**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[moe200069]

The Harrison twins and Teague lor bro tho

The teams that employed the Harrison brothers would like a word with you immediately

i'll give yall the harrison twins and teague but them dudes were essentially 2nd round picks or undrafted and it's really a crapshoot that late in the draft. i can't think of any other coach/school that has been such a hotbed for PG/SG in recent years. I might be missing a few but any of the following players have been or are still productive in this current era of ball: Wall, Bledsoe, Rondo, Booker, Murray, Fox, and Knight. that's a pretty impressive list for one school

Seth having a better playoffs so far than Wardell


We'll be aight. Star boy back tomorrow.

I just witnessed a homicide on social media
A dude from my hometown that was a star in high school and college and played overseas just made a post on fb talking about mj is not the GOAT because the competition was weak back then... of course there was tons of opinions, then another dude from my hometown chimed in and he just so happened to play on those Chicago bulls championship teams with mj and dude brought that ether.
This is one of the excerpts

What's crazy is you know that mj would fully approve this message. That's exactly how he would want a teammate to respond.

i have a Topps Finest Jason Caffey rookie card buried somewhere in my parent's house. seems like you're only 2 or 3 degrees of separation from him. i'll send it to you to get him to sign it. thanks in advance G!

I never met him in my life he would probably be honored if somebody asked him though.

This is why curry Curry imo.

When kd eats, kd eats.

When curry eats, everybody feasts. The whole team flourishes when curry is the focal point.

Kd plays black hole hero ball. He's one of the best at it, no doubt, but it kills team balance.

steph's gravity is god-like. when he's hummmmin, team is un****widable

Downside of not being on here early.....going through the older posts...


Ray Allen better than curry b?

I hate y'all.

And Ryan harrow

I swear it feels like When Wardell is goin off they win by 15+ And When KD is goin off its a close game. I feel Curry will get out this slump next game for sure

 

[chippedtoothsmile]

We are playing 27 mil a year for both Evan Turner and Mayer Leonard. They can’t even get playing time. I feel bad for Dame

 

[atlsfinest]

Is there any dout that Dame gets the supermax? People in Portland would riot if Dame doesn't get his money.

I agree Embiid is probably eating whatever he wants and keeping whatever curfew he wants but you truly thing this man is partying before a critical Game 4 at home knowing damn well his body can’t handle that (assuming that is what kept him out previously)?

Yes.

He’s cocky enough and good enough that he literally thinks he can eat/drink whatever he wants whenever he wants and still dominate. And most of the time he can. But then there’s times where it actually bites him.

I had to get a hotel 30+ minutes away last night because literally every single hotel in Philly and the surrounding area was sold out for some giant Cinco De Mayo festivities and bar crawl here. Magically, Embiid of all people is sick as **** again the morning after this.

And the other Sixer that struggled, Ben Simmons, is the one other Sixer that’s known to go out like that. I’m not buying this just being a coincidence.

 

[monstar]

Steph is trash in the post season sorry

If he was out at one of the Cinco de Mayo pub parties, wouldn’t there be photos or TMZ/Barstool/Crossing Broad reports? I guess the Philly clubs do have back rooms but IDK. Philly is just a hard city to move in silence in.

How about he goes to a real franchise? The Portland Trailblazers are a complete joke. It shouldn’t be about the Supermax. It should be about the rings that bring you more money anyway.

I hate y'all.

I read someone saying he wouldn't trade prime Curry for prime Kobe. I think I stopped visiting the NBA thread for a few months.

 

[dman14]

embiid's body doesn't even allow him to work out hard, but he really needs to be strict with that diet

Well duh. Prime Kobe > prime Wardell

Y’all are ****ting on Steph but to be clear, if you replace **KD with Steph** in 15/16, them boys aren’t winning the chip, if they eem make it. Klay definitely doesn’t become who he is today. Dray may still be similar.

Steph has replaced Bean as the championship winning superstar NT irrationally hates on. I understand he is playing poorly but it’s intellectually dishonest to act as if his ball movement style of play doesn’t clash with KD’s ball stopping style of play. Ironically, more people eat in the former while KD mostly cleans the table in the latter.

It really is a give and take with them, you just have to go with whatever is working for that night which is a luxury most teams don’t have.

If i replace step for Dame I still win.

 

[Kinfolk]

I really just hope Portland can beat GS and Dame can tell Steph who the real king of Oakland is.

He’d have the waving bye bye to Russ highlight and then the dethroning of Steph and official closure of Oracle.

He’s not as good of a three point shooter (which isn’t a knock because he’s really good but there is like a ~5-6% difference) but he does get to the line more. Probably similar in playmaking. While they both have unlimited range and in theory have the same gravity, do you think in the game the way they are defended represents the same gravity?

Portland got less of a chance against gs than Houston. They might of had a chance with Nurkic but that window closed.

Aminu cannot guard KD

wait, what? Not sure if srs

When shots is the voice of reason and logic as it pertains to the warriors, you know youre way off course
