**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[P C H]

This is as dramatic of an NBA season as I can recall in my lifetime.

Yep...Until next year .

With shorter max deals, rings culture in conjunction with social media, along with the player empowerment era in full swing, I feel like this is going to be a standard NBA season for years to come. It's borderline manufactured now

What Silver knows is that this climate goes hand in hand with the NBA explosion in popularity over the last half decade plus.

Sorry bro. There is enough of a sample size to show that Toronto was celebrating when KD went down. There was also a large F KD chant from a large outdoor gathering (dont think it was JP, but could be wrong) that someone reposted from snapchat, which has since been deleted.

Plenty of examples. Dont want you to thin I am coming at you personally, but your fanbase was wrong last night. Period.

Waste behavior 100%

Never took it personal, no worries.

The majority of “fans” are trash *** people.

Canada might be built different

USA, Canada, Mexico, Egypt, wherever. It's not cool at all.

True, I am still trying to figure out the definition of a "fan".

Half These people at games are not fans man

 

[onthesceneclean]

He couldn’t even squeeze a tear out

Was he SUPPOSED to cry?

He owned it ..he put the blame soley on himself. What else you want....tears...for him to resign??? Ish is too much

Yall still in here whining about the fans cheering because KD hurt his leg???
Take yall overly sensitive asses to the bachelorette thread.

The NBA went WWE a long time ago and thats what the Toronto fans gave them last night

 

[hand2handking]

I think most of those fans don't know enough about basketball to realize it's potentially a career altering injury

There’s a bachelorette thread

And you posting in there?

I swear I thought there were only dudes on NT

 

[Mike dunleavy]

Celtics fans did the same **** too

A lot of them are there just to say they were at the game. Some sort of status.

Cue the gif from some mlb game (think it was dbacks) and all those girls are on their phones taking selfies.

His punk *** tried to pretend he was for all of 10mins.

After kinda processing last nights game, it’s gonna suck not being able to see KD play for a whole season

One thing I will say without KD playing next season is that it completely evens out the playing field. The championship will be up for grabs to a handful of teams next year, which will bring some much needed parody to the NBA. Can’t remember the last time a team wasn’t clear cut favorite to win the title

doesnt matter the severity. He could've just fallen and stubbed his toe. They still hype he hurt. Maybe they feel guilty when they find out it's really serious.

they still **** boys. anybody getting hurt is wack. and cheering for it...you asking for a knuckle sandwich.

 

[tay1]

I don't think anyone is really to blame.

The Warriors probably should've been more careful & Durant probably shouldn't have taken the risk. Just a really unfortunate situation.

Ultimately this. Don't really think theres much more to be said

I tend to disagree with every word of every one of your posts.

The Alabama Raptors ..... pathetic

Sorry dude. I had no issue with Toronto until last night. No, it wasnt 5-10 people. It was a full stadium cheering. It was all of Jurassic Park cheering. It was f*** KD chants going around. It was numerous videos of entire bars worth of people celebrating.

I normally agree with the "a small amount of people shouldnt define the overall group" logic. But this aint it fam. Cant use that excuse with the 10s of thousands of poeple caught on video celebrating. Sorry if that upsets you, but thats the truth.

The parity (not parody lol) that everyone is yearning for and blaming KD for ruining has NEVER existed. The NBA has always been top heavy and there are rarely more then a small handful of teams with even a small chance of winning a title. Its been like this for decades.

 

[dland24]

This is clearly a reaction to the whistle. Come on fam. These arent cheers. They are boos. Dont be ridiculous.

Yeah no ****

Toronto fans were also cheering because they knew that was what was needed in order to win which is also weak.

 

[onthesceneclean]

If KD aint play last night..and Warriors woulda lost...somebody woulda found some BS to say about KD...about Cousins...about Steph and Kerr....believeeeee me.
Talking caca bout peeps is what social media is all about. They know ..no actual facts. It’s jus raw slander

If you want parody go watch the MLB playoffs.

Stars drive the league and ratings not the public perception of parody.

U trying to watch the nets vs the jazz in the finals?
