**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[spacedoodoo]

Even if he plays, the raptors have the liberty of putting a player with the defensive abilities of Kawhi on an injured KD.

When was the last time KD faced someone that could legitimately guard him in a playoff series?

Whole lot of conjecture going on in here

And innuendo. Can't expect anything less from libs.

2012 Finals w/Bron and he still dropped 30 on 50% shooting.

Jay Williams on First Take said he will be SHOCKED if Durant doesn't play tonight

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I hated that dude Mason for YEARS

B-B-B-B-B-B Bullips in the pick and roll again

ESPN classic?

I knew this was coming

 

[moe200069]

How confident are you..? Talk is cheap

How much you put on tonite’s game?

 

[lamekilla]

I got KD putting up 25+ tonight. Steph and Klay will combine for 60.

Dubs win by 8+

Heart snatched out of the Raptors going back to Oracle.

 

[Nipsey3000]

The ice pack is literally on his calf in the picture

The ice is below his calf imo

Kawhi/Siakam on an injured KD

Danny green, vanvleet and lowry rotations on steph and a hobbled klay

yea my money is on the raptors tonight.

 

[ahat]

I'm compiling a list for post game

doodoo opinion

 

[spacedoodoo]

Even if KD gives you 27 , with Steph and Klay combining for 60.. what cousins is giving you maybe 10? Iggy and draymond? the bench?

That's not enough scoring to beat the raptors at home.

This is what I thought too. Have to remember everyone's anatomy is different. Some folks' calves insert lower on their legs. For slender people like KD, it almost certainly attached higher up.

We'll see....

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Call me crazy but KD at say 70% is better than Salva Medvadenko.

I don't think the offensive side of the ball is the issue for GS, they can't defend Toronto at all. They've been getting great looks all series from the perimeter, getting whatever they want at the rim and Kyle has picked them apart in the pick and roll. KD coming back in whatever state he's in doesn't address all that. He'll help offensively for sure, and if he does play I'll adjust my predicted margin of victory from dbl-digits to single digits but that's about it.

Good luck G. I’ll just keep talkin my ****

i remember the lakers went out like that vs the mavs. not the finals, but that pretty much put an end to kb's second dynasty.
if i recall, mavs were raining down 3s and bynum body checked jj barea in the air

This is the beauty of being a Laker fan. You've witnessed damn near every possible basketball scenario play out over the years . All 14 million 6 hundred and 5. You've seen young flashy teams pursue regular season glory. You've seen dynasties manifest and crumble. You've seen teams reload, rebound, reset..from super teams to Knicks-esque squads get shellacked every nite and everything in between.

It ends tonite
