**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[buc em]

Meh

Its DLo's first playoff run and he doesnt have the luxury of deferring to Embiid, Butler, Tobias.

Lol.....

What a weak *** excuse to discredit Ben’s defense

 

[MVP]

Interesting Warriors are the biggest favorites of the potential 2nd rd matchups with supposedly having the most difficult matchup.

who are they going to match in the second round?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Pat Beverly went on record on the knuckle heads pod today saying that the three toughest covers in the league are:

Dame- Pat elaborated on this and said if Dame played for a different coach like Dantoni it would be a wrap for everybody. He also said that people are only getting a LITTLE TASTE of what Dame is capable of.

Russ

kemba- he elaborated on this and said that due to his weak teammates you can just trap Kemba to subdue him.

Funny how Kyrie isn’t on this list from arguably the best perimeter defender in the league.

When was this interview?

Dame is a tough *** cover man. Wish Nurk was healthy.

Russ is a tough cover because he is always in attack mode. He does not take the best shots but he does not let you rest on defense and drives you down hill.

Kemba is shifty, quick and can pull up on a dime.

He is not lying.

Did he go on a revenge tour last year too?

Unless Curry Plays at a GOD level every game. He ain’t getting one

if steph didn't **** the bed game 3 last year he wouldve had a better shot, but KD was lethal every game and deserved the recognition.

steph's played lackluster against the clips but if i've learned anything from the Iggy getting the 2015 FMVP it's that the first three rounds of play mean absolutely nothing when it comes to determining who gets fmvp.

I mean not really. We all know how Ben would look if they swapped places.

Well one would think that would be intuitive considering the award is for the finals series and not the playoffs.

In Too Deep

Unless PG's shoulder miraculously heals then Thunder getting run out the building tonight.

Arena gonna be poppin like the Damon Stoudamire years

 

[MVP]

Also if OKC gets eliminated tonight, this is why PG stayed, Russ is going to get slandered all summer long and he's going to get away scott free.

If he had chosen LA he would have been the one getting the blame.

I was there for the rip city years. And also the jr rider era too

Love the 503

Would you agree that they are heavy favorites against Houston?

That ship has already sailed. Russ’ beef with Trammell is like throwing oil barrels on a forest fire

There’s already been several articles going at Russ

 

[MVP]

Yea I got Dubs in 5 but majority seems to think it's a series that will go the distance or that the Rockets actually have a legit shot to win the series.

We know damn well if he were in LA and this happened it’d be open season on him lmao

 

[Kinfolk]

When was this interview?

Within the last 7 days.

PG ain’t been good but Russ has been awful. No reason for him to shoulder all of the blame.

No need to bring non playoff teams into this

 

[you go boy]

i think dubs will take it... it can go 6-7 still not sure on that lol... but i see it being close like last year... the rosters are pretty much the same just no ariza on the rockets

 

[HIM]

Im saying 6 minimum and if you give me enough Jameson I’d put money on Houston.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Russ is the one wilding and losing his matchup, he should be one the one getting the majority of the blame.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

No reason for him to shoulder all of the blame.

 

[dacomeup]

You would've been blaming Bron.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

You would've been blaming Bron.

As an aside, I feel like Lebby got off light his year for missing the playoffs, in relative terms. Thought it’d be a lot more slander tbh

Sorry for non playoff talk

 

[MVP]

Dangerous for the league
