**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

A lucky shot would be if it bounced off the top of the shot clock or if he wasn't even looking at the rim or something

How often do shots that are short from the corner end up going in? Yes, short shots can go in, most cases glass is involved if it bounces up. It never hit glass even then

Never going to stop believing in Kyle Lowry.

He could 0 for his next 400 and I still want him on my team.

You should, he is nothing but a fat CP3 at this point in his career

 

[amitt5504]

Not this lucky shot **** today guys please

It was. He made it. Sixers aint playing again til October

 

[alchemist iq]

He posted a emoji a couple pages back

Hasn’t changed his avy yet, the faith is still there.

A game 7 buzzer beater.... bounce or no bounce. It went in.....

Man Embiid had that 5 year old cry face.

He has some LOW points. I STILL don't understand what happened game 6 against San Antonio.

But what great doesn't have low moments on huge stages? That doesn't mean they are a choker, it literally could just be a bad game, or a bad series. They are great enough to warrant that benefit of the doubt.

Can Harden do this if he's a choker?













I obviously could go on but this is point. The moments where he "Chokes" are significantly outnumbered by playoff moments where he hoops. So how do you choose the small moments where he isn't at his best, then use that to override the vast amount of times that he's come through? That part doesn't make sense to me.

Best response thus far.

I believe calling him a choker is just a better/more interesting story than simply saying he had a bunch of bad playoff games.

Again, great articulation with evidence.

 

[shotsrangout]

Playoffs have been amazing without him too. Didn’t miss him at all.

Playoffs been *** butter. Y’all playing yourselves. These conference finals are gonna be either sweeps or gentlemen sweeps. What a waste of time.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Righteously, there’s not enough Chris Paul slander going around.

@sea manup Isn't around to lead the charge.

But honestly, CP3 isn't important enough to spend dozens AND DOZENS of posts on him anymore.

I been clowning Lowry for years but he was all heart last night. In that game nobody shot good but he played with none stop effort.

You're just proving why it takes perfect technique to get that kind of bounce

Props to Lowry. Plays with heart, sets screens, takes charges, boxes out, dives on the floor, hustles his *** off. Never seen harden do any of those things

 

[buc em]

Any word on buc em ?

I’m glad I was drunk as **** and at the DaBaby concert immediately following it. But then I was stuck wearing my Embiid jersey out the rest of the night after taking the L

@mikedalton where were you standing in the crowd?

 

[storm2006]

HOW.

Just meaningless

He tweets like his followers don’t have phones but rather have devices that only have Twitter and only allow them to follow Magic.

 

[ballinsam23]

It was. One bounce and no issue. It was short and bounced around.

Shooters touch. Lots of shots on that rim had a soft bounce throughout the game.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Kawhi vs Giannis is gonna bring the

I originally had Toronto in 7, but after watching TO other players the last game idk man

Shut up mo.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

@ me or shut the **** up. ***** *** *****

 

[B Sox]

There isn't a damn thing lucky about Kawhi's shot, just like there wasn't anything about Dame's. These guys are in the top 3% of NBA players and make similar shots on a consistent basis.

 

[ballinsam23]

I'm more curious about this Siakam Middleton matchup.

Kawhi can win a game, but Raptors on the verge of getting washed if they dont slow the game down.

Lowry was killin on the offensive boards which is embarrassing for the kind of size Philly has

 

[amitt5504]

Blah blah blah lol it was a great game. Will never watch the highlights of it ever again but a great game nonetheless

Okay so harden isn't a choker..... he's just an extremely inefficient iso scorer come playoff time, when his team needs him the most he plays well below his mean, and has a tendency of having bad playoff games.

 

[flaminhotcheeto]

Marc Gasoline with the sportsmanship/mentoring/picking someone up with Embid after the shot went in

 

[MajinZuub]

Raptors supporting cast has shown me absolutely nothing to make me believe in them against the Bucks.
When's the last time Gasol took 10 shots in a game?
Also, what's the deal with Jeremy Lin? Is he hurt or just out the rotation? They could use a playmaker/pick and roll guy off the bench, granted I haven't watched him play in over a year so I have no clue if he's still the same player he was.

 

[sohi 23]

Siakam was scared ****less last night
