**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[B Sox]

What Houston really needed to do was figure out how to get Jimmy Butler before the deadline.

Houston's season was over as soon as Chris Paul signed that contract

my guy slide thru the bay, dray is beloved. dude’s from Saginaw, MI but talks like he’s from the town and has shown lots of love to oakland. I cant ever hate on the man

I can’t stand how he acts on the court, but I’ve never heard or seen anything to make me think he’s a bad guy. And he seems to be liked and respected by most NBA players, even outside the Warriors.

And I most definitely respect what he does for his team. Still have my doubts if he would have become an all-star player has his career started in a different situation, but he’s an absolute perfect fit with the Warriors.

Draymond Perk and Evan Turner should be the new Inside crew when they phase this one out

Portland gotta try to get jokic/Millsap in foul trouble early, if not it won't be too long of a series

Houston is a solid team. It's just that CP3 is playing worst than last year and Harden is bearing a heavier load because of that. Capela has been rendered obsolete so far since the Warriors are shutting down that PnR. The Warriors have overcome more adversity this year and they are better for it.

Houston splits at the crib and it’s game over. Warriors in 5. Harden is a perennial choker and Chris Paul ain’t built for this life. Them clowns lost me too much money last year. I was eating fingernails for lunch ****ing with them. Slander in full effect.

Shut ur mouth

His time of dominance is over b. Been over. 2018 was his last hoorah. Can't hold that against him. He went out with a bang. Literally, his nutsack exploded. 2018 was beautiful tho. It was his mangum opus.

The west so tough that a 7 seed took a 2 seed to game 7 that came down to the wire. Stop it.

The Big 3 Celtics went to 7 against the Hawks before winning the chip. This literally means nothing.

 

[Korofi]

Only KD leaving can stop GSW

Another 6'8 swingman that can defend, catch-shoot threes and iso. Perfect fit on the floor.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This is hands down the most blog boy **** I've ever heard . Why are these goobers always trying to reinvent the game or come up with new lingo for stuff that already exists? Hella annoying

The custom 3 point line is some slamball type gimmick foolery. Moving the corner 3 back just makes it harder to help and recover on drives and would encourage more corner 3s. Most NTers can't hit corner 3s or dribble with their left hand. The league is fine how it is. Just get rid of the flopping and let guys play defense

 

[Korofi]

Denver can beat GSW.....

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Denver can beat GSW.....

Yup. That's why the nuggets did everything in their power to avoid matching up with them. Supreme confidence

 

[lawdog1]

Denver can beat GSW.....

Yes, it is theoretically possible. But Nuggs taking 4 out of 7 games from GSW without home court advantage is very, very unlikely.

Custom 3 point line is extreme and should be ignored compared to the bigger ideas he’s pushing

The longer corner 3 will eliminate (at first) many players who aren’t efficient from above the break. Whether or not it would encourage more corner 3’s, I don’t think it should be shorter there which bails out less good shooters

He railed against the rockets and their offensive identity and ethos. It’s ironic you shun him since he’s trying to create more variance. I recall you criticizing the direction the league was going

 

[getback]

Philly probably gonna be lit tomorrow. Any Philly NTers gonna be in attendance?

 

[gaiiige]

Denver can beat GSW.....

5 game series max

 

[freeze]

C’mon man...check this thread when that happened. We alllll thought he was faking when it happened. It didn’t look like anything bad at all til he came out from the locker room.

I still think he faking it. . That ain't nothing but some Hollywood makeup.

'Im blind'

Drops 29 points.

'Gods plan b'

It's not the distance of the corner 3, it's the fact that it's naturally more open because that's where the help has to come from on drives. The numbers bear this out. So yes I think it would encourage more corner 3s because guys would be even more open. Or either there would be more open layups with defenders not leaving the corner man. Above the break 3s are further from the hoop but closer to the defense. Teams jack up 3s from all over and not just the corners. It's just like all the gimmicky playoff fixes. The league goes in waves and it will never be perfect but it will naturally adjust itself

That new James Harden meme tho... tears
