ECF: Raptors vs. Bucks

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Look, I'm a Pop fan, and I dislike Kawhi for what he did, but Pop deserves a fuck you in a way. I think he has gone overboard with his belittling of the media. Everyone hates us because of this. It really is bad for business.

I agree that's the only positive I take from this lol

[DMC]

Kevin Durant - Finals
Serge Ibaka - Finals
James Harden - 2nd round


Russ - destroyed in the 1st round by a team that got swept in the WCF

Scott Brooks - eliminated

:lol

[baseline bum]

Seriously, how must DePression feel watching this? It sucks watching it as a Spurs fan but it must be 100 times worse for him, tbh.

He made $28 million this year. He good.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Lol Danny Green looks really stupid with his choking ass

[TDMVPDPOY]

green ia fkn monkey, why he celebrating like he contributed to anything, fkn choke artists will be choking on drakes dick at a club later, fkn monkey

[DMC]

How the fuck is kawahi so god damn calm lmao that nigga is a robot. Kawahi is top 2 in the league

Because he's in the East and he knows it. He has a Finals MVP, been there twice already so not his first rodeo. You didn't see a lot of celebrating by GS, it's not the championship.

Did the East get stronger when Lebron left?

Raptors backdoor swept the Bucks. Bud was also swept by the Cavs in the ECF when he was with the Hawks.

Let him enjoy it, unless he somehow manages to show up in the finals he has lost a ton of money!

[Number 2]

Danny Green's name very noticeably omitted from the Toronto players kudos speech. Damn.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

This shit would have been prevented if Pop and the Spurs FO weren't pussies and made that faggot play out his contract. Seriously. That's always been my stance from day 1.

[DMC]

Dunning-Kruger effect

I was going to give you benefit of the doubt on that but if you insist.

[DMC]

He is right Bledsoe has been awful this series compared to Hill. I don't know what you are talking about?

Then Hill throws the ball away in crunch time.

Great takes, the both of you. Top notch shit.

[Jonnyblue19]

Exactly, and I am am happy they are being called out on it. They should have kept it period.

[FkLA]

You're an annoying idiot with no self-awareness. Go away.

Dude, Bledsoe was in when Toronto goes on their 20-3 run. They take him out and they get back in the game. So Hill had a turnover in crunch time, Bledsoe did nothing like usual. Please stop. If you really think Bledsoe has been playing better than Hill this series you are either blind or just trolling.

[DMC]

Someone would have won. Without Lebron in the East, Toronto maybe still wins the ECF. They had the best RS record last year. GS would still have won the West. Nothing would be different other than Kawhi making it to the Finals. I don't get why anyone cares.

[Jonnyblue19]

You're an annoying idiot with no self-awareness. Go away.


Isn't he the same person that thinks Klay is a better offense player than Kiwi?

[FkLA]

Isn't he the same person that thinks Klay is a better offense player than Kiwi?

Yes. He has a pretty bad thread about Curry too.

I didn't say Hill was the worst player on the team. Nothing you've said has anything to do with what I said. Ex Spurs coaches likely give more playing time to ex Spurs players than they should. Bud took Tiago off our hands. Look at the ex Spurs players who have gone to play with ex Spurs coaches... Tony Parker is another one.

Just loyalty. There's a reason George Hill is a journeyman.

[Jonnyblue19]

Yes. He has a pretty bad thread about Curry too.


And he has fat hands too?

[apalisoc_9]

Isn't he the same person that thinks Klay is a better offense player than Kiwi?

:lol

yeah

plus the fat hands

he's legit obese.

[DMC]

Isn't he the same person that thinks Klay is a better offense player than Kiwi?

It was true when I said it. I allowed that KL was improving in leaps in bounds.

[DMC]

:lol

Those alts though :lol

You're an annoying idiot with no self-awareness. Go away.

You're really salty over Kawhi making the Finals.

Is he as big as TPark?

[resistanze]

If Raps don’t choke the series away

resistanze is going to the NBA FINALS

He means well. He supports black causes.

[FkLA]

:lmao

[FkLA]

yeah but it's always a classy belittling tbh imho

I honestly think he has a great relationship with the media, at least the top media guys, outside of interviews. He and Sager had a great relationship off camera despite the in-game interview bullying.

[ambchang]

This thread shows how little bbiq spurstalk has.

Making fun of nurse when raptors were down then making fun of bud when the bucks were down. It’s like the coaches woke up one day and decided to switch brains.

Constantly attributing the success or failure of either team to their respective superstars when it’s clear as day that it’s the plays of the role players making all the difference.

Making fun of Lowry when he kept making high iq basketball plays. His defence and him running the offence has been top notch. Players like Lopez, van fleet, Powell all made great contributions to their teams.

Talking about Kawhi as if the spurs just got up one day and say “hell, I’ll iust trade Kawhi for 20 cents” and use it as trolling when all it does is to make you look stupid.

Just all around shit takes everywhere.

[DMC]

:lmao

That's homerism talking. It's the same way people put Kobe in the top 5 all time over at LG.com. Kawhi is probably the best defender in the league, still. He's not even close to being the best offensive player in the league. Klay is a much better offensive player than Kawhi, right now. That could change based on KL's work ethic and the amazing results he gets from his effort, but right now, he's too inconsistent to be considered a great offensive player. He's good, no doubt, but Klay can carry a team on offense. KL cannot. He can do well some times, but he can never do Klay level good.


