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

I'm saying if its to not reward the player for taking a cheap foul when there are no defenders behind him then that's a clear path foul.
Either you have to defend a 1 on 1 fast break or you can just get rewarded for not trying
If it was Steph in the same situation I'd have no problem with the call cause that's how it's called.
I do also see the trailing and then grabbing to stop the fast break as being a more definitive clear path foul
but more times than not on those they don't even call it if they grab them quick enough see what i mean?
Just be consistent. either way.

I hear you and you’re right, I just think the intent to the rule is different and I don’t think it applied in the case.

But yes Dame did use a cheap foul to stop him from scoring.
 


Damn. The most amazing thing here is Shaq and Kobe doing that shit on the same team.

The sacrifice dominant players make playing together is so underappreciated. Shaq and KD win the finals MVPs, so people pretend the other players are just along for the ride. If Kobe didn't win titles after Shaq, fools would have acted like he didn't have any. It's nice to see Curry disproving the myth and putting up numbers to show his greatness.
 
Theres a reason why this nigga was dam near broke and in debt to Vegas casinos a few years back.

I believe Lebron told him he NEEDED that TNT shit if I'm not mistaken

He did. Skip Bayless recently recounted the story in great detail on the worst damn sports show period.



(I hope LeBron has grown enough to know that was foul and a gross overreaction.)
 
I feel like First Round Clippers gave the Warrriors the best challenge in these playoffs

I really wonder who the Clippers are going to get this offseason. Just based off of existing talent and cap potential, they seem like a potential top five team next year.

They seem like the top "add a player" situation... But if you're a free agent who cares about winning, you'd be better off with one of the less talented Eastern conference teams.

My DVR picked this up because I have it set to record all NBA playoff games...



Did anybody catch this? Who in the world, outside of family members and extremely close friends of the anchors, would tune in to watch an ESPN2 broadcast with people's heads in the way over the real broadcast on ESPN?

I'm genuinely curious about and interested in the decision to put this on the air. I could argue ESPN would have been better off just going with dead air on the sister network, or at least airing a non-basketball 30 for 30 re-run.
 
let's talk about it


Ray Allen is the only scoring guard on this list. Steve Nash was a true PG that wasnt known for big scoring performances. The rest are big men that played in the lowest scoring era of basketball. And once again SCORING is used to quantify Steph's worth as a POINT GUARD. Thats why I call him a combo guard and say he should be compared to the AIs, Wades, etc but no one will or does. Im more impressed by his double digit assists last night than him scoring big on Lillard and his little brother this series.
 
regardless of the sweep this still was a good series. every game was close. when the playoffs started i was picking the bucks to win it all cause of their depth....now the warriors getting production from their bench....so right now its just push. this warriors team is more efficient and funner to watch tho....sorry kd..lol

Guess you missed game one... But Games 2, 3 and 4 were entertaining cause the Warriors let the Blazers feel good about themselves in the first half and snatched their souls in the 2nd half. Last night they waited until the 4th.

Naaaaaaaah



If this list was immediately used to describe LeBron's dominance this entire paragraph wouldn't exist

So

Naaaaaaaah.
 
37 points 13 rebounds 11 assists against Dame Time in his building for the sweep to go to the finals.
holla at me



Since they've arrived

Let's remind them real quick

Cause he's not a point guard
Even tho as soon as the coach uses him as the point guard he averaged
36.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.3 assists a night against the cats you said we're right there with him


Dame and cj only averaged 7ppg a game combined more than Steph did

Dame and cj only scored 31 more points for the entire series than he did combined


You hate to see it
 
Naaaaaaaah

Naaaaaaaah.

When LeBron dominated a conference finals like that cats point out his weak comp. We start hearing about "Afro Wigs", how Lowry is a bum, or how the 60 win Hawks are proof the East sucks. Steph puts up big numbers on his lil bro in a non competitive forgettable sweep and no ones questioning the comp or throwing the Western Conference under the bus. Yawn.

Let's not front afro wigs team is literally doing better than him now that he's not there

I never slighted LeBron
But you always try to slight curry

Again when they said ok all of our players are being injured and you're facing the cat who ate pg and Westbrook lunch
Who just won game 7 on the road .

You gotta face those 2 and try to get it done

Their bench is better this their year

He said ok

36.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.3 assists
Will that do?

Bron haters love telling you his dominance was due to weak comp but GSW down 3 starters essentially and routing cats. Nobody saying the west trash with a chicken nuggets 2 seed tho.
