**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[Bentot]

This is why he stayed. He can go hide and literally nobody will talk bad about him all summer.

On the lakers he would have been public enemy number 1 even if he averaged 35 12 and 12 in 79 percent shooting.

maybe he stayed because he likes to play in the playoffs than be betrayed by lebron james while missing the playoffs and still getting all the blame?
i think he made a wise choice

 

[pums]

Couldnt happen to a more deserving player than Russ.

 

[Lizakers]

The wave bye is everything

Westbrook was out played by dame all series and he shot 11-29 tonight. Efficiency and decision making has always been his issue

I never thought Russ was a better shooter than Dame and arguably isnt the better pg.

That definitely matters but it's not like Russ lost them their lead on his own.

Bruh that was amazing. Holy crap.

So damn cold.

 

[dland24]

Poor Thunder. This was all Carmelo Anthony's fault.

Westbrook is one of the dumbest players in the league. Literally, bottom 5 percent.

They ****ed up a bunch down the stretch, but the play that literally cost them the game was the first play under the 2 minute mark while they were up SIX POINTS. CJ misses a three, OKC gets the rebound with like 2:05 to go, and instead of eating clock and getting a quality look up, Westbrook decides to go early, drives to the rim and gets called for a charge. Westbrook used a total of NINE seconds on that possession.

The lack of situational basketball understanding that seems to ail a lot of players in this league is something I will never understand. And to make matters worse, no one is ever going to bring this up to him. NO ONE.

PG was pretty solid minus his 2 missed free throws at the end and the turnover. To say that a guy that shot 14-20 and had you in position to win is the reason okc lost? That's a stretch

In addition, this "thing" with Westbrook is years in the making. It's arguably the reason kd cut turf. This game is just a byproduct of who he is as a player. That's why he deserves the blame.

 

[Tony $now]

This L on PG no matter what the stat box says . Anybody who watched the last 3 minutes could agree

I watched Seth literally take the ball from PG down the stretch. PG is too finesse and settles for too many midrange jumpers

Lmao chick reading

You know I thought Dame was slightly below Westbrook but he leapfroged and widened the gap so much during this series.

 

[Master Zik]

Dame looking sharp

Takes subtle shot at refs

Speaks on PG being 5 ft away from him for no reason.

 

[drewsone]

man this makes the Kyrie vs Dame debate Even more interesting

Kyrie would make some cold shots BUT from the LOGOOOOOO

 

[kvsm23vs24]

f Dame>>> Russ and it isn’t close at all.

Westbrook shows that stats aren’t everything He has the most useless triple dubs.

Dame can distribute, SHOOT and close games. Give this man a true 2nd option

 

[checks mcgee]

Has anyone ever hit a pull up game winner from this far away Not like a running buzzer beater but a step back jumper

 

[creamofdacrops]

westbrook is should be 3rd option if you want a championship team

I don’t think this is even true cause Russ is always #1 option to Russ lol

 

[SplinterMatic319]

Hold on, does this mean Kyrie is miles better than Westbrook?

 

[nick.]

 

[second2nonee]

Nurkic shirt says

"Got bricks?"
"Next question"



streets is done. Russ is food.

 

[a-friend]

Nurkic rocking a shirt tonight that read “Got Bricks?” Next question

[checks mcgee]

Hold on, does this mean Kyrie is miles better than Westbrook?

That wasn’t even a debate before
