I'm not hurting I know that'd make your bottom feeder self happy but sorry.

I have issues with a few things none of which anyone wants to read so I gave the raptors credit
Which I did before the series even began

Maybe not 3 peating isn't hurting

Hoping 2 overrated cacs stay healthy and maybe one day make us relevant again is


Stay blessed

Who the 2 overated cats?

Mostly dudes aren't healthy but that's ok

And Kerr has been out coached by nurse by a shit ton

Nobody will focus on those things

When this is over i need you to ginally unleash and give a detailed unbiased examination and breakdown on why you think Kerr is not one of the grestest coaches of all time.

Sidebar

And why Brad Stevens is also not as genius as advertised

I am pissed GS isn't fairing well in this series, but kawhi and Toronto's coaching is special. I never heard of box+1 until vangundy mentioned it.

^^^^

I knew what it was when i SAW it but never knew what it was called.

If i had the wherewithal i always had a concept to have a show that taught that stuff to casual fans for every major sport.

Steph sacrificed so much to appease KD so that he could win back to back Finals MVPs to help his fractured ego + and KD pays him back by sabotaging the team like this :smh: Everyone knows when you stack a team with 5 all stars and then remove one it's fucking impossible to recover from. KD put Curry in a fucked up situation :smh:

Not buying that narrative, Steph and Klay played pre-Durant Warriors basketball the last series and folks weren’t saying shit. Why now is it Durant’s fault?

The Warriors are losing the same way they lost to Cleveland in 16. Toronto like Cleveland is playing good defense and getting great contribution from there role players.

The Warriors are missing a scorer that can bring an additional 15-20 pts. KD brought 25-30, that was why they were impossible to beat. We would’ve stomped the shit out of Toronto with a healthy Durant.

Lastly, KD was never close to being ready. The media put out a false narrative that he would be available this series, and that’s the crux of the problem.

It's just white man shit.
That's all it is. tinkering with shit that isn't broken. Last night run the offense through steph warriors lead
run the offense through anyone but steph warriors don't lead
houston run the offense through anyone but steph warriors lose
run the offense through steph and say fuck it warriors win
portland he ran the offense through steph 4 straight games.

its not rocket science but he makes it out to be.

I've been on BOTH sides of 3-1 up and down
I ain't giving up on the team and by the sound of them they not giving up either.
So let's see what happens.

Like I was telling cats who were talking all that “THIS IS GONNA BE BORING”, “NOBODY WANNA WATCH THIS” comments, this is WHY THEY PLAY GAME. Anybody that really watches sports knows anything can happen. This series has been really good, this last game has brought a lot of talk but i’ll tell you now it’s not over. Monday nights game is gonna be exciting because the Raptors wanna close it out and the Warriors are a championship team and not gonna roll over and let them beat them

Just watched the highlights, that seemed like an amazing game. The Raptors just got HOT in the 3rd and continued into the 4th

Champ still the champs until they are not. Warriors body language was defeating last night during the game.

Raptors are showing good poise in staying focused.

This remind me of when the Spurs knocked out the Heat in 5.

This have to be deja vu all over again for Leonard. Familiar territory.


It's not body language its a myriad of things out of their control which a lot of people who trumpeted it for one side should be doing now.
From what I saw after the game the belief is still there. Will they physically be able to do it I'm going to believe until its over

Agree with everything else you said :yes:... but iono bout the red part. :dunno:

The Raptors swept The Warriors during the regular season (2-0) this year.... with KD on the floor in both games.

Nov. 29, 2018 - Raptors 131, Warriors 128 (OT)
Curry did not play in this game, but Durant dropped 51 points in this loss.

Dec. 12, 2018 - Raptors 113, Warriors 93
Curry did play in this game... and Durant dropped 30 points in this game.... and they still got 'blown out' by 20 points.

Raptors are 5-1 against the Warriors so far.... for the entire season.

Just saying.

I was speaking of "during" the game, not post game. I'm sure they still believe.

The dropping of their head during made shots, lack of detail on the defensive end, and lack of intensity. Body language was way off.

What the Raptors did to them late in the game if what I have seen the Warriors do to teams over the last 5 years.

I think Philly wouldve fared well in the Finals. Toronto needed a Game 7 buzzer beater to get by them and they did the best job defensively against them. Much better than you guys this series.

So are we gonna talk about why both of these teams would have a good chance and in the case of Toronto is in control of the series or no?

Nah.

Regular season doesn't matter

The warriors play half speed during the regular season this is all playoff nothing to read into

Rockets were 3-1 in the regular season and Portland was 2-2


Regular season is whatever not indicative of what happens in the playoffs

Circumstances are different for both teams

Its weird to me how things are being judged

Not in your assessment
Just in the face of all the caveats that are a direct cause of this

True. :yes:

But the BIG difference between the Rockets & Blazers (this year).... and this Toronto team is... the Raptors have many more guys who have solid NBA Playoffs (and Finals) experience.
So the 'pressure' of the Playoffs/Finals would (adversely) affect The Rockets & Blazers waaaay more than the Raptors.

If the Raptors were full of 'Playoff newbies'... then yeah, the regular season would not be indicative of the Finals. At all.
So you got to 'factor that in', somehow. :dunno:

Because it's not like Golden State is the ONLY team on the floor with several players who have (real / deep) Finals experience, in this situation.

Just saying.
