**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[monstar]

Raps right now have to be favored bc they are more healthy then the Warriors across the board. I think Kawhi not being able to just stick with one guy is going to cause an issue to what he does on the other end. One things the raptors do not do is attack mismatches not once did MIL run a pick and roll with Giannis and Bledsoe to force a switch. Steph is gonna get time to rest on the Defensive end for once. Toronto better make sure they slow the temp of this game down that needs to be the top priority a game of transition aint gonna work in there favor.

Warriors need to make sure they keep the glass stats close. If Toronto is ever up +8 in rebounds you might as well count that as a W. I really hope Toronto forces more mismatches via pick and roll.

I still dont think this Raptors team beats Lebron last year, just not efficient enough on offense.

Feel bad that he first game for the Raptors is at home, its like welcome to the Finals first game at home against the defending champs go.

Gonna be a great Thursday

Warriors are better than Milwaukee. Toronto was just scraping by those wins. Milwaukee best player is limited offensively. Curry the best shooter of all time. Klay top 5 too. KD in the discussion too. Milwaukee 2nd best player is Middleton. Warriors 2nd best player is Kevin Durant. And if he doesn't play, Klay. If Kyle lowry struggles, it's over. If van vleet struggles, it's over. If siakim or Serge struggle, it's over. Danny green? Soulja boy face, dannnnny greeeeen??? Man warriors can't wait to play these dudes. Y'all in here nekkid n sweaty saying raptors winning this in any amount of game. Thursday gonna give y'all some ack right.

Just to clarify in your statement, Durant is the second best player on the warriors. Basically stating that Curry is a better overall player or shooter than Durant....

They made CJ and Dame look Reggie af after they looked like God's vs OKC and Denver. And by Reggie af...I mean...Reggie Jackson af. Both were Reggie Jackson.

The west is void of elite teams. Blazers Nuggets and okc all ain't elite teams.

Dame shooting 40/28/80 was looking like a God against the Nuggets. You must of seen another series then I did.

CJ was God mode against Denver. Dame was a deity against okc.

warriors made montrelz Harrell and Meyers leanord look like God's tho.

Still haven't shown anything to prove warriors have played great defense.
You win

You’re trying to break a long standing tradition

they're bigs tho...not dynamic wing players. they had trouble keeping montrezl off the block, true. good thing for them, toronto's bigs dont want to go to the block. they wanna be shooters. meyers had 2 big halves in a 4 game series. calm down.

Raps be lucky to win 1

part of me really wants to say sweep tbh. warriors want history. and 3peating and winning it on oracles floor is compelling television.

to be fair, they chose to lock up dame (as much as you can) and force leonard to beat them.... and he happened to have the best game of his life/best post season series of his career.... and they swept em. that sounds like strategy to me if i force your counted out bench player to have to play hero for yall to stay in the game. a GREAT strategy at that.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Nobody sweeping the Raps

 

[Lovetohate3000]

I forgot that Dame and cj are comparable to kawhi leanord.
People sleeping on how good the raptors are thinking Its going to be easy because gs swept the blazers. Kawhi ate against two elite defenses.
Warriors ain't played an elite defense yet. Unless kd comes back this going to be a struggle

Old dude never replied to my email. **** him, went ahead and copped Tix for game 1. **** it!!!!!

Kawhi in his current state isn't gonna be able to kill on offense as he has and run around the court chasing Steph and alternating between guarding Klay. Something's gonna give, dude is too broken at the moment.

Nevermind that the Warriors were down 15+ in 3 outta the 4 games. They acting like GS was blowing Portland out every time. The Raptors are an entirely different monster.
