**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[3god]

Why these fools on Inside keep saying 72 games... they won 73.

 

[freeze]

I'm ready for kill mode kurry on Friday.

 

[P C H]

This is it

 

[danikerhino]

Even more confident that MIL wins it all now.

They have a chance, thought let's not write Toronto off. They might wear them out.

I'm so ****ing mad at James right now man

Brody that’s how many of us felt about steph after games 3 and 4

james finna bounce back at home in game 6 and refs gonna **** around and call every thing

 

[MVP]

I'm not confident in Steph at all. I'm hoping I'm wrong but I think the Rockets win rather easily on Friday.

 

[atlsfinest]

This is it

OK Houston, this is your shot. Durant is likely out for the series and Chris Paul is healthy. If you guys lose this series, I never want to hear about being robbed again. The Warriors pretty much have two and a half reliable players for the remainder of the series. The Rockets have the talent edge from here on out. You're not the underdog anymore, you're the favorite. Get it done.

Rockets remind me of the Gill/Perrantes/Brogdon UVA teams.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Someone got to clean all that

Barkley expression .

Game 6 has potential to end like game 6 of the 2017 series against the Spurs, where kawhi missed that game and the rockets proceeded to not show up at home.

No KD to depend on this friday, playing for a berth to the WCF, opportunity to put the nail in the coffin for a team on their home court, chance to put the world back on notice that you’re the unanimous MVP

ready for Steph Flurry on super saiyan high off sensu beans. Im here for it

MVP Steph was 3-4 years ago. He’s 31 now with many more miles on him. Still a very good player but I don’t think he is the MVP caliber player he used to be. Maybe I’m mistaken, we shall see, but I haven’t seen it in awhile.

 

[3god]

This dude Kyrie said "it's no time to be sad". WTF?! YALL LOST, BE MAD!!!

WTF!? He said disappointed, NOT sad... stop making **** up.

I think this is a different Rockets team, I don’t see that happening, but after they lost tonight I wouldn’t put it past them.

 

[danikerhino]

He should be disappointed too, how does that make it better?!

If Steph doesn't step up this game I'm done with him

Game 6 has potential to end like game 6 of the 2017 series against the Spurs, where kawhi missed that game and the rockets proceeded to not show up at home.

This is exactly what will happen

 

[danikerhino]

It's because we acquired KD.

 

[3god]

He should be disappointed too, how does that make it better?!

He got asked a dumb *** question. Probably replied with the opposite just to spite the question.

Oh it's possible, I just don't see it as likely. Dubs are running in fumes as it is.

It looked like a genuine answer to me because he continued with talking about decompressing and enjoying time with his fam. It was a telling answer to me.

 

[danikerhino]

He's probably a Warrior fan seeing as he played for Cal.

Outliers happen. Klay/ Dray / Steph could have a historic game 6 and the rockets could lay an egg. Player x (Cook, someone) could have a great game.

That being said, the Rockets HAVE to win Friday. I mean, the playoffs, at home, healthy, the Warriors were depleted depth wise before and that was with KEVIN ******* DURANT.

The margin of error for the rockets is SO MUCH LARGER now w/o KD that even if the aforementioned were to happen the rockets still should win. The Warriors had six playable players WITH KD. They have two scorers now, one of which can't dribble. On the other end, they lost their best defender against James Harden which should be series. Jerebko, Livingston, Cook, Bogut, I mean...come on bro.

The Rockets should win, rather easily. If not...
