I haven't watched the NBA since Bird,Parrish,McHale and DJ left the Celtics (30+ years ago) but I'm pleased by this news because of my red hot hatred for San Francisco and everything it stands for.

But unlike Webber, Draymond knew they had no timeouts left. He intentionally did it because their last hope was for:

1. The Raptors to miss a free throw.
2. They steal the ball on the inbounds play since the Raptors get possession.
3. The Warriors hit a three to tie the game (assuming the Raptors missed the free throw)

With only 0.9 seconds left, they needed all three to happen, but only got the second.

I hope they do visit the White House but they do have a built in excuse not to since it’s the only Canadian based team. That said both Blue Jay teams that won the World Series visited. As I said on earlier Finals threads the Warriors when they were in Toronto stayed at the St Regis hotel which used to be a former Trump hotel and condo. More victims of the Trump curse.
