**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[Air Pope]

I think it was game 5 in the 4th quarter with only a few minutes to go when Giannis pulled up off the dribble and buried a huge 3 right in gasol's face to keep the Bucks in it. Of course they still lost and it was only 1 shot but the fact that he had the nuts to take and make that shot showed me that he'll be fine

To be fair, he pulled up for that same 3 in game 6 & bricked it. So he isn’t really afraid of taking it when needed. Just gotta make it.

Giannis def should be alright i can't say i seen him shy away from the game & he was also still going after it defensively & on the boards... he'll be fine but he needs either a better shot or more counter moves when he's close to the basket.

wish bron went into this mode again man lol'

prob had to do with paul pierce

 

[Nipsey3000]

One of the few times when LeBron was possessed with the same basketball demon that possessed mj his entire career with the bulls

 

[206to813]

Yea screw over half the country instead of just making east coast guys have to suck it up and stay up a little later a few nights... ..now your thinking

I'm on the east and wake up to do manual labor at 6 every day btw.

Bruh. One coast is getting screwed regardless. What coast has more people? I’ll let you figure it out smart guy.

[bballkid11]

but are you nice on the court tho?

haha, I played ball 4 years in college, 2 countries and D League. Getting older now feeling it all though SMH
I train and coach now but I do play on a really good Summer Pro Aim team in Michigan. This year I am playing with E Devendorf (Syracuse Vet), Edmond Sumner (Pacers) and Ray Mccallum (Kings and other teams) haha.

"I" am not anything bro, I know someone who knows him. Matter of fact more than knows him is around him daily. He and my pops are really cool. Other than that. I have nothing.
Idk if it is true or not.

They said he "could" play. I am not sure if that means 60, 70 or 80%. I "could" play 4 weeks after my surgery but not how I wanted.

exactly. They said he could play after game 2 last series too. And they said if they were down and portland was leading the series, they might've thought more about activating him. It's all for show. He wouldn't still have a strong limp now if he truly is healing and getting around the clock care and rehab. If it was that bad to still be limping like 3-4 weeks later, they would've been restricted the movements and pressure he puts on it by either having him in a boot or on crutches. It's all a movie.

They'll activate him like an 35 minutes before game time and f up toronto's whole game plan.

 

[QU!K]

Draymond talking ****

 

[icysoles718]

I wouldn't..

“I gotta call it like I see it, talk it like I be it”
Not sure how old you are, but I live by this Nature line.

What he say? haha

Don’t want to misquote him but

Something about “it’s like if you gree up in the suburbs and went to private school and you’re dropped off in the hood and told to survive.”

In regards to having finals experience vs not

Or something like that. I may have missed the context
