**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[chrisftdot]

Gasol doesnt get enough credit either for this Finals run.

Whole Raptor team is one most disciplined teams I've seen. Everyone knows their role, the defense is A1. Just a bunch of high IQ players with 1 superstar.

They kinda remind me of the 2011 Mavericks, who relied on their defence.
They have one superstar in Kawhi, a couple great players past their prime, and some solid role-players.
The 2011 Mavericks had some crazy depth.

True. But this is Steph we're talking about. The GOAT PG of all time. Elevated praise means elevated play. He's not the 1st star to be double teamed.



Hmmm.... but just a couple days ago you said the following. NOW, it's well he was getting double and triple teamed.
Is it Oochie Wally Wally or is it One Mic?

All I did was post a picture.



I live rent free in your head

welp. next years west conference champs just became a lock. AD to the lakers

 

[chrisftdot]

That might be one of the most creative championship rings I've ever seen.
All the other ones are too corny, or too blinged-out.

That’s a dope ring right there!!

As I wrote several pages back:

Offense wins games, defense wins championships!

 

[Nipsey3000]

Funny how the narrative of this series changed game to game.

Before game 1 this was supposed to be a 5 game series for gsw at best even without Durant

Indeed, and to think the Raptors could've swept.

we gonna see Steph Curry shrink right in front of our very eyes next season when teams can just double and triple team him every game since he will have no one to rely on

far from a Curry fan...but didn't you just aknowledge his greatness admitting he commands almost a triple team every possession?

He's not that good

 

[ninjahood]

BI/Zo/Kuz..Kawhi has to know the raptors won't beat them

we shall see now....

 

[ninjahood]

He's not that good

he's great, da words that would better describe him is a one trick pony, but his one trick is game breaking elite...that said idk why Klay Thompson was always treated as da Luigi of da Splash Bros, when i always thought he was more well rounded than Steph.

Regardless his team is *** cheeks so you can afford to double and triple team him when he is forced to pass to draymond green or Alfonso mckinnie

Chill fam... in no way is klay Thompson better than Steph Curry

 

[ahat]

Overall?

There's definitely a strong argument there

 

[SneakerProSr.]

In no way?

He ain't better at defense by light years?

 

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

So is AD a snake for forcing his way out of New Orleans or is that only for Kevin Durant?

What’s the phrase I’m looking for? Keep the Same Energy?

Lakers came back from 3-1 against the Pels?

Got to keep moving them goal post. He forced his way out to be with lebron. That’s snake behavior. Keep that same energy.

 

[abematic]

KD the only player, aside from Ray, that jumped shipped after being jumped by rival gangs and This resulting into joining said rival gang.

Maybe that beat down was the initiations

AD, nah. He didn’t get jumped.
He just got an OG that wanted him to benefit himself and the OG himself + their leading member

 

[aepps20]

Durant was too busy sizing up his GSW Jersey in games 6 and 7 than actually playing to win.

Of course the neighborhood goof doesn't get it.