But you're a Bernie guy. It's understandable you'd be easily misled.

From 2016

And you still try to make points from this.

Your next good NBA take will be your first.

If this series doesn’t highlight how important role players are in the playoffs i’m not sure what does.

If the bucks can consistently hit open shots they would’ve blown out the raptors. Conversely if the raptors couldn’t hit their outside shots they would’ve lost.

It’s not Kawhi vs Giannis. It’s more like Middleton vs Lowry or Bogdan vs van fleet.

:lol talking about shit takes
:lol "if one teams makes their shots and the other team misses, then the series would be different"

[Play Boban]

He’ll be partying with the Warriors after getting swept, anyways. He literally can’t lose tbh.

You're a fucking idiot.

"Kawhi is not better than Klay Thompson but if he practices a lot he could be"

Klay Thompson has never and will never be able to do what Kawhi does on offense. He has never had anything close to Kawhi's handle and he doesn't have a turnaround fadeaway jumper that he hits at a 50% clip. That was a retarded take when you said it and it's even more retarded today, you goalpost moving, vague-as-fuck-qualifier on every take having fat fuck.

Ho lee shit. :wow :lmao

[lefty]

I think Bucks in 5 or 6. Even Kawhi going nuclear was barely enough to beat PHI. Kawhi needs help or they have no shot against the Bucks no matter how amazing Kawhi is playing


Bucks in 6, IMO


Bucks in 6. Better coach, deeper roster. Brogdon is also coming back soon.


I say Bucks in 5. Though Ive already been wrong on 2 series so far (Spurs v Denver and Phiily vs Raps) so my take ain’t worth much lol but there it is anyways.


Bucks in 5. They actually have someone who can somewhat contain the Nephew.


Bucks in 6 but they may lose game 1 again from having too much rest.. But too much shooting and no answers for Giannis. Leonard looks to have very little help..

:lol feggits

[lefty]

Fucking Judas in 7


Kawhi beats Bucks in 6 games.
Dubs beat the Guests.
Kawhi vs. Dubs in Finals.

Spurfan goes on suicide watch.


Raptors actually match up decently with the bucks and probably are one of two, three teams with the personnel to defend them.

Raptors steal game 1, win in 6. Kawhi averages 35 ppg, goes down in Canadian history.


:lmao At the Bucks in 5 predictions. So much for the Raptors being "terrifying", scumbag being "Jordan with a 3" and Antetokounmpo being the most "overrated superstar".

The only thing that would surprise me, is if this series didn't go at least 6. The talent/matchups are similar and the Raptors have too much riding on this season (not only the possibility of scumbag leaving, but Lowry, Gasol, Green and Ibaka, will all no longer be good enough to fulfill the roles they currently do soon enough) to go down in 4 or 5.


Unfortunately, I think that very desperation (those aforementioned names have been on good teams for a long time, but never gotten over the hump; the urgency they'll feel will be extremely difficult for the Bucks to match) gets the Raptors over the hump.


I've had Bucks over Raptors in 7 in my bracket since the playoffs started, but I'm not ruling out a Raptors upset. When you have the best player in the world, you always have a chance.

:bobo

[ambchang]

:lol feggits

:lol. Gotta own up to that. Not Shocked nephew came through but shocked Lowry and van fleet did.

Yeah Kyle and Vanvleet have turned into Steph, wtf :lol

[DPG21920]

Bucks had a 2-0 lead and blew it. But as I said, Kawhi couldn’t do this himself like he did vs PHI. But he got big time contributions on most nights from his teammates alongside him playing well. Still shocked MIL couldn’t recover enough to prevent 4 in a row.

[ambchang]

:lmao van fleet leading the raptors in +/- in the last three games
:lmao nephew didn’t lead the raptors in any of the 6 games.

[KobesAchilles]

:lol feggits
Van Fleet was amazing. Much better than Brogdon (whom some here can’t believe we passed on). Nephew dominated and Pop fucked up beyond royally. And Giannis is overrated trash until he learns how to shoot the damn basketball. Just a few things I’ve learned this series.

[vavvi]

Great season by the Bucks. Huge step forward.

A bit annoyed not to be able to root for anyone in the finals.

[Mark Celibate]

I honestly think he has a great relationship with the media, at least the top media guys, outside of interviews. He and Sager had a great relationship off camera despite the in-game interview bullying.

calling BS on that one. I never heard much about any off camera relationship until Sager got cancer. All of a sudden, after a few :cry we miss Sager, plz come back and ask your stupid questions :cry remarks/jokes people forgot about all those years of him being a legit grumpy old man during those sideline interviews

tbh Sager getting cancer was great for Popovich and he played it beautifully

Except that's not what I said, salty faggot.

Kawhi was a timid offensive player a few years ago. He got handled by Matt Barnes.

You selective memory having, stupid fuck.

I would be stunned if the Bucks won this game. They're clearly mentally shaken and have no counter. Their only chance is to keep it close, hope the Raptors get tight and it's one of those miracle, fluky, infamous finishes, where they eke it out at the end.

I expect them to start strong, but ultimately fizzle out and succumb to scumbag's coronation.
