Yeah that dude is on ESPN today talking chit.

The dude has no shame

It's insane how quickly the bandwagon fans come out lol. Nothing wrong with it, I like seeing the support, but it's crazy how quickly it happens.

Saw a guy wearing a FVV jersey today... that would've been embarrassing a week and a half ago.

Also, walked past a bball court yesterday and some kids were taking turns shooting fadeaway corner threes hoping for a bounce. I guess I was wrong in that other thread in thinking a revolution isn't happening. Exciting times.

Yea caught a clip of it, basically says that Kawhi is for sure leaving to join LeBron and Kevin Durant on the Lakers. That guy is Paul Pierce level full of shiet.. Tom Thibodeau then calls him out as "working for LeBron" :lol:

Jones still says that LA is simply better than Toronto. Thibodeau says for Kawhi, he is going to make his decision based on winning and Basketball, not because of weather.

Also, I'm glad TOR is going against this superteam. Literally a win-win situation, there's no pressure.

Yeah I’m hoping that will allow guys to play even better. Danny can’t get any worse shooting wise right? Also the past finals were hella boring. Not because of the Warriors but because of boring Lebron teams on top of playing in the ugly Cavs arena. Glad we’re the first team to make it post-Lebron. Looking forward to abc and the nba marketing this matchup. Feel free to spam the curry family/drake/kid steph shooting at the ACC idgaf just happy we made it :lol:

Also Ayesha was born and raised in Toronto come back over to the good guys 8-)

His argument was so foolish that Thibs - as you said - called me out on National television for being a LeBron employee LOL

That must of been embarassing for him. Than again this is Demon Jones we talking about. No shame.

So who do guys think will win, Warriors or Other?

I feel surprisingly confident about this game. Could see Raptors win by 12+

One of the only players I've ever seen who can dominate on offense without the ball in his hands.

where do you have Magic or Oscar Robertson?

When the Game 7 vs Sixers was on ABC it was nice seeing the American coverage instead of our announcers and our athletic production crew with its inane closeups that make you miss 2-3 actual plays per game.

I am talking about cable, I know there are ways to watch online but I don't want that.

Yeah does anyone know the answer to this? Ill be at all the finals home games but want to watch the ABC broadcast for road games.

If you did want to watch all the games on TV I could take your tickets off your hands

Magic fan here..I dont care what the media is saying here in the USA, but I believe in your team. I have had a gut feeling throughout the season that this is the year warriors will lose and same gut feeling I had with your team making it to the finals to win it all...Its happening just as I had figure. I have seen with my own eyes how you guys beat my Magic team. This Toronto team can do it. Just trust in your team. Kawhi will lead the way.

I stop at a Timmies almost every morning on my way to work and at least 75% of the time I see the same group of older (70-80) gentlemen at the same table. It's been about 5 years of this and I had NEVER overheard anything related to the Raptors - or even the NBA...until Kawhi hit the series-winning buzzer beater against the Sixers. Ever since, I've heard them talking about the Raptors every morning I've been in that Timmies. Today they were talking about how Kawhi is going to win MVP and the Raptors are going to sweep the Warriors.

HOO

I'm mentally preparing for Curry/Thompson to hit ridiculous shots but hope i'm wrong.
