**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

GS not losing this round but next round will be a problem

 

[QU!K]

Golden St may pull a 2004 Lakers.

You love to see it

Kevin Durant is making me start to feel bad for him with how unhappy he is.

Playing with selfish Steve Curry is taking a toll on him.

 

[P C H]

From a pure basketball perspective, Steve Kerr is letting KD get "locked up"

Every time KD gets the ball, he's got pat all up in him, and Iggy's guy or dray's guy is shadowing or doubling. Basically KD can't do **** and that looks like it's taken his spirit so to speak.

And really, other than Steph it's been Looney, Cook, Draymond, killing the Clips which is what you want. But that kind of shows you how much of a talent gap there is when the dubs can get up 31 pts w/only steph of their big 3 really getting off.

ROCKETS IN 6

To add to all this Thompson himself said GS fans are trash and then made a PC apology. Really nothing good to say about GS at all

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Dray mom calling KD mentally weak

 

[Air Pope]

Green family really trying to run KD out of town.

After recruiting him

Crazy world we living in

Possible but rockets stay disappointing

Lol you bout to lose another bag

 

[Air Pope]

A Quad tendon tear is just as bad as an achilles, what awful luck for DMC.

Yea I’m bummed about that, he was supposed to get that bag next season.

 

[Air Pope]

Bro....I need HIM in here asap. Idk if he was just talking out his neck or what...but dude dropped some cast iron words about the clips winning when they were down 25 and I called him kute. I mocked him. And thats just what I typed...its nothing compared to what I said about you offline.

And for that...I'm sorry. I owe you a root beer float. And a slim thick joint at bunny ranch. It's deserving.

Takes a real man to admit that

One big difference, my G. We had Allen Iverson. That was my favorite playoff run in NBA history. "Bubba Chuck" matched offensive wits with Reggie Miller, Vince Carter, Ray Allen/"Big Dog" consecutively. Then proceeded to steal a game off the Lakers in the Finals. That Philly squad had no business being competitive against LAL. Think about the lack of talent surrounding "The Answer." McKie, Snow, Tyrone Hill, George Lynch, "Deke." I mean, c'mon. Who was gonna shoot/score besides Iverson??

Actually looks ruptured

This team we have right now is a million times better than the 2001 team man.

I’m not actually saying we’re going to go on a Finals run this year either, we might even lose next game again vs the Nets I just thought it was funny it would be basically the exact same path as back then.

@hardens beard This is what we were saying yesterday. You put him in actions with Gallo and Lou, and make him play both sides, and it was a big reason why he got into foul trouble.

The roster is. The team as a whole ain't.

CP0 choked the series away

CP0 choked the series away

The end of that game 5 against OKC might be the worst 5 minutes or so of play in CP’s career. Was just brutal.

I don’t know if it’s wise to stick steph on Gallo lol. Not sure what the thinking is on that

 

[addict4sneakers]

Choked a 31 point lead to the 8th seed with all that talent. Crazy.

Warriors have been suffering all year from that dynasty arrogance. They're not as "humble" and "different" as the media and their fans portray. They're just as vulnerable to the usual distractions like other great teams. Egos, too cocky, the usual ****.

I’m going to let you cook but that whole humility angle is weak. Being humble doesn’t matter in sports

It also helps that Steph’s primary defensive instinct is to reach and slap at the ball...
