Best fans in the NBA, they deserve it.

Based on what exactly? The 55 people I can see potentially awaiting a trophy? Christ we had more people for game 1 round 1.

I talked a lot of smack on both Love and Irving over the years but they both stepped up for the biggest game of their lives. Love with some weak D at times but very timely rebounds. He was great on the glass. Lebron willing the way to a title and Curry eating some humble pie. Awesome. What a performance by Green. Kudos.

edit: a friend said of Lebron in first half that he's off this game. He had something like 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists and great defense at the time. That is an off first half play by Lebron haha

the more I think about it, the more I think LeBron has slowed down his tempo ala DeMar DeRozan(hence preserving himself). a man that blocked AI the way he did, at the moment he did it cannot be on the decline

lol We're suppose to celebrate champions, when we're talking about top ever at a sport.

He has no post game, no mid rage game, no reliable offensive game so when the going gets tough it's hard for him to manufacture a bucket. Those all around numbers aren't helping him it's more hurting him actually. If he had a reliable offensive game that he could turn to, he would've won more. This year he's just being scared and wanna facilitate instead putting up 35+ shots like he did last year. smh. top 5 all time? yeah right. A bunch of players I'd rather start a team with or have on my team with 1st to go to war with.


Where you at?

I miss those days when the Raptors were the reason the Cavs called for a players-only meeting.

just came to say my pre-series vote of Cavs in 7 was correct, claiming my piece of the championship now

GS was the better team. Tough luck in game 5 with DG suspension & then Curry getting neutered in game 6. They didn't capitalize in game 7 so kudos to the Cavs for that.

But the league wanted a 7th game and it was a good show.

Return to Toronto Raptors
