Thats going to be the most drama filled finals of all time.

Win game 7 against denver, I like their chances against Portland and hopefully one of durant or curry gets injured and against Houston.

Spurs vs Raptors will be fire :lol

Adams and Kanter weren't the problem on paper in 2016 against the Thunder as well but their front court did as damage to the Spurs as Durant and Westbrick did.

The fact is that they are so thin on big bodies after Anus going down that LMA would indeed have the most relaxing time compared to having to bang bodies with Man Boobs Jokic and Millsap and Plumber.

It's not worthy of discusion of course if we lose game 7,and in that case it just means the Ogre will feast on Meyers and Collins.

Exactly. Kanter is a notorious terrible defender in space and protecting the rim, but he's at least stout enough to at least somewhat hold his ground against Aldridge in the post. Aminu, Collins and Leonard are all lightweights. They also can't really make Aldridge and Poeltl work defensively or on the glass.

Without knowing whether he'll play (seems like he will, at least to start) or how hampered he'll be, I'd probably still pick the Trail Blazers, but this would at least open the door for the Spurs.

Hope the Rockets get streaky against the Faggots and then go cold in the WCF against the Spurs.

I remember when Kanter murdered the Spurs in 2016

As good as Lillard was it was Kanter outplaying Adams that won them that series. Huge blow if he can't play but I think it's likely he will.

By the way Jehovah is the true devil. Satan is the true savior of humanity.
