[Maximillion]

Heard some Callers on the Radio advocating for Jurrasic Park to be moved to the Rogers Centre as the Blue Jays don't play on the same days.

Sounds neat.

Oh ****, they should do this. Looking at the schedules, they can do all games but games 3 and 4.

We have to put Siakam on Draymond right? That has to be the play.

Curry is great. Mj had just as much help. Kawhi has just as much help. Twee only guy who I've ever seen will role players to finals is LeBron.

This is not meant to **** on any of the greats, I'm pointing out that curry is just as great. The only reason you compare him to Nash etc is brcause of his defense, you're really ubdervaluing how amazing he is offensively. NBA 2k literally reworked their game to accommodate how good he is. Seriously don't understand why people feel the need to constantlt prove curry sucks. They just beat Houston and swept portlabd without Durant wjhen everyone said they were done. No one knows just they're talking about anymore.

Let's not be hyperbolic...I did put him in the tier with 2-times MVP Steve Nash..and I did say that I would take him over many great players as long as Klay comes with him. Never said " he sucked"...I am not even sure that he is the best shooter on his team. I saw Klay go for a NBA record in 3pt made in a playoff game while guarding Westbrook..who owns the record for 3s in a game in the regular season? who owns the record of points scored in a Quarter?

I think I am a "bit" older than you, Mark Price was an unbelievable shooter, unbelievable..had he been given the greenlight to 3 like Curry, he would most likely be considered the greatest shooter of all time! btw Mark Price was first team all NBA with Prime-GOAT next to him!!! basically telling you comparing Curry to Price is not an attempt to disrespect Stephen.

I'm not gonna claim to pretend I've watched Mark price or know his game, but Steve Nash was also an amazing 3 point shooter and he's not even close to curry in his shot making ability. Without a doubt curry is the best shooter on his team and here's why... Its not just about making shots. It's the type of shots.klat is a great shooter. But he's a Catch and shoot guy. You can't just argue that if a guy takes more shots or more opportunity he'd be just as good. Because there are different typezof shots. If you gave the ball to klay every possession could you ask him to go 1 on 1 and pull up off the dribble?

Not only can curry catch and shoot with the best of them, he can also shoot and make whatever shot he wants off dribble, hand is his face off the catch no space 30 "feet away whatever. No shooter has ever been able to be as efficient as him at the type or shots and volume of shots he takes. Even the guys who he's been compared to in terms of types of shots like Gilbert arenas were largely inefficient shokters. Curry shoots a lot of shots and a high percentage and makes the most difficult ones. To try to act like he's not on the same level as an the all time greats is 100% disrespect to him. That's my argument. Okay maybe you're not saying he "sucks" in the literal sense but the fact that for some reason you felt the need to make a post talking about how he's not as good as certain players is 100% uneccessary hate. To me this is like when people don't give Lowry enough credit. Its bs

as soon as you critique someone it is "hate" eh. Curry is one of the greatest shooter of all time. I just think the greatest shooter of all time is his backcourt mate. Curry could possibly be the greatest shot creator from 3 fully taking advantage of the "analytics". From 2, he is nowhere near close to the top..reminding you that creating-shot-from-3 was literally not allowed by the coaches for a longtime.

you saw it yourself with theKlaw for a month showing you what the next tier looks like. Able to carry a team on your own. Defense matters to be in the elite conversation. GOAT-MJ was DPOY. LeBron was in all defensive-teams. same for Kobe, Shaq! the elite players...

[yogimvp]

you already know what it is...raps in 4 lets go.

[MiltPalacioFan]

Kawhi on Curry
Green on Green
Siakam on Klay
Gasol on Looney
Lowry on Mackenie

Serious question, is it even worth it to go to a game? People are already selling their presale codes for $200-300, people on StubHub or SeatGeek are selling tickets for $1800US for section 103 row 21. If people strike out on general release sales, I can't fathom sitting there thinking to pay someone $3000 for 1 game. Personally, I think if they won the title, the first home game of next season would be awesome because the championship banner will be hung from the rafters and the players would get their rings.

1-1 would be disappointing if KD isn't playing....going up 2-0 heading into Oakland is what we need.

[ash_k]

Kawhi on Curry
Green on Green
Siakam on Klay
Gasol on Looney
Lowry on Mackenie

for some reason, without KD out there, I feel like theKlaw should guard/disrupting PG-Draymond Green from passing

[Raptors_128]

We're going to the NBA **** Finals. That's so crazy to hear.

I'm so happy for Kyle. My guy averaged 19.2/5.5/5.2 on 51/47/84 shooting splits in the ECFs. Playoff choker my ass.

[Rob Diaz]

Gonna be terrifying to go against the 2nd best PG of all-time, the scariest shooter to ever play the game.

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

Just have to keep a big body on Klay. He can't dribble, pass or drive, just have to communicate against the screens(way easier said than done). His only offensive skill other than shooting is posting small guards, so hopefully they can avoid the FVV and Norm mismatches(which means Green has to actually make shots to stay on the floor).
