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

[Soul On Ice]

They'll be a $500 jeopardy question 5 years breh

 

[KingTaharqa]

I'm thinking Kawhi is just camera shy because he's pretty normal before their on

Kawhi plays up his "aloofness" and "stoicism" for his image. Its part of his brand.

 

[babydaddy]

Curry can't carry the load without kd or klay. I really think curry plays better with klay. In a different system curry is average.

 

[blackman80]

Dam, shit just got real for GS.

They might have trouble selling out seats in their new arena when both Klay & KD will be out

Damn!!..This is messed up.....Get well Klay!!

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

It did not look that bad to me man.. I think it was his left leg and it bent toward interior..I thought it was a sprain on the inside ligament. Crazy shit is Boogie is the one to get him out the game. Welvin called off the TO and told Klay to play center zone defense and they were gonna keep playing. Boogie didnt get the audible and called a TO and they got him out. Welvin was actually mad.

And of course nobody will want to hear it, but a weakened hamstring puts extra stress on the knee and acl in particular. Just a fyi..

Valid points... And I finally googled Welvin.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Loving them memes tho

Yeah man. I remember that shit like... hold up.. he's actually going to try to play... what are they doing..this dude is limping up the court...Kerr wasn't going to call a timeout.. he was just going to let him play.. they weren't giving a foul either... Boogie gave the foul like get this dude off the court..he's hurt

they were about to let this dude play with a fucking torn acl!

 

[godofwine]

With two of the top free agents Kevin Durant, ruptured Achilles oh, and Klay Thompson, torn ACL. NBA free agency is going to be a dud

everyone says he's a cool, funny dude until a camera pops up and he clams up

Boogie gave the foul like get this dude off the court..he's hurt

Boogie Cousins.. the voice of reason..

 

[850credit]

Let’s not go crazy , he a good number 2 player , van fleet and siakam had more points then him tonight
Khawi is a good number 2 super star like Anthony Davis

More to the game than points...and Anthony Davis a number 2? Check his statlines...

Glad you're not running my team!

 

[Big Tex]

And no one is saying anything about it.

He was talkative on NBA-TV tonight with Isiah, Grant Hill, and the crew....

Maybe he more comfortable around bros and not cacs

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

I've been really skeptical of all this talk of how much of a toll these finals runs take. Is a dozen basketball games a year really that much? As opposed to, say, a second round exit. Could Portland, for instance, really be better next year because they didn't play six more games spread over nearly three weeks?

All the evidence shows the impact so I'm not disputing it. It's just hard to appreciate.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Got dam, Siakam had 26 and 10?

 

[KingTaharqa]

After guaranteeing 3 straight wins when they went down 2-1, Dray's words ring hollow. Let his "owner" max him out first before he speculates their future.

 

[World B Free]

Maybe he more comfortable around bros and not cacs

Lol...maybe...

 

[World B Free]

Kawhi at the presser....

 

[CORNBREAD]

 

[FLoss]

I called acl right away... that's usually acl when it bends to the side like that..just snaps it.

Same leg as the hammy.

 

[tallblacknyc]

Got dam, Siakam had 26 and 10?

Yeah he had an underrated good series... Him and ibaka

 

[AllUniverse17]

The NBA schedule is not a problem.

Pop had the balls to rest his players.

Have your heavy minute players cut maybe 5 to 10 games, just dont miss any primetime games.

 

[AllUniverse17]

Yeah he had an underrated good series... Him and ibaka

Never seen Ibaka play better.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Yeah he had an underrated good series... Him and ibaka

That’s the thing about the Raptors.....you look at the box score and see a bunch of niggas with double doubles. They do it effortless.

 

[chrislee]

How many GSW fans are gonna jump off the bandwagon now. Gonna be a long season.

 

[jack walsh13]

​

The Internets are merciless. I wasn't even watching TV to know who won from memes .

Awwwwwwwww shit!!!

 

[KingTaharqa]

How many GSW fans are gonna jump off the bandwagon now. Gonna be a long season.

Half will be Laker fans again. The other half will find an Eastern Conference team to root for to beat LeBron and the Lakers. Prior to 2015, Curry and the Warriors were rarely discussed on this board and in general, itll be back to that in a year.

 

[babydaddy]

Warriors should still be competitive next season. I'm sure they gonna fill out the bench better next year.

 

[Spectrum]

Same leg as the hammy.

 

[Mobilemannie]

These 2 games just changed free agency for the next 5 years. Who is not taking max now and risking a career ending injury so owners can pay you half your value because your risk of getting hurt again is high? Paul George saw the light early. Take your max deal and try to compete where you are.

Fuck em.

Excellent point.

side note:

this is the 2009 game that put Kawhi on the map in High School, when his team beat nationally ranked Number-1 Mater Dei. Before this, division 1 coaches had no interest in him...
