NBA 2018-2019 playoffs thread...finals is set..”Warriors vs Raptors 2-4” Raptors win the title!!!

[Big Tex]

Last night was the best I seen Harden play without him fishing for fouls...

Nah, in last years series that we wre up 3-2 once he was getting no calls he just started busting their ass. In fact, I wish he would do it more to shut people up. The nigga avereaged over 40 points a game for a decent stretch this year getting 8 fts a night. You don’t do that off calls. Even if you shoot 100% from the line, that mean you’re laying 32 a night on niggas without any help from calls.

That’s why you cats are ridiculous. Only about 20% of his points come at the ft line. 80% come from him hitting shots, but let niggas tell it all he does is flop and gets 90% of his points from the line. It’s mad disrespectful but that’s the press he gets.

Fix your face. Levert was leading the team in scoring and was the best player prior to being hurt. Dlo stepped up and made the all-star team in his place

The Lakers had homecourt in the first round based on November projections. It is very silly to project a few weeks into a big projection like "playoff-caliber team" or "all-star" or "MVP" candidate.

That's some nasty shit. I missed that close up last night.

It's easy to get tired of hearing about a lot of guys being hurt but a lot of guys get hurt regularly, especially the guys playing 3/4 of the game. We can factor that in without invalidating the results.

Can't compare a player and a team. Levert showed at the beginning and in the playoffs he was atleast a fringe all star player

Steph Curry has laid eggs both games of this series. Has laid eggs 3 of last 5 games hes played... And no one seems to care. Name another top 10 player that would get such a luxury. #StayWoke

He hasn't been shooting well
But he has been doing the other things well sans 1 game
Rebounding assists and actual defense too.

Coupled with Durant balling out he's done what you and everyone else complain about Westbrook not doing
Which is when the shots aren't falling he's not taking 30 of them while other capable scorers are in a groove to fuck up the game for stats.

 

[BDR]

Nah. Houston turned the ball over too much. The Rockets didn’t get calls against the warriors last year either and if Paul didn’t get hurt we were sending them home.

Nah y’all lost because GS put the clamps on Houston out the gate last night

Y’all lost last yeah because y’all missed 27 3s in a row...

Its ok to say hes laying eggs bro. It really is.

You know what's wild, if you take away his free throw makes per game he still lead the league in scoring.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

It's also ok to acknowledge my point as well.

When he's not engaged you know for a fact I say he's playing like trash so i say it on here as well

His shot isn't dropping and he isn't forcing them either which is what you're supposed to do.
Take "good" ones not hijack the offense for the sake of simply scoring

And it really comes down to strategy clippers employed and now rockets which is if he has it double team and especially trap him don't show and go on pick and rolls

And rightfully he passes the ball to the roller cause...that's what you're supposed to do

Can you acknowledge that or nah?

 

[Llano]

Like I said earlier, Harden alone can't beat GS even if he matches or passes KD's output. CP3 gotta come with it along with Capela

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

Shaq crybaby ass still salty about last night lol

 

[jack walsh13]

Nuggets got some cool uniforms

Which is why the narrative that he just flops and shoots free throws is tired and lame.

 

[Big Tex]

This nigga here

He averages 36 points a game and 8fts a game. How can you average 36 points a game off 8 free throws. I’ll wait.

Passing the ball and deferring due to defensive scheme has nothing to do with shooting 40% and below in postseason play. The guy laid eggs in 3 of 5.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Oh and yeah....worst 2 seed ever. I remember.

You still remember faggett?


Hold that L.

He's not shooting below 40% for the post season even with the change.
and as for the rest that's your opinion. it's fine.

The Rockets biggest problem will always be TO. Until they learn to handle the ball they will never beat GS.

Are you going to say this every time they lose a game? Cool. Well you got 3 more wishes. Hopefully they come true for you

Not wishes. Just observations. If you can remark after a home win against a lower seed why cant i for a home loss against the same team?

Put some context on your post B.. what Durant shooting from the field verses Harden

Harden 18/47 FG, 7/32 3pt = 21%, 21/23 FTA
Durant 20/47 FG, 4/9 3pt = 44%, 20/25 FTA

I remark because even though my squad is a 2 seed they do not get the respect of a 2 seed. Nobody expected them to make it out of the first round. Nobody expects them to make it out this round. They are the most disrespected 2 seed ever and all I want them to do is make it to the WCF. That's it. Show folks that they are legit as I know they are. People don't get a chance to watch them so yes I celebrate their wins on a NATIONAL stage. Hell this is deemed the 4th best series of the 2nd round. The WCF will be "anti-climactic" if they make it. I will take my wins where I can get them as a fan. If they don't make it out of this round, I'm proud they showed heart and that's big for the future. We Michael Porter Jr in the wings waiting to make that splash too. I'm just excited about my team and I will talk shit to anyone who thinks they are overrated.

No context needed. No matter how you slice it they got the same points on the same field goal attempts. My post was about the Rockets "others" needing to step up.

It’s weed so what but the fact he tried to smuggle it in those of those hidden compartment cans
