**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[SpittaJetLife]

Putting 4gs on a Raptors game five win to get the 2gs I lost back on betting on the warriors.

 

[WASHED KING]

Warrior fans:

“GS in 7, Steph is hurt, the refs are cheating”

 

[numbah1grimey]

And y’all know after they turn 31, small guards like Steph usually decline. Iverson never averaged more than 18 points after he turned 32

This. Washedell’s run is overrrrrrr

 

[atlsfinest]

The Warriors slander it's next level and I'm here for it. I'm loving every moment of this. Cats are letting out 5 years of frustration all at once

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Warriors fans after Kyrie and Kevin love went down: Injuries are a part of basketball.

Warriors fans after KD, Klay, and Looney go down: We would beat every one if we were healthy. This ish ain’t fair. Run it back.

Steph-

 

[lawdog1]

Ibaka getting his mind off cooking animal dicks and remembering how to hoop has been a big development in this series...

He's a shooter, not a primary ball-handler that drives to the hoop to score. He just would need to convert himself to a spot-up shooter.

 

[SpittaJetLife]

A so-called dynasty that couldn’t win more rings than LeGoat. KD sold his soul to have less rings than Lebron can’t make this up. Kiwi about to have as many rings as KD without selling his soul.

I'll take all the hate, I still stand by my Warriors no matter what.

...And he gone be a defensive liability. Might get you 20 points but his man gone get 26

 

[SpittaJetLife]

This so-called warriors dynasty set fades back 10 years. The trash fade brothers are done.

Steph is going to be in the NBA until he's forty if he wants to. Worst case scenario, he turns into a better version of JJ redick. That being said, he'll be a turnstile defensively, he kind of already is

 

[danikerhino]

no one thought that the Warriors are better with our Kevin Durant. I thought they played a more exciting brand of basketball, more ball movement and more individual greatness by the origina big 3. That being said, it was more exciting because they would go down by 15 and make these huge runs when was Kevin Durant they would just cruise to an easy victory.

Taking Durant out takes away their plan B. the plan A is to play beautiful Warriors basketball, but when their shots not falling they can also iso Durant. Having him also switches matchups. I highly doubt that gasol would be playing as much as he is if he had to guard Durant instead of Looney.

Durant is also a versatile defender who can guard multiple positions.

Good point, we have a shorter ceiling w/o Durant. Raptors are genius to pump up their offense since they know this.

 

[SpittaJetLife]

If you would have told me a few years back that Kevin DurGlass would end up with less rings than Lebron after joining the Warriors I would have called you a liar

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

But you cut out where i said “different team, same core.” We’ve seen a core of steph dray and klay in this situation before and pull it off. It wouldn’t exactly be unprecedented

These raptors are not those thunder

Steph is going to be in the NBA until he's forty if he wants to. Worst case scenario, he turns into a better version of Kyle Korver. That being said, he'll be a turnstile defensively, he kind of already is

Which is why the Warriors will have to stay defensive-minded as a team. The organization knows that Curry isn't a stout defender so they always have other players to back him up.

and they don't have home court advantage this time. I don't see the Raptors blowing two home games.

 

[danikerhino]

Yeah, they don't have 3-allstars.

It's highly possible if we can get to game 7. Role players can fold.

 

[ballinsam23]

This Raptors run is really Dirk like.

1 game away from winning a championship and only 1 all star on the team. Crazy.

 

[moe200069]

Any basketball rationale behind this?

If jon snow can go from outcasted bastard to smashin the queen and mother of dragons...anything is possible, including climbing back from a 3-1 deficit

Kyle Lowry is an all-star as well.
