My life would be complete if this happens. They could move the franchise down to Mexico and I wouldn't care.

TSN 1200 Web poll is up to 66% from 55%, thank you guys! :)

I was listening to them on the radio on the way to work and they seemed surprised that the NBA was ahead and also a bit sour too. Then they went back to talking about hockey.

I don't get why people are underestimating the warriors. They got Iggy/Dray/Klay/KD all good to great defenders who they can put on Kawhi.

I hope our team is ready for this challenge man, have to remember the warriors are the champs for a reason and play their hearts out.

Guys will need to step up aside from Kawhi, hoping its a bunch of them and not just 1 or 2.

Also hope they can't slow down Kawhi but man, they got a bunch of great defenders and a smart coach.


Sorry who is underestimating the Warriors? I certainly am not. Its pretty blatant that this team is simply on another level. It ours defence that is going to keep us in this series. Bottom line.

That's pretty sad in Ottawa when the Raps are in the Finals, Sens are out/bad, no Canadian teams in the Final and they still talk mostly hockey

For sure. I rarely listen to the station because hockey is all they talk about 99% of their airtime. I just tuned in to get some glimpses of basketball talk and was able to catch them mentioning poll this morning. The only time you get to hear about basketball is when they switch over to their ESPN syndicates on Sundays.

the warriors are like a final boss after a long grueling video game. And you have low HP and the odds are stacked against you.
you lose, and you don't go back to where you were before; it just restarts at the start of the game again

MJ made good comments, especially on the leadership stuff at the end

But i disagree with him in the middle section - comparing Demar's excitement vs Kawhi
MJ said "Kawhi won't give you those unbelievable plays" completely disagree, he gives you those amazing plays AND he gives you everything else you need at an above average clip.

Jalen Rose this morning agreed with that guy in the middle - Raps beat warriors if KD doesn't play.

bumping this interview up. Yeah I initial thought it was cool but man some of these questions. "Do you eat the fries with that stuff on it?" "What kind of candy is different there? (after Curry said he loves Maynards) Chocolate? hard candY?" WTF, is this whole series gonna be like this?

Unfortunately the resale market is not controlled by MLSE.

Prices are crazy!
