**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[Maximus Meridius]

Not every finals series is built the same



Magic's finals numbers for his first two FMVP's were.... cool

Stop


Magic avg 21/11/9 on 57 FG% and 87% FT. Those are more than "cool". And had 45/15/7 in the close out game. At 20 years old.

Ray Allen really is that much better than curry and if you don’t think that... you don’t really watch basketball.

Sometimes you need posts like this to remind you that this thread is crazy and is a hotbed for hottakes, so you gotta ignore some ****

 

[Based Jesus]

Excuse me? This a joke lol?

He can't be talking about Walter. Must be another Ray Allen only he knows about.

Can you explain using an actual argument?

 

[Kingof402]

Ray Allen was better than Steph. Gotta agree there

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Steph isn't that good You see.
Casual fans make the narratives .
Yet when they win it isn't fair. my point been made.
Thank you Kilroy and kingof402

1 on 1 in their primes Ray would cook steph. Has the same ability as shooters, but Ray would physically punish Steph. Ray was a better defender and rebounder.

This Raps game can't start soon enough

Lowry and the bench gonna show up today or what?

 

[Kingof402]

Milwaukee Ray would Cook today’s Steph no question

 

[lightweight champion]

He quit?

So it is that simple.

It is black and white, if he leaves, he quits?

I am just trying to figure out your logic here.

Also, did LeBron initially quit on CLE?
Did KG quit on MINN?

Where does it start/Stop?

LeBron quit on Cleveland the first time.
KG didn’t quit on Minnesota. He didn’t want to be traded to Boston but eventually agreed to it.

Here's the deal, if Steph isn't surrounded by two-way players such as KD, Dray, Klay, and Iggy, then Steph becomes a liability esp if his shooting hand ain't hot. The fact that KD, Klay, Iggy, and Dray can all play lockdown D, is exactly why the Warriors are championship caliber and why Steph's deficiencies often get overlooked.

I love the slander as much as anyone else, but ya'll wilding now.

I guess my question is when can a star player leave his current team and it NOT be considered "quitting."

Or if a star player voluntarily leaves, it is automatically quitting?

Keep it to Free Agency.

Kyrie needs to take more deep 3's.

You follow Nate Jones on twitter?

I mean, Ray Allen would cook anyone, but I don't think THAT was the statement in question

You drinking bleach

 

[Lovetohate3000]

People forget Steph was taking San Antonio to six with David Lee and baby Klay in the starting lineup. Before Klay was an all star. They swear Steph career started in 2015

I tell y'all people actually believe this .
So we need to give KD props cause curry ain't even that good.
Ray Allen better then him and Ray Allen was never first option on contender type good consistently.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Rudy gay Derrick white and Jakob poetl is a better package for AD than anything the celtics have to offer

 

[Mark Antony]

Ray Allen is better than Steph is a hot take, but people do forget just how good Ray Allen was because they only remember his later Celtic/Heat years not when he was with the Bucks. Even that should be applauded how he extended his career while still being effective.

 

[amitt5504]

So if Siakam doesn’t go, will Nurse got big with Ibaka and just put in Powell?

Going with Ibaka allows the Raps to put him on Simmons and Kawhi on Jimmy with Lowry on Harris and Green on Redick but that kills their back up C depth

I would slap steph curry if he was in my presence but ray allen being better than curry is a YIKES!!!!!!!! hot take

 

[antidope]

Wow Ray Allen better than Steph.
