**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[blastercombo]

There's way more to an internet presence than just your social media. It's 2019, the internet is real life.
If you're savvy enough you can **** someone's life up. And yes she will most likely be fine. Money = security.
But the downplaying of internet hate mobs should be challenged on principle. Logging out of facebook is not an end to the problem.
"Just log out" should never be an acceptable response to someone's safety being threatened when swatting kills people every year.

We’re talking about this one situation, not internet in general. This lady will be fine

Warriors playing mind games, KD won’t be on the court until the 2019-2020 season. They need to just rule him out already

He’ll be back game 8

@bballkid11 still confident?

Raptors did a great job at utilizing gasol in different ways and exposing cousins.

Serge had some bonehead plays last night, but he gave his team exactly what they needed in rim protection. He also hit a couple of wide open shots that helped. If that continues for the rest of the series, it could be the reason why Toronto wins the series.

Klaw also had a good second half. Gsw #1 defensive priority is limiting kawhi...so he's had a decent series given the circumstances.

Fvv...fantastic on both sides of the ball

Lowry had a great game last night

All bs aside...

Dap to curry for putting up 47 with the whole raptors team focused on limiting him. It was a top 10 finals scoring performance easily and it will be forgotten because of various factors...either way, he was great last night.

Steph’s 47 was impressive as hell. That first quarter had me about ready to cancel christmas

Oh geez

Now fans are starting to question. Calf strain or Achilles on social media

I have no doubt that it really is a calf strain. I’ve heard doctors and formers players who have had that injury talk about calf strains and they all say it’s not something you come right back from. Takes weeks.

KD sitting on purpose to expose Steve.

Yeah, I feel like this is just mind games at this point.

I think he's done.

Time to make the final push with Steph, Klay, and Dray and see where that goes.

Damnit I better see Bogut get more PT over Cousins the remainder of the series.

 

[Fozz]

I'm hoping for 2-2 after tomorrow night. That's a big if, though.

Wouldn't be surprised if the W's go down 3-1.

 

[P C H]

Did the warriors ever say the grade of the calf strain for KD?

 

[freeze]

KD a *****. Kobe would play.

Exactly. Been saying the same thing since the finals started.

 

[Based Jesus]

This. Idiots and online trolls no matter who they target need to be checked. You can’t have morons around here running the show then blaming the victim for being “weak”.

I feel kinda strongly about this because this is what I used to do. Not THIS, targeting people just for asking someone what they want to drink, but using the internet to get people's information and ****ing with them. DOSing cats I was playing online. Having people get charged for porn I was watching. And this was a DECADE ago. I was a harmless jackass who never wanted to hurt anybody but imagine how easy it would've been back then.....and then compare it to NOW. **** is real.

If gsw loses game 4...this series is over in 5 imo

 

[P C H]

Oh geez

I don't know **** but My best guess is that GSW took liberty with the diagnosis by calling it a calf strain. A Grade 3 calf strain is basically a tear of the muscle, and normally accompanied by a pop. If he didn't tear his achilles, then to me this is what logically happened because he and others have had had calf strains before and been back quicker.

Crazy how I think this series may put the battery in his back to come back to the bay.

Definitely need more Curry x Quin ball. Quick ball handlers that can score. More guard play. Keep shaun away from any meaningful minutes. He gotta be Robert Sacre from here on out.

slight overreaction on shaun. hes just off. hes proven he will come out of it and hit big shots. what im impressed by is cooks ability to shoot off the dribble. every game this series he has like 2 or 3 hezi stepback fades by the free throw over a big defender. all cash. all he gotta do is hit the gym and practice with steph and klay on knocking down the open corner 3 and hes outta here

 

[nick.]

Did the warriors ever say the grade of the calf strain for KD?

Don't think so but seems like a grade 2 or 3

It's hilarious seeing all these people on social media saying "it's definitely a torn achilles." Do they not realize if he tore his achilles he wouldn't be able to jump around and even walk the way he has been? Like others said above it was probably a grade 3 strain/torn calf and the warriors didn't want to let anyone know

Would be a fabulous end to the season.

 

[Fozz]

Same. I'm trying to be optimistic, but it's hard to.

 

[SplinterMatic319]

Wasn't it not too long ago that Gilbert Arenas went on a super long rant about how overrated Kawhi is, system player and doesnt deserve a signature shoe.
