**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[moe200069]

KD boutta **** around and drop a quadruple double just to show up anyone who questioned his desire to play

#warriorsin7

 

[noblekane]

Gonna suck for him personally and basketball generally if KD plays in game 5, makes his injury worse and the Dubs still lose...

Hope he really is good to play.

funny thing about it is you hatin on the warriors and want them to lose

if that happens koala staying and the clippers bout to sign kcp and trade for cp3 back

karma a ***** b

 

[lawdog1]

Still 50/50 at best and I would be pleasantly surprised if it happened, but live look if KD can go G5 tomorrow night...

Spoiler: GOT Spoiler

Then He gonna get the Arya Stark treatment from someone on the Raps

 

[Webster21]

He makes the right play without being a sucka like Bron was and passing up the big time shots and game winners to pass to the open udonis haslem. Kawhi makes the right play and still keeps the big nuts when his team needs him.

And yet LBJ has the record for most buzzer beaters in NBA playoff history...

 

[champcruthik]

Let's make a pact, lawdog1 . Dubs rally back from the 3-1 deficit with KD suiting up and your Clips land Kawhi in the offseason.

Wouldnt bringing in KD, who hasn't played basketball in a month make warriors defense worse?

Nah, kd could be out there with half a leg and toronto would have to stick a guy on him. That's more than you can say about half the dudes they runnin with at the moment

 

[moonman818]

I still don’t think he plays.

 

[QU!K]

This is my big issue with the KD injury thing: if he wasn't cleared to even practice until today, wnlhy not just come out and say it? Why put KD, Kerr and the other players in the position to field all these awkward questions? People were legit questioning KDs desire to play.

GSW probably wanted to play mind games with Raptors

Also maybe KD told them to not disclose the extent of his injury to avoid messing up his bag

 

[blastercombo]

yall remember when yall said the warriors could win without kd?

yall still believe that?

or yall seen the light yet?
this goes for yall who said the warriors didnt need kd to beat bron too
what say yall?

They can. KD took their bench

 

[QU!K]

Toronto beat GSW with KD by 20 with no Kawhi in the regular season.

KD also dropped 50 another game and GSW still lost

 

[blastercombo]

If he plays Monday I’ll be surprised if he can jump

Didn’t even say full contact. Dude is just now able to be in the building on the floor during practice time “OMG now he will save them!”

 

[ahat]

Toronto beat GSW with KD by 20 with no Kawhi in the regular season.

B-b-but Dubs in 7!

Curry didn't play.

it's 2019 and yall still believe regular season games give some sort of indication of what happens in the finals?

 

[wavycrocket]

1/3 P&R time

 

[QU!K]

Curry didn't play.

Actually he did

KD back?

 

[QU!K]

So of the 6 times gsw played Toronto this year GSW won once (game 2) which was a close game.

Of the 16 qtr of basketball in this years playoffs y’all have won 3?

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

Kawhi so far hasnt needed to lock anyone down personally. With KD back he can do what he did to Giannis all over again

Locking down Giannis was a team effort
