my hope is that since the warriors arent very tall, Siakam can go back to just finishing over them which he couldnt do against Embiid Giannis and Lopez


I think his calf is still hurt, we haven't seen any of those layups from 10 feet for a while.


Well his calf is bound to be better than Durant's calf, no?

Yes.

I also think Durant has a serious injury and we may not see him on the floor. Need more intel so I can make a wager on Raps to win the Chip.

I had to go see my doctor today who's right across the street from the ACC...

Saw a ton of people camped out at the ACC and was like WTF are people lining up for Jurassic Park already?
Then I got closer and it was all girls aged about 12-15 lol I guess Justin Bieber or somebody is

start Kawhi on Draymond Green, make him feel useless so his confidence is lower. Then, the fourth quarter switch Kawhi onto Curry.

I'm pretty sure for playoffs Raptors chooses their jerseys. In the Philly series, they started off with black jerseys on the road but after losing Game 3, they decided to change it up and wear the red "Earned" jersey, and then they won Game 4. The Raptors equipment manager is very superstitious so they wore it to Game 6 but then they lost. In Game 1 and 2 of the Bucks series they wore the black jerseys again and lost both. Game 5 they wore the "Earned" jerseys again and won.

My guess is they will wear the white jerseys at home (9-2 these playoffs) and the Earned jerseys on the road. I don't think they have considered the White and Gold ones at home (due to the good record with existing whites) and not sure if its right to wear the OVO ones on the road.


You don’t have to guess: those are the exact jerseys they’re wearing for the finals.

Scouting in name. Im sure they were trying to tamper to Kawhi and Uncle Dennis. Clippers were the same team who sent Lawrence Frank to stalk Kawhi backstage through the season. We also had LeBron stalking Kawhi during the Philly Series. This is ridiculous and they are allowed to get away with it, but because of the CBA if Masai tries to get involved, he gets fined.

Ok lol I guess it is Nike’s decision if they already have the schedule up and can’t change them. But it’s probably what they would prefer anyways if they’re superstitious.

No one is actually “scouting” Kawhi.

This is simply a way for Balmer to flex his financial muscles to show Kawhi how serious they are about acquiring him.
