**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I still don't get how that shot is considered luck. Like if you're shooting around by yourself just practicing and you hit one shot, then another, then 3 more (real hoopers know ) and then the next one bounces around a bit then drops..is that luck or is that exactly what you've been working on..making shots? If you throw up some bs that you've never practiced, yea that's luck. If the ball kinda slips out your hand but goes in anyway, that's lucky. If Ben Simmons made that shot, yea that's luck. But Kawhi is knockdown and hitting 54% from the field. I don't really consider that lucky just because it was slightly off target but still precise enough to drop

I'm sayin. If Ben Simmons hit it yeah it's luck. That's what Kawhi does.

I honestly don't know what to make of the Bucks so far. This will be their first real challenge this playoff. Giannis has been the better player in the regular season, but Kawhi is having one of those crazy postseason runs.

The bucks have the coaching advantage for sure. We can talk about depth, but the playoffs is essentially an 8 man team. Also, Siakim hasn't been the same since his injury.

I will go with Toronto because they've been in tight situations over and over again in the last few years, Milwaukee never had these growing pains. Not like this at least.

If your a 6ers fan (Buc Em), who cares if it was a lucky shot or not? Like...it went it and your at home with your team looking in. Who gives a ****

 

[B Sox]

Hitting a running halfcourt shot is lucky. Not a damn 18ft fadeaway.

 

[CDFTDOT]

buccs got the better bench

The Bucks have the deepest team in the league

Miami, pre hairline surgery era Bron was crazy.

QU!K is a sore winner if I ever seen one

My thoughts exactly.

 

[freeze]

boy sounding like son from that Giannis commercial. 'I seen all yo games, I know all yo moves!' Smart.

 

[freeze]

of course he missed a free throw. bum ***

 

[QU!K]

My thoughts exactly.

I have zero doubts in my mind that if Sixers won **** would be talked

 

[tay1]

That's all you noticed?

It can definitely be skill and luck at the same time (real hoopers know).

I studied physics, those bounces wasnt a result of that lol he had to put air under since Embiid was in his face contesting. Use could use physics to explain how hard it is for his line drive shots to swish all the time tho

Those line drive jumpers do not age well though. Once you have less lift on your jumper those shots don't drop in the same. MUCH smaller margin for error on a shot with a low arc.

He curved Rihanna for her?!?!?

He taking L’s on and off the court

You can post her IG but she ain’t competing or even in Rihanna’s league.

Yeah what is this dude talking about you gotta be obsessed with Rihanna to pick her over Embiid’s chick.

Trippin. Embiid's girl is bad af.

To be fair though. We should compare the mileage on these two before deciding. I'm going to say the odometer rolled over on one of these.

A physics reference in the NBA playoff thread? Yikes.

When people trying to justify a lucky bounce lol it happened but I’m not letting people disrespect physics like that lol

+750 seems far too unlikely of odds for Toronto to win the title -- when you consider Milwaukee is +150, even though I agree that Milwaukee should be considered the East favorite.

I just don't think they're THAT considerable of a favorite to beat Toronto, which is what those odds suggest.

I don't know how Harden gets more slander than Bron losing to the Warriors.

The Beard and Lou Williams got more wins versus GSW than the "GOAT" and his merrymen (who were considered "no help" until they left him.) in the last few years.

Bron with Klove and Kyrie' mustered only one win in 2017 but Lou with some clippers and no "GOATS" came back from a 30 point lead in Oracle and got TWO games? Wat?

The media made it seem like it was IMPOSSIBLE a MONUMENTAL achievement when he even got that one LOL.

There needs to be a referendum on this Lebron is goat narrative...but of course nobody will speak on it.

lets be honest this is the weakest we have seen the warriors, and dont let rodney hood and george hill trick you into thinking last years cavs team wasnt anything short of

 

[whitemamba27]

kawhi hit the same exact shot in the regular season to win a game, that was anything but luck
