**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[theregothatman]

Curry beat prime Bron b2b and 3 out of 4 yrs and dudes swear he the goat...even Zeke said Bron better than mike..

So...

Curry>>>>>>>>>zeke

Hold up, Hold up, Hold up
Curry beat Bron?
Last I checked Curry gave up a 3-1 lead and KD came in and got 2 finals MVP’s

How different would this story be if KD never joined Golden State?
Last time we seen them without KD they lost the finals.
Imagine KD never comes.
Chances are they beat Golden State again with Kyrie and Lebron. Curry isn’t sitting on 3 titles instead one versus a depleted Cavs team.
Are we still calling Curry better than Zeke?

 

[freeze]

Dms and texts not the same fams.

Not everybody has my phone number to hit my hip. Any baddie can be thirsty in my DM's tho.

You can follow and dm somebody you've never even met. But you at least have to have some interaction to bag the number.

Even if kd doesn't go, doesn't erase 15. Curry beat Bron. Curry beat y'all goat.

Curry played like trash in 15 and 16

You think so? Do the numbers actually support that or we just still running with that tired narrative of curry not showing up?

this. DM =/= texting. there's something impersonal about having a conversation over DM, regardless of the app (IG, snap, FB messenger, etc). the fact that anyone can DM you at any time, whether you're a public or private account, makes the process of DMing seem distant.

i mean, russian sexbots are sliding into my DMs asking me to watch their livestreams...not texting me.


damn it's a slow *** day in basketball when we're splitting hairs over texting vs DMs

Nah he definitely didn’t control those games in 15 or 16

16, I'll give you. Go back and watch the entire 15 series tho. Only struggled gm 2 and the beginning of 3. Let people tell it, delly had him in the straitjacket. He bounced back fine. His averages were great. Got screwed on fmvp.

 

[howdythere]

Lebron didn’t have KD, and Klay. Two of those 4 years he didn’t even have Kyrie. Don’t give me that BS that Curry is better.

what makes isiah thomas better?

I DM my friends instead of texting them if they not on IMessage

steph didn't "show up" in the finals because of the defense he played against. steph curry is the first player in the history of the nba to get trapped on EVERY pick and roll wire to wire from start to finish. no player in the history of the league had ever demanded that kind of defensive attention on pick and rolls. y'all saw dame get the same treatment and what happened to him? iggy won fmvp because he hit open shots that were created from curry's trap. the cavs were basically playing 3 on 4 giving up a WIDE open driving lane to draymond or a WIDE open 3 for iggy or barnes. They lost the following year because iggy and barnes couldn't hit an open 3 to save their lives the entire series.

we always tend to associate a player's greatness with physical dominance and iso scoring ability. mj kobe shaq lebron. steph curry will have trouble scoring on any decent wing defender on an iso. but because of his shooting ability he's a dominant threat on the pick and roll and off the ball. he has revolutionized how the game is played and maybe it's time we change our ways of thinking what makes a player great.

 

[de janeiro]

with that being said it's stupid to compare players from different eras. if steph played in the 80s he wouldve gotten stronger if zeke played today he wouldve worked on his shooting. one thing for sure tho steph is most definitely one of the most dominant and influential players in this era so yall bettter put some respect on that mans name.

 

[pums]

Also Draymond deserves some respeck on his name after all the slander he got. Bro turned it on in the offs.

Double post

dray didnt just turn it on he went on another level. i've always thought dray is overrated and a glorified 6'6" tony allen and i'm a warriors fan been watching him since he got drafted. game 3 against portland was the first time i'm like wow he's a different player now.

He turned it on against a team who’s best big man is penis kanter. Can we stop with the homage...

The bullies beat up the nerds. Nothing about what the warriors did to the blazers is exciting or noteworthy.

I take exception to one of those descriptors. Smh

He has been on one the whole playoffs.

I’m pretty sure some of you guys are throwing names of older players out without any knowledge of their career

 

[Tony $now]

The era’s argument is stupid. In the era that Steph plays in, he’s easily top 5 in his generation.

He didn’t play against the other greats so we have no idea who would dominate.

 

[tekthemaestro]

KD deserved that.

Splitting hairs. You opening an app and sending text. In 2019 these are the same thing.

Anyone care how you set up a date? DM, Snapchat, sms.
Anyone care how you negotiated a price for that item off CL? DM, text, FM, WhatsApp.

All the same.

nah this is flat out wrong lol. especially when talking about a person of celebrity where texting them implies u have a personal connection with them, verses a DM which could be a shot in the dark.

nah that loss goes to barnes. didnt he go like 2/17 on corner 3s in a 3 game span? something crazy like that, and iirc they said like 80% of em were wide open. dude fumbled so hard he got traded lmao
