C'mon Bruh ... I remember back in the day everyone use to love this quote

"Keep your friends close and your enemy's closer"

That's what KD is doing

nothing wrong with that.

Bugs me that KD isn't allowed to join the enemy to win Championships, (the ultimate prize) and yet queen bee (lbj) is allowed to do what he wants lmao GTFOH

They might not have won the first of this strings of championships had Cleveland not been injured.

They are dying by the jumper right now. They can get no consistent offense near the hoop.

I hope Pop is proud. Not his classiest moment. He got all out of character, petty and self detrimental with the whole KL situation. Weird.

Who is Dennis Rodman for 3 rings Alex?

Pop got his rings and I actually don't have an issue with the old school not wanting to make your rival better stuff. He's going to sail off into the sunset here soon anyway with his legacy fully intact IMHO.

The Raptors snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. 3 straight possessions and the ball never got closer than 30' to the hoop.

Edit: Just horrible initiation of the offense by the Raptors. That last 3 minutes was ugly. GS was trying to hand it to them with an back court violation and a monumentally stupid moving pick by Cousins but the Raps couldn't close it out.

Game 7s are pretty much mandatory in the NBA finals at this point...

Horrible execution by the Raps at the end. As good as they were in Game 4, they were that bad in this game.

The entire Raptor's starting 5 was above the 3 point line in a 1 point game with less than 20 seconds left. Stupid offense when you need a point. If you're down 3 that's the way you need to play it but it was really a lost opportunity. The NBA seems to have forgotten how to actually play for a 2 point shot. If you stumble into one after driving and dishing out that's one thing but to actually play for one seems to be a lost art. All the Raptors needed was one more bucket in the final 5 possessions yet all they were trying to set up was long jumpers.

KD has an Achilles injury . I feel terrible for him

I've seen this same thing a couple of times in the playoffs this year, but the lack of urgency was crazy. I think there were around 15 seconds left when they called timeout -- that's PLENTY of time to get up a shot, play the foul game if you miss and still get another shot after that. Leonard wasted a good four, five seconds facing up and surveying the defense. Really poor.

How badly do Kobe and Lebron get killed in the media and by fans if they gave up the ball so easily and with so much time like Kawhi did in the last possession.

Still can't believe he passed it.

Kyle Lowry is frustrating. 2 chances for him and he failed...

iQon · Post #1278 » by **iQon** » Tue Jun 11, 2019 11:49 am

It was fairly obvious that was an achilles injury from day 1. I'm all for the GSW reporting a calf strain. The truth would have eventually leaked. But they lost me when they cleared him to play.

Scumbags.

If other teams lowball KD, GSW needs to be on the hook for that max contract.

Just one month ago, it was a done deal that Kyrie and Durant would join up in NYK. Now Kyrie is apparently going to Brooklyn and Durant wont play until 20-21, command a max deal and be past 31 with a new Achilles. Ouch.....

My god is Cousins terrible. I've never seen a player of his caliber make so many boneheaded plays down the stretch. Also it legit looks as if he's playing with 100 lb weights tied to his ankles. There was a good 4-5 minute stretch last night where Lowry exposed the **** out of him on defense. Good luck getting paid this offseason.
