**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[lavatake]

Looney was ruled out indefinitely night of his injury

then got a 2nd opinion on his own to get the process started to get cleared

the

Nobody said they had it out for KD.
This is a 3peat year, they accomplish that and they are put into some pretty exclusive company.

KD playing gives them that chance. PoP hasn't even 3peated neither has Lebron, it's a pretty big deal

They want their team to be talked about in the company of the Lakers and Celts and have some validity to it.

It's about Legacy

Like many say, had these cats been up 3-1, KD would've been shutdown for the series and they'd be upfront about.
They waited until the brink of elimination

These dudes tried to guarantee a chip but now find themselves back where they were
Having to accomplish this without him

but that is obvious, isn't it? toronto is a good squad and the warriors have been both outplayed and been undermanned for the series. you can't just remove KD, both skill level and taking $30 million worth of talent from a roster and expect this to be another sweep by the warriors

they're on the verge of elimination with KD feeling good enough to play and attain legendary status if he succeeds. it was all the risk and all the reward on his end and whichever doctor explained it to him better of had good reason

Lol look at that insecurity

Coming from one of the most negative posters on NT. I’ll be whatever you think i am. You got it.

But I thought Warriors don’t need KD?

It just hit me who this guy is.

 

[tekthemaestro]

Boogie?

..........

dude so trash i forgot hes on the team when i made that post. sacrifice him just because.

 

[blastercombo]

Not only money > rings, health > money > rings. They shaved off another big contract after this one and potential quality of life when it’s all said and done

 

[hand2handking]

alternatively cant take money with when you die, and you cant buy a ring

but your name in the books forever

just because idiots say something doesn't make it true. and doesn't make it a valid point in one's argument

 

[air jsarg]

These types of posts are so useless. If you mention something interesting you at least gotta provide cliffs

Why don’t you post it.....or give us context?

i'm on it, sorry lads

Klay's already a chamption, a lock for the HOF, and will go down as one of the GOAT shooters of all time.
Keep the fame, I'll take the generational wealth.

 

[hand2handking]

and that thing could have popped first play next season even if he aint play at all

He got that deep, soothing, old-timer, laid back voice like Barry White. Barry from Beaumont too, wonder if they’re related

kd shot prolly gon be even wetter

kd shot prolly gon be even wetter

lowkey ive been wondering what a kd with no responsibility but to practice and rehab would look like. it is ENTIRELY possible he comes back even more skilled than before.

 

[doublemesh96]

Kevin!!!

 

[doublemesh96]

Let’s get this ring for da homie

 

[MVP]

Oh

 

[casper90403]

No matter what dislike i have for KD, that pic of him in the hospital bed hurts. Did not need to happen.

So much slander for my boy Bob Myers. It might be a good time to pack up and head to the Lakers and make his wife happy.

Nah I don’t think that is possible. KD as we knew him was one of the most lethal scorers we ever seen, he was playing at his peak.

 

[hand2handking]

if the dubs 6peat are they better than jordans bulls?

 

[casper90403]

Oh

this is exactly what i was thinking. It was pretty obvious the Warriors were instructed to not say anything because KD's camp probably wanted to be the first to give the bad news.

Alot of times, teams will keep quiet when there's a major injury. In reality, they don't really owe anyone an immediate answer. Fans be expecting everything and now.

They still gotta get the threesome going first.
