The media member who gave Kyrie a vote should never get a vote on awards again. They obviously didn't take it seriously.

Bill Simmons, for sure

Ha, actually it's pretty funny how Bill has went from loving Kyrie to completely hating him in the past 6 months. Near the end of the regular season bill pulled a gambo and said he wanted to drive Kyrie to the airport this summer.

And also said he'd pick him up from the airport in LA and take him to Staples if he wants to join up with Lebron again :lol:

Can't believe how much trouble Giannis is having at the line. This looks like it's more in his head than anything.
But none the less, he has to really work on his shooting this summer

Man Kawhi is showing Giannis what a TRUE superstar looks like. True superstars show up and step up deep in the playoffs

I'm not saying the Warriors won't win the title. They probably will. But, I think people are jumping on them because of how good they were in the series against Portland. They played an injured Blazers team who wouldn't have been in the WCF had the playoff brackets been different.
Yes, the W's were missing Durant, but we already know how good that team is without him.

Who you guys got in the finals?
I can’t wait to watch Kawhi and KD face off for right to join the suns.

If this goes 7 games, I can't see the Warriors pulling it off. The Raptors players will be insanely motivated and that arena will be rocking.
Part of me wants Cousins to return because I really think he'll ruin the team chemistry they've built up the last 6 games.

Can you imagine if the Raps win a ring?
Leonard could leave for the Clips and the Raptor organization would still build a statue for him for that one year of work (not literally).
That'd be incredible. Get Toronto a ring and then help the Clips get their first one.

Indiana has to be kicking themselves for dealing him when they did.

Yeah, that was ridiculous. I keep reading twitter and then coming here and seeing the same thing.

Yeah, Kawhi/George combo would have been pretty sick. I thought of that trade when George Hill was talking to Kawhi after the game...thought of him saying "I can't believe they traded you for me."

And they published right after the game... obviously they had this written up ahead of time just in case they lost tonight... pathetic

I think Toronto has a good chance. They are excellent defenders and a bunch of guys who have played deep in the playoffs multiple times..Serge, Gasol, Leonard, Green....all these guys have plenty of experience against GS so they won't be shocked or intimidated by them at all....you know Serge and Kawhi probably have even extra motivation....and Danny Green from having tough playoff losses to them often.

King4Day · Post #836 » by **King4Day** » Sun May 26, 2019 4:17 am

Linsanity is in the finals! (and probably won't sniff the court).
So many guys I want to see get a ring. Marc Gasol being a big on. So many.

I don't think Giannis was too happy with that article.....the person who wrote the article asked him a question at the press conference.

Absolutely ridiculous. So media thinks it’s win a chip or lose your star if your team is not in LA or NY..

As he should.

It really annoys me that the media wants to stir things up right after they lost. Hey bro, how about wait a week or two before jumping on a small market team like that
