**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[ill steelo]

The 3pt margin the Rockets are outshooting the Warriors by isn’t sustainable .

I mean Houston is among the league leaders in attempts, the warriors only have 3 shooters and Kerr is running them 45 minutes each game.

On top of that, those shooters were streaky in this matchup just last year, and one of them in particular has been (extremely) streaky to so far in this playoff run.

Add all of that up and they very well could continue to be out-gunned.

Giannis

30/12/5/1/1 on 51/47/68 splits.

The new king

 

[pums]

Houston also at the top at 3 point defense.

 

[leavemeglazzies]

Interesting....

Those numbers don't tell the whole story. They only tell the whole story for the shots they actually managed to take, which isn't always the case...

Wednesday, Bucks getting to the ECF and I’m getting my 50?

Brown and Tatum are role players that played like superstars last year.

Maybe that's Kyrie's fault maybe not

Myrie’s 37/24/90 splits sure ain’t helping. Granted he can’t do anything about Giannis but he’s been bad this series and that’s not including all the season long shenanigans

 

[blastercombo]

Next year Boston will dub GH their savior. We know why

 

[kilroythedon]

LOL... funny but absolutely true.

 

[JPS]

Warriors by 30 next game.

I have like 3 Bucks dudes getting on me for doubting the squad.

I’m glad you’re rebounding from those piss poor decisions you made in the finals last year

Gordon Hayward. 26 minutes. 2 points. -11 plus/minus

You hate to see it.

You hate to see it.

Son also supposed to be a star but gets none of the Kyrie flack

 

[storm2006]

Interesting....

Don’t do this, man. It’s a new day.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Kyrie should consider a haircut

 

[addict4sneakers]

Hayward been up and down all season. If you want to slander him, sure have at it.

Kyrie is getting out played by George Hill. The Cavs traded him for hotdog and a playoff Knick pass

The city of Boston is learning the meaning of “sometimes it be ya own”.

Hmmmmm I wonder why that is......

[JD617]

He’s become a scapegoat because they know he’s leaving.

...or because he's completely **** the bed in this series. The moodiness, negativity, and bizarre delusional quotes are a lot easier to deal with when he balls on the court. Not so much when he shoots 37% from the field and 24% on threes when the team needs him most. He's not the only problem, but he's certainly been one of the biggest. They needed more from their best player, and he's severely underperformed. He can bounce back of course (Lillard was worse in the playoffs last year and look at him now) but right now the criticism is fair. He hasn't backed up his words.
