Toronto Raptors: NBA Champions 2018-2019 Season

This year Toronto Raptors ang nichallenge sa defending champions nga Golden State Warriors. This is the first time the Raptors got into the finals; their first since franchise history. 24 yrs in the making pud ni. The Raptors this time are composed of Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam, Kyle Lowry, Marc Gasol, Danny Green, Fred Van Vleet, Serge Ibaka and others. Head Coach is Nick Nurse. Scotiabank Arena ang ila homecourt. The Raptors got the crown after Game 6 at Oakland Arena. 4-2 ang standing sa series. Saddled by injuries ang Warriors like Kevin Durant (KD) and Klay Thompson (KT). Klay Thompson even had to leave the game late in the 3rd quarter coz he injured his left knee. KD on the other hand left in the 2nd quarter of Game 5 due to his injury also. The Golden State Warriors had been in the NBA finals mn diay for the past five years and they've won 3 of the 5 championships. Incidentally it was the last game to be played at Oakland Arena coz the Warriors are set to move to a new location daw in San Francisco in the new season. So ironically twas the Raptors who celebrated their victory there. Mora sila'g nangabuang oi coz champion na gud sila for the first time. Bragging rights na gud na, aside from the bonus that they're set to receive from the league. Jia you! Kawhi Leonard on the other hand was very emotional coz it was his 2nd NBA Finals MVP trophy. He asked to be traded mn diay from the Spurs and it was the Raptors who took him in along with Danny Green and another player. His fate is even hanging coz one year ra mn diay ang iyahang contract with the Raptors. God bless Kawhi, God bless the Raptors. Let's go Raptors! :)
