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

[tzill]

Love Steph as a player, and I'd consider him a top 5 NBA player in the league. But when you start talking about defense, Curry shouldn't even be mentioned in the same tier as Kawhi.

Fair. And when you talk about passing, shooting and leadership — Kawhi shouldn’t be mentioned in the same stratosphere as Steph.

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.

Homer goggles? Dude hates the Warriors. He's just finding creative new ways to be wrong.

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

Never said he was. But he’s responsible for that whole AD cockup. And the retardation of a good young core. Dude is bad news. I’m glad it happened to the Lakers.

Agree with that.

However, the gap between the 2 players offensively is a lot narrower than the gap defensively.

Kawhi is probably top 5 in the NBA in both.

Curry might be somewhere between 1 and 3 offensively, but he is roughly a league average defender.

And who the fuck are you exactly?

Apparently someone who knows quite a bit more about basketball.

But please, keep flailing.

I think you subscribe to the “defense is half the game” myth.

It isn’t.

I love defense, but it’s at BEST 1/3 of the game.

Great offense will always be twice as valuable.

How's that Rockets in 5 prediction working out?

Didn't work for ya?

 

[Heatles84]

I picked GS to win the series, bud. Nice try though.

Curry and the Warriors.

Ha ha! He's a tool from way back on the SF Giants board.

No. You picked Houston in 5.

 

[Heatles84]

Kawhi's a decent shooter, but as a PG, it's Steph's job to be a facilitator. In terms of judging a player, Kawhi has near the offensive impact on a game that Steph as, along with a significant impact on the defensive end (which Steph doesn't). Kawhi just shut Giannis down to make the NBA Finals.

And in terms of leadership, you don't really know what type of leader Kawhi is.

 

[Heatles84]

No. You picked Houston in 5.

Like @bksballer89 , I picked the Warriors in 7. Again, nice try.

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.

Ancient history.

 

[Montalban]

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.

LOL! A new low even for you. We'll start with 33 points in the second half to destroy Houston. James was mediocre as the Warriros destroyed them last year.

 

[Heatles84]

Ancient history.

Was just two years ago. You should probably just concede defeat.

It's amazing that all of a sudden, you argue in favor of the Warriors. Strange times.

Dumbass, you said Curry changed up his game since KD went down. Him scoring in a barrage has nothing to do with him changing his game; he's always done that. So again, I'll make it larger font to help you read better:

What did Curry do to change up his game since KD went down?

 

[Heatles84]

No. You picked the Rockets.

It's like arguing with a fucking kid.

Gotta call hem as you see them. The fact that you would bring up Leonard's performance from two years ago on a different team cracks us up because of its extreme idiocy.
