**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[second2nonee]

kyrie couldn't even make the playoffs without bron in a weak east

Gave y'all that L in game 7 tho

 

[moe200069]

24 minutes away from all road teams winning all 8 games over the weekend .... that’s crazy

yo this is wild. has this ever happened?

 

[Kinfolk]

The possibilities of what? This Portland team isn't doing anything significant with Dame being the best player, and he's almost 2 years older than Kyrie.

Lets be serious for a second...

Kyrie’s knees age in Dog years.

 

[freeze]

That’s why Dame always gonna be the same.

He’s getting killed and not doing anything about it.

Gotta respect Russ

...Lol

 

[second2nonee]

I missed nearly the whole 2nd half.
Big up to CJ/Dame/Kanter and company.

Everyone counted them out with Nurk loss.

Russ though, Lord stop me from slandering him.
He was 5-16 1st half.
He finished 5-21.

He’s such a baby.
PG13 is a 3rd option though?
Yikes young wolf, even injured he’s better than that. Terrible take.

Can’t wait to see Post Presser, I bet Russ hides.
Crazy because I was mowing the property this morning for an Easter Egg hunt and it takes a few hours so I got in plenty of radio and I don’t know how local fans/Radio hosts are “just now” embarrassed by Russ and the way he treats media.

I’ve been talking for years about how embarrassing that was, when KD was here it was even worse but I remember folks telling me I was overacting to how the pouted all the time and treated Media like they caught them in bed with their wives.

Anywho, Russ....God Bless you and keep you. I wish you all great things.

Ernie with the Concorde lows, top5 Jordan.

So.... OKC to the WCF?

 

[Humbled]

I would without question rather have Dame over Russ.

Kyrie and Dame is a toss up

 

[B Sox]

You got it bub.

 

[lawdog1]

So.... OKC to the WCF?

West Coast Fishing...yep...

 

[theregothatman]

when russ eventually loses that athleticism, his game is going to fall off so bad

That’s half the league

 

[B Sox]

Taking both Kyrie and Dame over Russ any day. Don't like my primary ball handler to be a trash shooter.

Russ might be the 6th best PG, not counting Harden as a PG.

CP3 and Jrue better too.

 

[monstar]

Jazz head coach and maybe gm gotta go after this season

 

[Maximus Meridius]

The gift and curse of Russ. Way too inefficient. Can't go nowhere with your franchise player shooting like that.

 

[Kinfolk]

Flat Earth NT members don’t want to acknowledge this.

 

[freeze]

Russ can't run a high level playoff level PnR because he can't shoot out of it right now.

Dame is running PnR from the logo because he can stretch the defense that far.

A master class right now on why you need your PG to be able to shoot off the bounce in 2019. Gamebreaker.

So Ben Simmons a dead man walking den.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Jazz head coach and maybe gm gotta go after this season

Snyder is one of the best coaches in the league. He ****** up the first two games but did better in game 3. It's not his fault his players blow at offense

He had his team shooting some of the best shot quality in the entire league all year. Squeezed every ounce he could out of that offense. Made Rudy into the floor raiser he is for the most part. Hid Donovan's deficiencies as best as he could the past 2 years

The GM though, yeah he ****** up if it wasn't the owner's call not to trade for Conley

 

[a-friend]

So.... OKC to the WCF?

It’s obviously not looking likely, and I can see Portland winning 1-3 sure.

What I saw tonight was pathetic.

 

[a-friend]

Maximus Meridius said it all.

Flat Earth NT members don’t want to acknowledge this.

I really can’t tell if you’re trolling/being sarcastic right now

 

[moe200069]

Nah Kyrie and Dame definitely same tier. I’d say Kyrie is sliggggghtly better but Dame’s attitude and personality would make me choose him over Kyrie

Unbiased opinion

Kyrie is definitely better than Dame and i like Dame a lot. Much better handles, much better 3 much better finisher. Don't really monitor their defense like that to rate it.

Since NT loves its "Alphas" I'm lightweight surprised folks would argue kyrie > dame considering dame has never played the robin to anyone's batman. he's currently carrying a team that's missing its starting center and whose second best player is elite monta ellis into the second round of the playoffs. his team has a legitimate chance to get to the WCF. there's a reason why Dame has been on multiple all-nba and nba first teams. however, since he's playing in a small- to mid-market team we don't see it.

you put dame on that boston team with horford, MAGA, smart, and tatum, they're favorites to win the east.

 

[a-friend]

Trammel has an axe to grind and somehow this is lost on the anti-Russ contingent.

Not true at all.

Not hating on him at all i like him as a coach. But the man hasnt produced they have been bounced early again

 

[Upptempo]

Russ has the Kobe mentality without the Kobe offensive skill. When Kobe aged prior to the Achilles injury, he relied on skill more than athleticism. When Russ is killin, he’s using his athleticism. Wait til dude starts declining physically. He’s gonna be struggling hard. And I like Russ

 

[buc em]

So Ben Simmons a dead man walking den.

There’s only one Ben Simmons.

You dudes keep saying the same **** and he keeps going out performing and winning games.

 

[sooperhooper]

Russ definitely has the Jordan heart and athleticism but not the skill set.
