**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[Lovetohate3000]

Call out those people ty. It probably isn't the same people saying it. Anyone who said the warriors were better without kd and didn't need him to Win titles don't know basketball..
Why listen to them to begin with.

 

[drewsone]

All i ask for is consistency in here damnit

One day the Raptors stand no chance against Giannis & the Bucks... Kawhi has to carry everything
KD is actually slowing down the Warriors Offense with all that Iso ball, there not really that much better with him.

Raptors win game one, now suddenly GS isn't really that good and don't have any answers for the Raptors. So Kawhi and the same supporting cast ya'll didn't think could get past the Bucks just two weeks ago is now suddenly good enough to beat the Warriors. But ya'll "GOAT" stood no chance against em. HOW SWAY!!

Ya'll were just swearing up & down that the Warriors weren't really THAT much better with KD...

is it oochie wally or one mic?

did i do that right?

???????

who said this.. you add a top 10 player of all time and the best offensive talent of ALL time.. the team is going to get significantly better.. I honestly cant stand warriors fans.. like what are you even talking about

 

[QU!K]

Siakim is good but I thought we weren’t letting regular season videos cook in this thread. We didn’t let axe man do it with Ben Simmons

Postseason only

 

[B Sox]

Ty the goat disingenuous poster of logical fallacies.

Consistency is A-1.

 

[B Sox]

Agree mostly, but I thought Klay stunk. He hit a few open 3s but otherwise he didn't do much. Toronto just isn't giving up much with those open 3s. They're disciplined and are going to make the other 3 beat them as long as KD isn't out there.

I honestly chalk that up more so to Klay's limitations than anything. He can't consistently get his own shot. That's just who he is. Him only attempting 6 3 pointers is a huge victory for Toronto. They are going to just make him do stuff inside the arc, and he isn't great at it.

I knew the hot takes would be scorchin but some of these dudes gotta be trolling. Sunday can’t come fast enough, the turn on Siakham will be hillarious. Milwaukee dared him to shoot last series due to his inability to hit jumpers, now I’m supposed to believe he’s a true number 2 option after 1 game? Hell FVV was hitting stepbacks off of one leg and were supposed to believe that’s substainable?

I’m in the minority’s in that I don’t play Boogie or KD this series. Warriors had a rhythm the last 5 games and we all saw in game 1 Cousins can’t and shouldn’t be in the rotation. KD hasn’t played in 3 weeks , just let him start his free agency meetings early.

I will say Toronto’s defense was impressive and that will travel, but the offensive outburst nah, I ain’t rolling with that.

Been on NT since 05 and sometimes I forget this place hates anything, anybody, popular or successful, and praises up and comers aka people who haven’t experienced success or done anything successful.

Now the Rockets were trash but before and during the series all we heard was how they could beat the W’s. Y’all gotta pick a side

when the Warriors win watch how quickly the narrative becomes Kawhi was carrying a bunch of role players who weren't ready for the moment

Thing is, there's a stark difference between one team daring a guy to shoot jumpers and the other giving him like 14 attempts in the paint.

You gotta be trolling.

 

[HIM]

And if the Raptors take care of the boards like they're normally accustomed to they win by 17. This can go both ways. People acting like the Raptors played their A game last night, they didn't.

Giannis had an awful game and it still took Toronto two OTs to beat them.

Bucks in 5

Nope. “Siakam” doesn’t have an “h” in it.

He’s only been the second option all season

There’s a reason why he’s a MIP finalist

SiakAm with an “A”

Can’t count how many times I’ve seen Siakim with an “i”

and when Kevin went down midway through game 5?

You gotta be trolling.

GS should just play Kawhi straight up and not double. That will cut down a bunch of those looks in the paint. We all know Kawhi will dribble the ball for the full shot clock if forced to. Turn him into an iso player and it’s curtains because the role players won’t be able to get in a rhythm.

Yep he has been but he’s been inconsistent also which is why they’ve had 6 plus game series during this playoff run.
