**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[HIM]

@osh kosh bosh in rare form

I remember when he said Anthony Bennett wasn’t a bust. This was after he was out of the league already

 

[amitt5504]

Ben has to be that on ball screener in the PnR with Jimmy and Tobias. Put him in that Dray role

 

[Kingof402]

I’m sure y’all didn’t watch the games. Kawhi gave Ben no room to operate to find anyone

Sure he can sag off but that opens driving lanes for Ben to find the shooters. Nurse ain’t gonna switch up what’s been working

Ben has had a negative assist to turnover ratio playing against Kawhi

Exactly my point. Ben will be exposed against Toronto

You may be right cuz I don't recall their matchups. Still though, Green and Siakam are solid defensively too. I don't think it's fair to say it'll be more on player X or Y, they're all gonna need to make plays and put up points. Those matchups are as competitive as you could ask for

He’s already been exposed is what I’m saying lol the Raptors already know what to do and that’s to throw Kawhi on him

Our counter has to be to use Ben less as a half court ball handler but more as a screener. Yea he’s a “PG” but he’s also 6’10 240

As much as I want to see Dame rock the baby tonight, I'll take equal satisfaction in him just being calm and collective like he typically is.

Green and Siakam are no slouches either but if you know you don’t have to worry about Kawhi on your two best half court options not named Embiid, you go to it

Dame time in German Rondo’s face would be great

Denver moving the ball extremely well tonight. Especially Millsap.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Ok Gary Harris

@hardens beard weeps somewhere

 

[Thierry Henry]

Magic getting curb stomped

that's how Yahnited is gonna get ran thru by City tomorrow

 

[amitt5504]

Need these scrubs to keep this 14 point cover lol

Never forget Beasley's comment from earlier in the season: "I know I'm a starter in this league, whether it's here in Denver, or somewhere else"

 

[alchemist iq]

Brooklyn getting cooked!!!Still about 8 minutes left too.

 

[amitt5504]

Spero and GA should be TNT primary announcers going forward

Tired of CWebb, Reggie, Harlen

IMO Barton gotta get moved this summer if anyone will take the contract. Beasley needs the minutes/money and MPJ/Vanderbilt need the pt.

 

[whitemamba27]

man that spurs fan looked so sad

 

[D_eezus]

The Nets are going to need to invest in the frontcourt this summer.

D. Lo + Randle

 

[blakep267]

I think Embiid gonna eat against the Raptors, Boban too

Yup. Embiid really struggled against valencunis but ibaka does nothing against him

They have quite a bit to decide this summer

 

[bballkid11]

Announcers are horrible

I watched them. You have a good point; I was moreso referencing different strategies they could use because we haven't seen a fully healthy Sixers vs Raptors game. Just because Kawhi shuts down Ben doesn't necessarily mean he's the biggest threat. Nurse has a lot at his disposal

 

[xxpizzo]

Going out with a fight kurucs a bum

Just get this **** over with
