**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[degenerate423]

Portland to finals...

Make it light on yourself. I’ll take GSW to smoke y’all.

 

[Tony $now]

Steph disappointing me man. I need to see that MVP swag he played with. Since KD been there, he and Klay are basically muted versions of themselves outside of games they go crazy. It’s tough to watch. Something Steph isn’t even looking to shoot the ball. And Klay probably high out of his mind half the time .

Draymond finally took the backpack off too
KD is a cheat code

 

[shotsrangout]

if houston cant take gsw to 7, portland is done in 5..

 

[tay1]

TBH, Harden didn't have enough space to land.
But then again, the way he's flailing his legs at the end doesn't look natural.
So I'm good with a no call.
But he def got fouled earlier with Klay.

He purposely flails his legs to give the illusion of contact. It should be a no call everytime.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

He has no reason to leave except to appease other people. I dont see why he does it

If it's to the Knicks...I'll buy it as it being a childhood dream or something. Kind of Lebron and the Lakers.

I'm not buying the idea that it's to appease "fans" and "fix his legacy" The same fans that are going to call him all sorts of BANs if he doesn't get it done wherever he goes. ****** don't care about his legacy...they just want him off THAT team.

Is there a more useless job than Steve Javie's?

Steve Kerr’s

???? without KD them dudes losing by 20 today

 

[Nipsey3000]

If you think Harden is getting fouled because of the defender giving no landing space, watch the replay. Harden clearly jumps up but sticks his legs forward to create contact. Good no call by the refs.

+1

But there were 5-6 others that were clear fouls that weren't called

You dont need a yard+ of landing space unless you are sprinting down the court.

Wasnt that team for him the Raptors though? I really can't see a real basketball reason to leave GSW

 

[FreshLeeLA]

GSW had 20+ turnovers, Stephen & Klay played average, and Rockets still lost

How’s Capela gonna have a trash *** game after puffing his chest and calling out GSW

With each Russ exit and KD leading the warriors despite Steph struggles, his legacy continues to cement itself. He's the one with the MVP chants. He's carrying the team when they are struggling.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

he touched the ref you blind?

I thought he did, CP3 didn't even make a fuss about the ejection. He knew it was warranted

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Too bad prime Kobe wasn't playing today. He would put an immediate end to all of Harden's gimmicks.

Curry = Capt. Marvel

Show up when your teams smashin and add the final touch

One of these reporters HAS to bring this up to him .

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I get it, but you can't make tech calls that late unless it's wild flagrant.

So we put the responsibility on the individual that reacts and not the one that does the initial action

Players just have to do better man, can't put that on the refs

Houston didn't shoot the ball well either.

stop talking bout the movie man

we were told that houston's 5 days of rest vs warriors' 1 day of rest was supposed to be a difference maker. yet with all that extra rest, harden still shoots 9-28 and 4-16 from 3 while foul hunting. yet the narrative of the game is how terrible the refs were for houston.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Harden with another classic playoff moment. 9/28 and 4/16.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Tim Donaghy and the 2002 Kings would disagree.

Players and coaches win and lose games.

As a coach you can't ever put the blame on the ref, as if your team did EVERYTHING possible to win/lose.
