[Hey]

Curry didn't have all time great shooters alongside him, the Raptors sold out to stop him. Then he looked just as hesitant and bad as Dame did.

Dame is not the problem. Passing out of double teams to Harkless and Aminu is the problem. I don't think Steph choked, he just got schemed like Dame did.

NO ran that similar defense on him last year

I'm actually happy to see guys like Marc Gasol and Jeremy Lin get rings

 

[riverman]

Raps played great defense....

This is why we need big upgrades at small forward and power forward, Aminu and Harkless are so bad on offense, it's so ugly to watch both

I find it so odd how many "Blazer fans" are so excited about another team winning a championship...

Really?

Like really?

Golden state lost. That's why people are rooting.

But you know what? I like the Raptors. There isn't a player on the team I dislike.

I like their GM, their coach, their players, their uniforms, their court.

I really like Kawhi Leonard. Don't you?

The Raptors are a likeable team.

 

[dviss1]

Dynasty is broken. Now is the time to pounce.

Do it before Giannis takes over the league

Kawhi is the dynasty stopper. Did it to LeBron'nem too.

Yeah really, dont care if GS wins or loses its not the Blazers winning.
Lakers are the only team I actively cheer against. So GS losing doesnt mean a thing to me.
In terms of Toronto, I honestly dont really have any feelings bad or good about any of them, the whole team makes me, .

 

[kjironman1]

4th quarters been weird. Ive watched most of the games. I dont for a second think this series is close if GS is healthy, but Kawhi is really freaking good.

Im impressed that GS just keeps finding ways to make it competitive.

Totally agree. Warriors with a healthy Durant and Klay win it in 5 games.

 

[trailblazer18]

I want chips and dip too!

 

[Pinwheel1]

Kawhi is the dynasty stopper. Did it to LeBron'nem too.

I wonder where he will go. Looking at the roster he is gone for sure IMO. Other than Pascal and Van Fleet they are getting old. I bet he bolts.

Curry is no better than Dame with all the defensive attention on him. In fact, Dame is better. Curry has never hit a go ahead shot in final 20 seconds of a playoff game. We all know Dame has. More than once.

He sure looked very pedestrian when faced with the pressure Lillard gets every playoff game i have seen him play. Extremely obvious.

 

[KingSpeed]

What were the preseason odds on Toronto winning the championship?

 

[illmatic99]

fuck

 

[hoopsjock]

Holy shit, torn ACL for Klay. He'll be out most of next year too.

 

[illmatic99]

how the hell did he run back and jump around?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

fuck

I wonder if playing into the finals and all those long seasons if this was like a year of attrition for them, thats brutal...

 

[Scalma]

Next year is the year. All in. No more talk about the future. No more margin acquisitions. Time to act Neil. This might be our only chance.

 

[illmatic99]

do it before Giannis takes over.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Woof, so Klay and KD will both be out till at the very earliest the all-Star break... the band is breaking up, and so are their bodies.

 

[PCmor7]

Wow.

 

[Propagandist]

I wonder how DeMar DeRozan is feeling right now. I imagine that he is experiencing some complicated emotions.

 

[illmatic99]

Dear BBall Gods, I take back my Warriors injury curse. Holy shit, I didn't wanna see this while taunting @Dubsfan

 

[hoopsjock]

I'm not worried about Giannis, especially being in the East.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

Klay’s contract situation is a lot different now... if the Warriors max him out still they could be signing their death warrant.

 

[GhostOfPGA]

I'm not worried about Giannis, especially being in the East.

Giannis is in Houston now though...

 

[hoopsjock]

Giannis is in Houston now though...
