You won't find me ever argue that the Perkins injury excuse wasn't bullshit. Props to MVPau for being the team leader that he was and taking advantage of a shorthanded Celtics front line.Quote:

Yeah and if I looked like Brad Pitt I'd be smashing Victoria's Secret models every weekend.Quote:

The Warriors lost at least 50% of quarters, for example, in the Portland series, yet still won easily. I see this series playing out in a similar way. Solid competition from Toronto punctuated by GS savagely raping them in single stretches, as we witnessed in the 3rd quarter of game 2.Quote:

TOR is no POR. TOR has a top defense all year and coming back on them is not the same as POR. Kawhi is better on offense than anyone they have faced.Quote:

True. Kobe can only win with stacks frontlines. If he didn’t chase off shaq he’d equal Horry or even Sam Jones.Quote:

Of course Harden's eye was real, but I seem to recall he was sick last year, and Curry had some medical issues as well.Quote:

Trying to get a ball over them is like trying to get one past prime Deion Sanders, especially Kawhi who has softball mitts for hands.Quote:

Leonard needs to play more offball. He looks great when he males quick decisions off a pass.
Lowry needs to shoot more
Why are there so many days between games? I swear I hate the NBA.
Agree 100%.Quote:

NBA: Steph Curry traveled on Andre Iguodala's clinching triple vs. Raptors in Game 2
They aren't going to win without Lowry playing like he did against Milwaukee..you can't rely on role players(although Lowry is essentially a role player now) to beat a team with so many stars..Quote:

I thought kawhi getting doubble teamed is exactly what the raptors need, but that should be a quick pass to Gasol at the top. They've looked great offensively whenever kawhi would pass it to Gasol after a double. Problem is kawhi is taking too long to initiate the offense.Quote:

Yeah - Kawhi is horrendous at seeing doubles and making decisions there. But they aren’t playing against stars...KD out and rest of GS is pretty bad tbh.. outside of Klay/Curry (Dray is just so limitedQuote:
