Hoping KD doesn't force his way back and thinks about next year + fair refereeing.

Oh lol and our guys to play to their potential.

Will we now see the ABC/espn broadcasts on TV, over the Canadian coverage? 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.

Will be on a night bus ride to Ukraine which means I'm all set for the night's entertainment. Although I sure do hope they'll have wi-fi on board because I don't want to pay courtside seat ticket price for streaming on my phone lol.

A side observation that had me really cautious during these important games vs Milwaukee and Philadelphia - I know that it must be overwhelming for Pascal to be in this stressful moment and perform, but he has to play smart and with confidence. Too many soft and ill advised, bad plays during game 7 and game 6 this round. At times it looked like he was afraid of the ball, got it to Kawhi and just ran away as far from it as possible. We're going to need him to overcome pressure if we want to be in this series.

Anyway, let's goo!!

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.

against GEORGE HILL! We/Kyle exorcised another Demon there with that KyleVSGeorgeHIll matchup...

.in the history of the NBA, all great teams/great players have had to go through major challenges/great teams to get to the NBA Finals.

Milwaukee is no exception, now! Giannis has lost against us twice in 3 years.

Kyle (again) exorcised other demons against Washington last year.

As fans we exorcised the Philly'01-Demons-to-Milwaukee ...to now NBA Finals
exorcising those demons have always been part of the process of winning a championship in the NBA...GOAT-MJ beating the Pistons.

We do have one left! LeKing. Depending on Kawhi's decision, we might just be starting with GSW

I’d like to see Nurse give Danny a post-up in the first couple possessions so he can see the ball go through the hoop. He did it earlier in the year and I believe it was one of his better games.

I wonder in some way is it better to have durant back...he'll be a killer but their ball movement will also be more limited...idk tough poison either way.

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

This team won 73 games 3 years ago without Durant. This team won a championship without Durant 4 years ago

They don't exactly suck without him

Sounds neat.

no...there's something about the energy of the outdoor concert/mosh pit that would be diminished by putting into another stadium. leave them where they are.

If KD comes back attack him at all costs. Force him to use that calf on defense.

I’m curious to see what Gasol’s role will be in this series. I think Ibaka will play a bigger role.

Raps take the first two at The Bank. Then, KD Comes back, and messes with the Dubs fluidity. Raps in 5. KD joins raps.

does that involve him dribbling the ball? if so i'm out. I agree we need to get his confidence going but the last thing we should be doing is putting danny in post up's.

I went to see Bucks board reaction but instead I'm seeing more Raptor fans posting. Jesus Christ what is with some of you guys smh lol

I would love nothing more than KD to come back and us to win this series.

Us being champs and literally breaking up the most powerful dynasty the league has ever seen would be priceless.
