**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[tekthemaestro]

I think they make the playoffs but they're not the favorite in the west anymore.

Denver, Houston, Utah, Blazers, Thunder, Clippers (?), **** even the Lakers might be better

rockets finally have a clear path

 

[atlsfinest]

I just looked it up and it's kind of crazy. Everyone has been saying that Kawhi is the first player to win Finals MVP in two conferences but I assumed they were wrong because Kareem won the title with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Lakers but the Milwaukee Bucks. Then I found out the Bucks were in the Western Conference when they win the title in 1971.

Warriors medical staff trash?

Or just other injuries leading to more

5 straight finals is a lot of wear and tear

[shotsrangout]

If the Warriors have any chance next season, Curry gonna have to...

He’s not that guy man

 

[dman14]

big season for dray. his volume and usage will be up. it's time to show out for a huge contract

 

[chrisftdot]

The West is wide open next year, but Harden and CP3 gonna find a way to choke again.

 

[ahat]

Still need those shorts they were rocking tonight

And a couple authentics

Warriors medical staff trash?

Or just other injuries leading to more

why would Klay landing like that have anything to do with their medical staff

 

[staffsgtdignam]

Basketball god took a chip AND Klay’s ACL for what they did to KD

Where did you hear it was Klay’s ACL? Dude was able to run up the court and was straight up doing jumping jacks-is he literally Superman?

So proud of my boys for pulling this off. It still hasn't sunk in. I can't believe it. Went into the season thinking ECF would be a success (expecting Boston to win the East). After a couple of months I thought making the final would be a success (no shame in losing to this great GSW team).

After game 3 of the final I realized we were the better team and had a shot to win it. If Kawhi stays we'll be a contender for several more years and can build an even stronger team due to all the cap room we'll have beginning next summer.

Tough luck for GSW with all the injuries. I hope KD and Klay return to 100%. Crazy to think that dynasty might end not due to money, egos, or an NBA lockout, but rather due to injuries.

RAPTORS BABY.

whatever team kawhi is playing in, i'm putting money on that team
raps, clips, or golden state

 

[staffsgtdignam]

Steph not built to carry no team, crazy these kids really think he in that Mike, Bron, Kobe type category, nah that cloth cut different fam

I’ve been saying Steph is a better Ray Allen. In fact, I could see him winning another title as a role player, just like Ray did. I think he would have to leave the Warriors to do that though, just like Ray has to do with the Heat.

 

[QU!K]

If doctors did their job y’all might still have healthy Klay and KD next year

Where did you hear it was Klay’s ACL? Dude was able to run up the court and was straight up doing jumping jacks-is he literally Superman?

Confirmed torn acl. I'm sick.

 

[MVP]

Klay a MFING LEGEND!

 

[elpablo21]

Klay is a real one. Son was jumping up and down, running on a torn acl and still wanted to play! Salute

That was wild to think back and run that in my mind now.

He was putting as much pressure on that knee to convince himself he could play on it

 

[migu420]

Congrats man.

 

[Clyde Frog]

this is so bizarre

 

[tekthemaestro]

Where did you hear it was Klay’s ACL? Dude was able to run up the court and was straight up doing jumping jacks-is he literally Superman?

they said he was jumping up and down. and doing that is where they probably said oh hell no and put him on crutches

 

[atlsfinest]

Klay is likely out for the majority of, if not all of next season, KD is definitely out for the entire season. It's going to take a Herculean effort for the Warriors to even be a top four seed next season. I'll admit, I've routed against the Warriors sense Durant got there but this is just ridiculous

 

[servechilled81]

What becomes of Demarcus Cousins next year?

 

[frink85]

If someone essentially redshirts a season, can they still get a Supermax if they were all-nba the last season they played...?
