**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

Fraud

Gasol, and more so Lowry, are both trending toward the irreversible washed versions of themselves within the same playoff season.

Marc can still turn this around in the games to come, I think, but both of these players' patented moves and such are sort jumping out to me in slo-mo -- it's disgusting and depressing as an overall basketball fan.

How does Nurse not have Kawhi in the game

He brought him back with 10 mins left. He had played 33 mins at that point, so he would’ve ended at 43, which is more than enough for your best player. The bigger issue is they’re playing 8 guys and only 2 of them haven’t been building homes.

I wanna see Brett Brown get his credit though that's my guy and has gotten the blame for all the struggles of a flawed roster that is still flawed

So he ends at 43. What are you saving him for? His days in LA?

Lol at the Sixers front running. As if the terrible fan base wasn't enough

He made the key adjustment for not playing TJ and Boban. Hes been solid outside of that one moment he put Boban in during game 2

You playing your star all 48 multiple games in a row and want him to defend too?

They’re asking plenty of him as is, you start getting diminishing returns when you run a guy the whole game every time out.

We’re only in round 2 at that

Kawhi gone. So Lowry is basically Westbrook but without the art of persuasion

 

[lamekilla]

Sixers won a game at home. Whatever.

 

[lawdog1]

If Embiid woulda made that shot he would have been “in the zone.” But he didn’t, so he isn’t.

One should not comment on things one does not understand...

That’s just a general statement that has nothing to do with your post above.

It was a must win game tho. The way the game was going it was pretty clear it would get away from them as soon as Kawhi sat. Like he said, what are you saving him for? It's do or die

Ehhh not worried about this

Do get a free lunch tomorrow from this result though.

Sixers have all the momentum going into game 4 on Sunday at home with a chance to go up 3-1

You should be worried

 

[antidope]

Not every game 3 is a pivotal must win.
