**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[danger style]

Josh Jackson said f**** it and went all the way

Please don’t mention josh jacksons name anywhere near a playoff thread

 

[ahat]

Was good for most of the day but starting to fall apart mentally again.

Keep having nightmares of Klay and Steph's shooting last game causing the raptors to overplay them leading to easy backdoors in game 6.

Im skressed.

You shut your mouth

 

[D_eezus]

this is the only one I will excuse.. **** gave me chills first time I seen it

***** cocked back the clip and let it ring on em

No finals gif has topped this since imo

 

[rolaholic]

You shut your mouth

My dude Osh stays killing the vibe

Just sit back and enjoy the Raps taking care of business on the road again to bring home chip no.1 and have the final lasting smell of Oracle being that of celebratory champagne

 

[Bert.]

I don’t want a game 7

Let’s go!!

That **** dumb. Load the magazine...cock back the hammer...then put it in the holster?

Your man's a house cat.

Buddy aint even cock it back. Just put another clip in the top. Can tell mans never held nothing in his life.

ZAACTLY. That celebration was dumb af lolz

 

[storm2006]

It’s kind of funny that folks say Klay could never be a #1. I get that he’s not a playmaker. At all but if he was on a squad with other playmakers that suited his strengths, he could put up those numbers on a routine basis. 31 shots with 18 3FGA and 23 shots with 14 3FGA

Eem doe Dubs in 7, copped for the culture

got raps closing this out tonight.

As much as I will repeat Dubs in 7, without KD, it’s truly difficult to see them having the firepower to score the necessary amount of points to compete or having a low scoring game where the splash bros go off and they play the requisite defense to win.

Draymond just walked in rocking a Mac Dre shirt...




Guess were going 7

 

[storm2006]

Two things crossing my mind:

1. Does any part of Kawhi’s legacy depend on this game? I’m curious how it is affected win vs. loss (that could be win in 6/7 or lose in 7)

2. Does Toronto leaving increase the chance of KLaw leaving?

1.) You could look at in 2 realms of fact, that Kawhi would be 1-2 in the finals if the Raptors lost this or that Kawhi took a bum team to the finals his first year there. Winning this puts Kawhi in the top 10 all time discussion. 2 rings, 2 FMVP 2x DPOY and maybe even most points in a playoff series? Losing this doesn’t hinder him too much for the simple fact that this team wasn’t built around him and they constantly underachieved

2.) I’m of the mindset that Kawhi leaves regardless. The narrative is lot more ill if he wins and still dips on some “you’re welcome, scrubs” type ****. If he can win in Toronto, he can win anywhere. Especially a place with much better weather and things to do with a team built around him.

 

[ahat]

Lol @ bum team

You mean the Hawks?

I appreciate your genuine response. Having said that, did you take @casper90403 ’s advice and start drinking heavily a few hours ago? A W in this series is a big feat but by no means has Kawhi in the Top 10 GOAT. I can’t be the only to think this.

I’m not sure what he does after but if he cares about accolades, I think he realized the East is it. However, he doesn’t seem like that type of player to me. He’ll go where he’s happy and gut it out because no matter where he calls home, ball is life and Board Man gets paid so he’ll be happy regardless.

Bum Raptors team? Some people say the dumbest ****
