, just proved the point that they are soft as baby shit, and they just can't keep up with the younger talented, & more agile Teams no more. It's almost safe to say that Golden State is at the end of there ropes. Or another way to say it is: they're (Washed up), if not already. Sorry, but it's true. Bruh, they were literally crying over "sore muscles". Like are you fucking serious?! Man, The Raptors have been dealing with injuries too, all fuckin Playoffs! The only difference is, they just played through the pain and didn't go crying about it. They never once revealed to the Media that it was affecting them at all.. They never showed the opposition there weakness! They waited until the very last game of The Championship... IMO, that's the biggest mistake The Warriors made during this Playoffs, they showed the Raptors they were vulnerable and beaten down. You never 'EVER' let your opponent know you're hurt! Man, that's like the golden rule (#1) in all of Sports Combat! So look man, you gotta stop being such a sore fuckin' loser and give respect to the teams that deserve it. Raptors are a Great Team.. Like man, they made it to The Finals and Won! Only The Great teams can do that. Even the Warriors gave props to them. Why can't you. You are a poor excuse of a Sports fan. Too much.

If the raptors win this championship and especially with Leonard leading the way. Not only will Leonard go down as one of the goats but this will be one of the most historic wins in nba history

This series was like a fairy tale coming True. Like exactly the 2016 Cavs Finals story. Congrats Raptors! Raptors made History!!!! The Lone little brother team that was Hungry n took Big Brother down!!! U guys Earned it Defeating GSW Superteam fair n square! Definitely outplayed GSW. I wish Klay n KD a great recovery, injuries are unfortunate and terrible. I wish nothing but the Best for Klay n KD, speedy recovery. Again, Congrats Toronto Raptors! Not playoff round 1,2 winner's, Not Eastern Conference Finals winners. But.... 2019 NBA FINALS WORLD CHAMPIONS! A ring with the Bling!! Way to go!! Canada Enjoy! Especially Toronto! Thank you Raptors! U guy's made Basketball Entertaining and very fun to watch again :)
Being a Celtic fan. I never thought Id root for a different team in the NBA finals until now.. Go own the Champs!!!
I'm so proud of my team. This has been coming since we returned to the post season in 2014. We can go all the way now!
They deserve it, they play through all the odds, the doubts, the discouragements with hustle, effort and teamwork.. Good jod Raptors.. But the challenge is still to come.. Better get ready up..
This is the biggest, greatest, and glorious fans Kawhi Leonard have ever received in his NBA career, i would suggest he remain wt here wt Raptors in our beautiful country where is made king of the team and also cherished and loved by our wonderful fans. Very big congratulations Raptors 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
It's amazing how one player can make a difference. Shout out to Kawhi Leonard.
They will go to the NBA Finals and beat the warriors in game 5. Raptors 4 Life

came back from the parade of Raptors after they won the NBA champion , I cant believe still , been a fan for 20 year , I would see Toronto won NBA champion , If a year ago someone told me Raptors is going to win a champion , I would think it is a joke , we never think that big , but it happen , wow this is really unbelievable , it is really a dream come true .
this still feels like a dream.
For the Raptors to do it in 24 seasons.. nobody would have thought that back in 1995 it would take just 24 years to ascend the NBA mountain, I say just 24 years because comparatively so many teams have been waiting much longer.
Congrats Raptors for winning last night. Make it 2,3 & 4 on the next games. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Raptors, we're proud of you! Good luck!
This is a very good compilation but a bit short, Thanks for sharing!
The raps are thirsty for this moment! The posibility for nba ring as 2019 champ is coming! They can do four straight win.. what a strenght
I'm from Canada and I like the Warriors, but I always cheer for Toronto to do well and really like what Kawhi brings to this team. It's going to be hard for me to pick a side for these finals and right now I have no idea who i'm cheering for but the best that I can hope for is a great series either way!

Kawhi Leonard gave San Antonio Fans goosebumps especially in 2014 .. we all hated to see him go when we r the ones that developed him and his will to win..with his quietness. Now you r witnessing what we had.. and know what dominance is like ..so stay humble and thank r organization for the sweet deal.. it might only be this one.
Raptors are taking it they got serious shot. Home court advantage, championship pedigree top 5 two way player in the KLaw. The best defense in the East. Leonard and Gasol future Hall of Famer.
Making me so emotional to what’s happening to my Toronto Raptors! I remember how I was overwhelmed with joy before game 1 started for the finals! Let’s finish this tomorrow game 5 back home! 24 seasons later and you’re here!!!!
Kawhi literally the greatest raptor ever. It’s beautiful.
If only vince carter would sign and come back to the toronto raptors and he deserves his very first NBA championship and ring. half man, half amazing, air canada, vinsanity and soon to be hall of famer = greatest dunker ever of all time. We'll miss him when he's retired from the league. There will never be another dunker like V.C.

To win two back to back game 7s. Most clutch shot game winning shot to beat sixers with the craziest bounce before it goes in. So epic! Then down 2-0 to the bucks and beats the Greek freak at his prime. Then kawhi being the dynasty killer that he is slayed the dragon of the warriors causing the greatest team the past 5 years to dissemble. Warriors were last place this year and without a doubt the raptors would have made a run of their lives and silence all the critics again to defend their title as they had a even better regular season without kawhi speaks volumes. They got one of the best bench in the nba and best starting five. Too bad we couldn’t see them deliver a second title!!
Vince Carter - 7 seasons w/ the Raptors (Never pass the 2nd round) Chris Bosh - 7 seasons w/ the Raptors (Stuck in the 1st Round) DeMar DeRozan - 9 seasons with the Raptors (brought the Raptors to 2nd Round-ECF but choked and got beat up by bron) Kawhi Leonard - 1 Season with the Raptors (Carry the Raptors to the finals and possibly win the finals with their victory in game 1)
