**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[ill steelo]

No KD, No Klay. If Steph drags this team to a win in Game 3 without those two guys, that would be impressive.* I’ve long thought Klay (and KD after he joined) were a huge and underrated part of Steph’s success because you can’t help off them. If those guys don’t play you should be able to double/trap Steph all game long. The same way other great offensive players are guarded in the postseason.

Me thinks Draymond will be the best warrior on the court again, though.

People had jokes for the box and 1 but with Klay gone and Steph as the only reliable shooter on the floor, the Warriors literally did not score a single point for those last 4.5 mins until Nurse switched back to straight up man.

I cant take any of T-Mac’s fits seriously after seeing him in the choppa suit. The rebrand got him feeling himself too.

exactly. I was looking for a jump split gif

KD ain’t coming back.

Dude is trying to walk normally so bad it’s appalling.

people with connections says he's still coming back

Steph really didn't score in the 4th quarter last night? I was driving home so only caught the last 3 minutes of the 4th.

He was setting back screens all night getting guys looks. Gravity was on 1000

Including where they went scoreless for a 5 minute stretch?

Lol exactly. What a *** move. Literally

Toronto didn’t score either

Klay is one big game away from a finals mvp. Shooting splits are insane

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

At least Steph had enough heart in him to set a screen..

So is Draymond for his all around play and defense. Steph don't wanna snatch it.

Funny how the refs could be partially responsible for players injuring themselves. I've seen a player who sticks his leg out to make himself wider get a favorable call so often in today's league. If they never called this ****, no one would ever try it again.

 

[tatayniDarna]

kerr also deserves a ton of credit for his adjustments. that was a masterful job on both ends of the floor.

Now show the angle where green hip checks him while he’s in the air

 

[ill steelo]

Nurse actually called this out in his interview at the start the of fourth, and they proceeded to get caught by it anyway

Also repeatedly nobody sunk to cover the 5 after Steph dumped it off to Dray after the trap. Easy lobs to Bogut of all people.

Just a very poor follow up to G1.

 

[MVP]

TOR just can't get obliterated in the 3rd like last night, they're game plan defensively overall has been really effective. They've won 6 of the 8 quarters so far. So either have a big enough cushion to withstand the imminent run from GS to begin the 3rd or just do what they did during the 3rd game 1 and continue to trust your offensive execution and they'll be fine. We've seen GS fold and fail to execute if that signature spurt doesn't create separation.

Cliff Rob in that screen shot looks like kd

Damn helping too much and not helping at all.
