4 and a half - so you'll win $450

Give it a try you never know.

Warriors are most likely starting the death lineup tonight too. They’re not f-cking around man.

Not only does it make the game worse but this thread becomes trash. 90% of posts become either fan base complaining about the refs, or complaining about posters complaining....

So you're complaining about the officiating, and you're complaining about others complaining?

The irony.

If Durant leads them back from a 3-1 deficit, not only will it cement his legacy as the “leader” of a 3-peat & the second ever to come back in the finals from 3-1 but he’ll most likely stay in GS too.

Sh*t just picked up.

I thank Steve Kerr for putting on the court yet another target for the Raptors to attack on offence. We already chased Boogie from the floor showing him to be completely unready to play. A gimpy KD having Pascal and Kawhi's running circles around him...it will be like playing 5 on 3 tonight in the Raptors favor.


Good luck with that. Warriors are gonna play Gasol off the floor more than likely. It’s one thing to be playing box in 1s/leave guys wide open against the Bogut, Looney & Bell lineups instead of being forced to guard a 5 out offense with Durant & Draymond at the 4 and 5.

You don't really believe it will be that easy right?!

KD is not the same as an overweight, slow Cousins who just suffered back to back huge injuries...

Yes I do believe we can find ways to negate his impact by pushing him on the defensive end but this dude gets buckets in his sleep. He's not some slow, laboring C. He's a 7ft wing with unbelievable shooting touch that can just bury shots over his always shorter defenders and it's not only about his scoring but how he acts as a decoy to open up Steph & Klay.

The team should have confidence but not arrogance.

Warriors fans need to be more realistic about what KD will provide.

Potential for incoming epic comeback. If KD plays like he’s healthy, this could be a crazy storyline

Actually, the Ws have been favored in the last two games. I'm just messing with Raptors' fans.

SAS is embarrassing right now

He was legit saying how the Warriors are better without Durant and now he's saying they're not and need him to be a championship team....I can't lmao

It's crazy that people think a few weeks not playing will make Durant rusty, or wreck his cardio to the point that he can't play. If the leg is close to 100%, he's going to be the same KD. The dude can run up and down the court and shoot in his sleep, it's literally all he's done his entire life.

I'm starting to feel like I do when I am going to a really important appointment of some kind: nervous and anxious.

I hope for a game for the ages.
