**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[goldmember]

OMFG thats how exactly my knee buckled when i tore my acl

I ******* knew it

 

[tekthemaestro]

with kd being out AND klay... the warriors just went from kings of the nba, to maybe they should develop the bench and limit stephs minutes.... what a whirlwind

 

[chrisftdot]

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

If it weren't for KD situation, I wouldn't be surprised if they allowed Klay to continue.

 

[dman14]

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

that whole medical/training staff is going to be let go. someone is taking the blame and it will be them.

 

[atlsfinest]

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?

Woj reported it

 

[QU!K]

Draymond getting the max?

 

[MVP]

Klay is likely out for the majority of 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

Top 4, it's going to be a struggle for them to make the playoffs. They don't have any way to improve the team unless they don't offer Klay the max. They're cap strapped.

I think this could be good for Steph honestly. This year of being the only scorer could teach him how to take over a game in overwhelming fashion. This series showed that he can get lost in a lineup even when it’s catered for him to flourish.

Death of a dynasty

Bruh they ain't making top 4

Oh damn, I guess the guy literally is Superman.

Curry would have to go 2005-06 Kobe and lead the league in minutes while averaging 35 points a game but I don't think Curry's built like that.

For as great as Curry is he's not built physically or mentally to carry that load night in and night out for 82 games and the playoffs

 

[aepps20]

Draymond getting the max?

If there smart they won't give the max to a role player.

 

[QU!K]

Bummed AF about klaydagawd.

Sucks but he should have been on reduced minutes from when his hamstring was messed up

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Damn Klay

 

[ahat]

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.

Downtown Toronto is lit:

Bro DT is super lit

That Kaiser Permanente commercial is shining right now.

Yo they kinda believed Porzingis raping a girl with a torn ACL. You can still move with a torn ACL it doesn't totally immobilize you.

 

[air jsarg]

NBA Season 2019-2020 will officially hit level playing field status

 

[Kinfolk]

Am I the only one that’s annoyed by this?

Billionaires are footing that bill.

The media is always like “ohh wow that team will be in the luxury tax to the tune of nearly $300M! This is a huge deal for these poor owners!”

There is nothing “staggering” about a billionaire paying this paltry sum for one of his HOBBIES/ Side businesses!!

 

[illicit305]

klay needs to leave, come back as headband klay when he heals and prove he can be a 30-34 ppg guy and primary option without 2-3 other gods next to him

Damn man didn't want my squad to lose. But when ayesha curry come out in the middle of the playoffs and say all dat that just told me that steph ain't that guy. His own household ain't locked into the playoffs. Lebron out here with no social media to bug him and steph wife out here wish others would give her attention smh

Savannah wouldn't do that man smh

Dray and Klay out
