**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[bballkid11]

I honestly think people have underestimated/are underestimating how much extra mileage most of the Warriors have on them. Steph, Klay, Draymond, Iggy and Livingston have played the equivalent of more than an extra full season in playoff games over the last 5 years. That takes a toll, both physically and mentally.

I heard Rick Fox on the radio yesterday and he was talking about how the Shaw-Kobe Lakers were just worn out after their 3-peat.

KD is still a wild card in this series, but based on what we know, I just don’t see him coming back and being effective enough to help the Dubs sweep the next 3 games when 2 will be played in Toronto.

100

I personally think he’s the most skilled player of all time on the offensive end.

Put the bottle and K2 down!!!

 

[bballkid11]

I see a lot of “ifs, would’ve’s” etc to try and erase the fact that this team won 3 rings during its run. Y’all sound like the Nick Wright, Skip Bayless types. No one can prevent injuries, you gotta play with who you have available. And the crying about who the W’s signed in FREE AGENCY is ***** made too. The Warriors and the Cavs have ran this era. Those are facts.

I’m glad I got to witness this run because it has been fun to watch. Also has any all time great won a ring by himself with no help for a supporting cast? I’ll wait. See how it turned out for A.I? You need a team to win period. MJ, Lebron, Tim Duncan, Kobe, Shaq, Steph, KD, etc. i can tell the whole “team concept” is foreign to y’all. Fantasy Basketball does not equal real basketball

MJ, LeBron, Duncan, Kobe, Shaq, and KD all have Finals MVPs doe. #stephworse

I penciled the Raptors into the finals at the very start of the season but never did I think they’d be in the driver seat with car in park on the dubs. Kawhi is outrageous

 

[geno90221]

Kawhi and a 34 year old flabby Gasol really about to beat GS...

Damn

 

[ill steelo]

Steve Kerr really is going to get away clean again.... Second time he's lost to a first year head coach who was a replacement, and we all remember what happened when he was replaced by an assistant.

HIM

Two games, still no answer for the box and 1

Death by Lowry pick and roll the entire 2nd half

 

[HIM]

GSW coming back and winning would be hilarious. And it’s still a very real possibility. Cmon Kawhichael. Don’t get complacent

 

[lawdog1]

I didn’t have any of those “system player” concerns when Kawhi left the Spurs, but I did not know that he was THIS good of a scorer. His bucket getting abilities have definitely surprised me during this playoff run.

 

[itshlittt]

he should get braces too while he at it

 

[703 hwy]

Just keep chewing nonchalantly on your mouthpiece Steph. Sums up his whole playoff run this year.

But but but light years

This is only a testament to LeBron's greatness, he went to the finals for eight consecutive seasons, playing 40+ minutes alot of the time and still never looked as washed as the Warriors do right now

The Warriors let the Raptors fans take over their arena after the final home game at Oracle. I can only imagine how empty the Chase Center is going to be when the Warriors are just a mid-tier playoff team next year.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

What’s worse about steph, is that he is just too damn garbage on defense.

Almost everybody’s eyes light up in the league when they get switched with him

[MVP]

That 47 point game is really gonna end up as one of the most inconsequential offensive explosions ever

Talk about empty stats...

Right behind Bron's 51 from last year's finals.

Yeah this is my main issue

Those trips to miami and whatever he took there must’ve helped.

 

[geno90221]

Is Looney a FA this summer?

 

[lawdog1]

You saying He Got Help?

Quote me on this

If Curry and co come back from 3-1

I’ll call him the GOAT for as long as I live
