The Official 2019 NBA Finals Thread

[BonesJones]

Toronto’s defence is at another level. They’ve held every opponent in the playoffs well below their season and post-season averages. Portland? Well Portland’s defence is shit - cuz the Blazers have a fucktard for a coach. No capacity to learn and get better. Truly the sign of a great coach like so many in here think. Smh

I just love how result-based their defense is. "We made the WCF!!". Where was the results-based thinking last year when we got swept? "Oh, bad matchup. Unlucky".

 

[BonesJones]

I hope Stotts is watching this game. Raptors are running a clinic on how to beat the trap with the pass.

 

[BonesJones]

Hoping the Raptors don't Blazer it.

 

[BonesJones]

Raptors are getting great shots on every single possession.

I wish we ran offense like this. I wish we had a Nick Nurse.

HUGE difference

Honest question to Stotts defenders... Do you seriously think Toronto would be playing such a great style of offensive basketball like they are now with Terry Stotts as their head coach...?

Also Toronto has great length at every position with the exception of PG. That certainly helps when defending long players like Thompson. Gotta admit, Ujiri has done an amazing job constructing this team.

They have Kawhi and Ibaka and Gasol. Defensive Players of the Year types. A fucktard coach would look better with those guys.

That's the thing - We're prone to droughts because we're prone to stretches where we're stagnant and get terrible shot after terrible shot.

Toronto had a mini-drought, but they were getting great shots so Golden State wasn't even able to get it to single-digits. Toronto knowing how to play elite defense helped as well.

The Warriors offense doesn’t look too good. Kerr must have forgotten how to coach last week.

Lowry > Curry

Lowry > Curry

Ha

 

[BigGameDamian]

And Curry's still acting like he's all that & a bag of chips.

 

[HailBlazers]

Only Warriors fans would leave before a Finals game is over

 

[joeBlazers]

Anyone enjoying the Stotts extension? I would have fired Stotts and hired someone from "We The North".

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Did you forget He-At fans?

 

[calvin natt]

And Curry's still acting like he's all that & a bag of chips.

He’s averaging 29-6-6.

 

[joeBlazers]

Stotts has been trying to out-gun the Warriors for 12 playoff games. And we gave him an extension !!!

 

[joeBlazers]

Zasha Pachula is responsible for the Warriors Dynasty. Can we say it now with certainty?

 

[HailBlazers]

Siakam, so good.

 

[trailblazer18]

Toronto is simply balling out. I love seeing the warriors with no answer.

 

[joeBlazers]

Zach Collins better be watching Pascal Boumtje Boumtje

Siakam, so good.

If you are Neil Olshey and have a chance to trade for Kwahi but you don’t know if he will sign long term, do you do the trade?

 

[joeBlazers]

NO. Unless you fire Stotts first.
Because you need a coach who actually believes in Defense.

If you are Neil Olshey and have a chance to trade for Kwahi but you don’t know if he will sign long term, do you do the trade?

 

[Hoopguru]

Anyone enjoying the Stotts extension? I would have fired Stotts and hired someone from "We The North".

I do.
We the Northwest!

 

[joeBlazers]

Stotts has hit his ceiling.

I do.
We the Northwest!

 

[tester551]

If you are Neil Olshey and have a chance to trade for Kwahi but you don’t know if he will sign long term, do you do the trade?

With out a doubt. If you truly believe in the organization & culture you believe that you can re-sign him after he sees the team up close

 

[speeds]

Un-fucking-real.

 

[Titan]

I wonder if the warriors used up all their comebacks against us in the WCF?

 

[BonesJones]

I'm so hyped for Toronto
