**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[Maximus Meridius]

Name someone defending Steph for that trash last night. Or the bad game 3s the past two finals. Or the 2015 finals when he was bad

We don’t. He was bad. He needs to be better

Cool but we can't act like Steph is the first all time great to get nitpicked.


**** been happening long before him.

Who said he couldn’t get nitpicked though. He’s the best PG ever, it’s expected.

Let’s just not say he’s been underwhelming when his playoff numbers rank with the all time greats

 

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

Wow, you really comparing stats? I was talking about accomplishments and killer instincts and by the way, Kobe has an MVP, 5 rings and 2 finals MVPs,

Kobe Playoff killer instinct level (maximum score of 100):
Kobe: 90
Steph: 60

any questions?

Like Steph isn’t a 2x MVP, on his way to Ring #4. He’s gonna have a chance at a FMVP. Kobe didn’t win any FMVP until 2009!nba finals.

And for somebody that you call "the PG ever" he got too many ghost games and most likely still woon't win a FMVP.

2017?

He's talking about pre-KD.

 

[d nice]

I knew ya'll were clowns when dudes were saying Curry was better than Magic. GS gonna have reckoning if KD leaves this summer.

 

[wavycrocket]

He's talking about pre-KD.

. Y’all remember December 2016...when the Cavs beat the Warriors....where the whole sports world thought it was “even” up until game 1 of the finals?

They then got smoked. And Steph averaged 27/9/8 in the finals.

No they didn't. GS was -250 going into that series. There were like 5 ESPN guys outta 28 that picked the Cavs which is less than picked them the previous finals. Y'all Bistephuals love making up narratives.

 

[nickname.esco]

You got any clips showing this?

Nah just memories from last night.

I just really don’t like Chris Paul and James Harden.

The flopping. The acting. The foul calls.
They low key soccer players with the antics.

I thought this was a joke at first until I looked at his posts and realized he's serious.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Ohhh I missed the playoff killer instinct metrics

 

[pmpdaddyrobford]

Robert Horry has 7 rings

You must be using the basketball reference formula for KIL. NBA.com has Kobe at 42 and Steph at 51

Leading UP to the finals. It was like stages of grief. Remember all those memes with LeBron with the stocking cap, smoking a fug?

As @VARNELL HILL eloquently said on the page posted above...”get it all out now. Y’all will be hurt come June”

But you made the assumption that I am somehow biased against KD.

Why on earth would you come to that conclusion? Because I said he will never be in the conversation for best in the history of the game

EYE support all players from my area. Check my posting history, I am sure I bring up the fact that a playwr IS from my area more than anyone else does with their hometown other than maybe wavycrocket and his BMORE mob.

I respect you’re from the area and support those from there, but qualifying your stance because of that is not relevant. I used the word bias because we all have our biases. Objectively looking at this point, KD has all the potential to be up near the top of the list 5-7 years from now. Are you saying no chance because he went to the Warriors? That is another thing I would strongly disagree with.

What website did you use to look this up? Basketball reference has Kobe's playoff killer instinct level at a 77

 

[addict4sneakers]

I wonder what Kobe’s KIL was in game 7 against the suns when he stopped shooting?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

No they didn't. GS was -250 going into that series. There were like 5 ESPN guys outta 28 that picked the Cavs which is less than picked them the previous finals. Y'all Bistephuals love making up narratives.

Steph fans be straight up lying about stuff

So you don't actually have anything that showed them celebratings as if they won a ring? Cool
You could have simply said you don't like CP3 and Harden

 

[sohi 23]

Bruh we all know the warriors are winning the title. Just like we’ve known for the past 4 years.

Let people get their jokes off and slander Curry after bad performances. It’s not a big deal

He’s gunna have the last laugh again but the jokes are gunna keep flying when Durant gets the Finals MVP again.

Again, I didn't bring up being from the area until you accused me of being biased. No other reason. But we can kill that point(less).

I don't think KD will be in the running because of the GSW years, yes. His rings came after he joined a previously dominant team. That essentially disqualifies him from THAT discussion unless he wins a lot post GSW , and you can never count on that happening.

He will finish Top 2/3 at his position mixed in with Bird.


But on a consensus level, he will not be in the GOAT argument

Curry looks defeated

Gordon this series - 24ppg 52%FG 41%3pt

Needed this from Gordon that first half of the season was ROUGH for him
