**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[Sonny Corinthos]

I hope the Warriors lose in the most heartbreaking way

 

[QU!K]

i was too young for the 2004 finals.

i knew we were in big trouble once we lost game 5 in 2016. and i think without kd the cavs would've beat us for years to come.

also i don't make predictions about teams i don't follow regularly. i think that's just stupid. you have to be extremely familiar with at least one of the two teams so you know exactly what works for/against them and what doesn't.

so if you're neither a raptors fan or a warriors fan that watches at least 70%-80% of the games, thanks for joining the conversation but your opinion is worthless lol.

Look how obnoxious you are lol

I am a Raptors fan.

I been watching the Raptors since 95

You were too young for the 2004 finals but you know more about ball than anyone on this forum?

You only watch 70-80% of ONE team and you know more about ball than everyone?

Go sit in a corner somewhere lol.

I'm done talking with you you little ****

Warriors not winning this series without KD returning.

kiss of death


rejoice raps fans.

 

[antidope]

The Spurs have been brought up an unnecessary amount during this Finals coverage.

Warriors winning confirmed.

Blame your mans Pop for scheming w/ Kerr

they needed kd. it's about matchups. they needed him in the clippers series and the rockets series. because those teams had the right personnel and defensive scheme to contain the warriors ball movement and player movement. kd was their insurance because when everything fails you can throw him the ball to get you a bucket. but they didn't need him in the portland series and they're not gonna need him in the finals because those teams don't possess the same personnel that can limit steph and klay.

this warriors team beat lebron's cavs, KDs thunder(down 3-1), and hardens rockets.....dont say they need KD to beat the rockets who choked with KD off the floor game 6 and 7..CHOKED and don't say they need KD to beat the raptors....warriors are not the bucks....the bucks didnt hit their shots otherwise they roll over the raptors......the raptors game plan was to clog paint and HOPE that the bucks miss 3s.......zero chance raptors have zero......unless injury of course or refs kick out a big 3 player again.....


it was a good move warriors getting KD, kept him off Cs and likely lebron wins one of the past 3 titles.....KDs legacy took hit going there and IF warriors win in 4-5 WITHOUT HIM???!??! WOW

I think GSW fans have surpassed Lakers fans as most obnoxious.

Almost unbearable.

Just need someone to Zaza Steph and we good.

Rooting for injures, who’s obnoxious again?

dam i wish zaza was still on the warriors. we need him for warriors vs raptors

Mane... I wish the Warriors could get ZaZa for a 10-day contract...

Now that kahwi is playing, we should go ahead and re-sign Zaza...LOL

*****s got so much hate in they heart it makes them foolish

if i remembered correctly, you still thought the finals has a 2-3-2 format just a couple of pages back. the fact that you're still in this thread calling people out on their basketball knowledge, is quite comical.

Probably a couple alts and a couple post championship warriors fans.

 

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

I hope Toronto makes this a series. It would be a shame for all this time you wasted on a short 4/5 game series.

Warriors in 5, 6 tops
StephVP finally gets his FMVP
Haters will cry and say their path to the finals was easy, team stacked, whatever else excuse they can think of.

It was an incredibly easy path. The West has fallen off of a cliff and is composed of decent teams that don’t have the talent and basketball IQ to seriously compete for a title. You used to have multiple teams in the mix every year, now all you really have is an old Houston team who is poorly coached and a star player that plays iso ball and disappears late in games. People are overreacting, the Warriors wouldn’t play nearly as well if they had better, more competent competition. Their best competition was the 2016 Cavaliers, and they lost that series.

 

[migu420]

If there were better, more competent competition noone would hate the warriors and they wouldn't be talked about as an all time great team. And to think, they drafted 3 of these dudes.

i took a break from buying sneakers and came back to nt for the travis 1s and now i'm just lurking around since i got a little extra time.

fan interaction is what makes nba basketball so great, it never hurts to have a little trash talk back and forth. it's obviously easier when your team is winning, but when you start getting emotional and calling people names, that's just a no go man.

with that being said i'm outta here see y'all in a week hopefully.

Boy, narratives be changing so fast in here.

They were fine until they got Durant, which destroyed the competitive balance in the league.

I get that, but we have an excellent group of players in an extremely excellent system and this is the product. It's a very beautiful product and it's not a result of other teams playing like garbage, but a result of hard work and team play.
