raps in 6
Vanfleet's a pretty good defender but I think you want to try to put size on Curry. If DG regresses to the mean in his shooting that would be big.Quote:

If Durant is back by Game 3, I say Warriors in six.
If Game 4 or later, Raptors in seven
He not a averaging 40 on "skinny" Donkey son. Ever since he lost that weight, he's been balling. His intangibles will determine the series IMO.Quote:

If Kiwi rangs after deportation :lmao
Is GSW ceiling higher without Durant? I get their margin for error is lower, but it seems like with Curry running the show & Draymond playing a bigger part, they generate even more efficient shots.
No :lolQuote:

Should have added a poll
Warriors in 6 or Raptors in 7 are the only two possibilities, IMO.
Their level of play, not their achievements.Quote:

Tough to judge based off a series against Portland (are they even better than Boston?). Even then the Blazers choked away multiple possibly 3 games.Quote:

Fatigue is the key in this series.

The Warriors haven't faced a defense as long and athletic as the Raptors.Quote:

Kawhi should pretty much eliminate Klay for most of the series. The story will be if anybody can effectively guard Curry, they've got bodies to throw at him in Lowry, Danny, Powell....but if they switch Kawhi onto him and he can effectively slow him down, the series might end in 5 tbh....
:lmaoQuote:

Exactly, having him the floor benefits Gasol.Quote:

They didn’t dominate Philly and were down 2-0 to MIL. They aren’t dominating the Warriors even if they may win.Quote:

Time for Curry to get his finals mvp trophy... Warriors in 3
Boogie is available. Probably have him in the 2nd rotation...
Warriors. Stern Jr will take care of this
hopefully warriors sweep without KD. if KD returns hope the raptors backdoor sweep them upon his return.
as much as i want to see kiwi crash and burn, having KD leave the warriors is the greater good
Raps win every home game
Kawhi FMVPs again
Whoa I forgot Leonard got that Finals MVP in 2014.Quote:

Here in Toronto all the little local stations do there finals segments and they're talking about how good Lowry is.
:lol
People really think GS losing.
Lowry was pretty awesome in ECF...happy for him. but...nah he's getting completely outclassed :lolQuote:

If that Lowry pass is a portent of what's to come :lol...
The classic Curry moving his backside into an opponent and getting the whistle

Fuck you both!!
They're gonna let Green mug the absolute shit out of Pascal...
People want to get on the refs for not calling that double dribble in the NCAA championship waning seconds; but Kawhi just did the same thing right in front of the ref and no call.
Man this starting squad would be so scary offensively if Green was on. His looks are so ridiculously wide open
I think that's allowed tbhQuote:

this would be a joke of a finals if Durant was healthy... This way I really think Toronto will beat them.

When did Lebron ever sweep anyone?Quote:
