Series Thread: NBA Finals: Toronto Raptors vs Golden State Warriors

[Wamu]

LOL at the Lakers....a complete tire fire led by LBJ.

LeBron isn't to blame for the complete dysfunction in the Lakers front office.

 

[DJ Fieri]

LOL!

You're a moron.

 

[tzill]

Yep. He plays on both ends of the court.


My friend on FB said if he goes somewhere else....he'd be a huge asshole.

If your implication is that KD doesn’t play defense, then your basketball acumen is even worse than your teams FO.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Golden State will annihilate Toronto. In 5 and thats me being generous

I agree with my Laotian friend here...Warriors in 5. Would love to be wrong, but...

 

[Montalban]

What is so funny about that?

Most would agree.

Curry has been great with KD out. Before that he had maybe the worst stretch of games against Houston I have ever seen him have.

And he isn't quite as good defensively as Kawhi.

Bullshit. Curry has been irreplaceable. Leonard did not have the best player in the league go down with injury and have to take over himself.

 

[Montalban]

As usual you have no idea what you're talking about. Here are their playoff #'s.

Kawhi: 31.2 ppg, 8.8 rebs, 3.8 asts, 1.6 stls / .507 FG% & .388 3 pt%
Steph: 27.3 ppg, 6.3 rebs, 5.6 asts, 0.9 stls / .452 FG% & .390 3 pt%

Steph's having a damn good playoff run. But Kawhi's having a better one. And like @tlance mentioned Steph isn't the defender Kawhi is.

Get real. Stats don't mean a thing as to who is the most important player. Curry had to completely change his game and take over. Leonard was good but there has never in the history of the NBA been a stretch like Curry had when Durant went down.

 

[tzill]

Nobody but GS was going to win the title before the first game ever tipped off. Shame at us for getting tricked into watching this season.

You sound like that bitch ass whiner Russell West....oh, wait....

 

[Montalban]

Kawhi is better than Curry. Sorry.

Yes you are. And so is your NBA analysis.

 

[Montalban]

You're a moron.

LOL! Somebody is triggered.

 

[tzill]

I like the Raps in 7, maybe even 6.

And you like the Lakers.

So, there’s that.

 

[Heatles84]

Yes you are. And so is your NBA analysis.

How's that Rockets in 5 prediction working out?

 

[tzill]

Raptors can win but they need Green to make his shots.

And what are the odds on that?

For the series?

Gotta be +500

Who's having the better playoff run so far? Don't bring up something completely different. This isn't about who's more important. Loosen up your Homer Goggles. They're cutting off the oxygen to your brain again. By the #'s Kawhi's having the better playoffs.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And you like the Lakers.

So, there’s that.

And who the fuck are you exactly?

 

[tlance]

Bullshit. Curry has been irreplaceable. Leonard did not have the best player in the league go down with injury and have to take over himself.

I admire you actually advocating for the Warriors here, but you are clearly wrong.

The Warriors were the best team in the NBA before they added KD. They are still really damn good now without him.

Curry is great. A truly special player.

But he has not been the best player in these playoffs. And I am sure Curry himself would agree with that.

KD was better before he went down, and Kawhi has been better all along.

 

[Heatles84]

Bullshit. Curry has been irreplaceable. Leonard did not have the best player in the league go down with injury and have to take over himself.

Pretty sure Kawhi is irreplaceable as well. If you take him off of the Raptors, they don't even make it past the 1st round. Let's also not forget the series in which he got hurt against GS in the 3rd quarter. San Antonio lost a 20-point lead once he went down and got swept.

 

[tzill]

McCaw celebrates third Finals, but Dubs fans not having it

Good for Patty. Now he can feel what it’s like to take a Finals beating.

Um.........

1) What has Curry exactly changed in his game since pre and post KD's injury?
2) Never a stretch like Curry's had in the playoffs? You apparently didn't see what Lebron did last year.

 

[tlance]

Bullshit. Curry has been irreplaceable. Leonard did not have the best player in the league go down with injury and have to take over himself.

Leonard has been carrying the Raptors all playoffs to a degree that Curry has never had to.

Draymond and Klay have been phenomenal without KD.

Not only have Kawhi's offensive stats been better, he just locked down potential MVP Giannis in a way that Curry could never dream of.

Again, love Curry. If Curry had to defend Giannis, dude would put up Wilt numbers.
