The Warriors sacrificed KD's career for this ring. They better win this thing or it's going to look bad on the organization as a whole.

Grow up? I gave him props for his greatness and picked your team to win. But instead of reacting positively to the comment, you decided to gloat. It's not me who needs a lesson about class.

My personal hatred for him aside, I'm being objective. He's played at a level of greatness - as much as I hate the guy - I can't ignore it. You have to understand, my dislike for him is coming from a very personal place. Raptors fans of all people should know when a beloved star weazels his way out of town and the kind of negative emotion it generates in you as a diehard fan. I know it's easy for you to forget that now that you have another legit superstar and your bias takes over in that you don't care what he did to the other franchise cuz that's not your problem. You root for him, you support him because as far as you're concerned, his slate is clean. But that's not the case for us Spurs fans.

Despite what he did to get out of SA, I have never wished him to be injured or for him to suffer a career-altering experience. Doesn't mean he is absolved of the shenanigans he pulled in San Antonio. Doesn't mean the Raptors bandwagon fans are any less annoying or come across as nothing but a bunch of entitled wannabes (Not referring to hardcore fans. Referring to the casual bandwagoners who just want to look cool). My calling him a douchebag is me stating the reality. Not calling him a douchebag without actual evidence of him acting like one in his last year in SA.

This is the last time I will explain myself. I feel this should be enough the clear the air.

Having said that, Toronto deserves a championship as a city. If it comes at the expense of my displeasure at Kawhi winning one, I will accept that and congratulate you guys. But I can never root for him to win it. I just know given the circumstances and matchups, Raptors got this.

Are you sure your hatred is only for Kawhi

Your fanbase proved my point when they celebrated KD's injury. I dont even have to try to justify my comments - Raps fan made my point

I still got raptors in 6 though.

1:12 mark

Reporter: Draymond, What makes Kawhi such a beast to deal with?

Draymond: Uh, he's a good player.

Reporter: Specifically, how would compare him to dealing with peak Lebron?

Draymond: He's a great player and Lebron is a out of this world - one of the greatest players we ever seen. Uh... different players though.

Reporter: How so?

Draymond: They, they got 2 different names. They like different people. Uh...like...yeah they just different. Um...they not the same person.

Just a special kinda a$$hole

Watch on YouTube

Didn't watch the video..but from what you wrote..He said Kawhi is a great player...And i think the last thing Dray wants to do right now is compare Lebron and Kawhi.

He's trying to get another chip..not praise Kawhi.

And why are there reporters asking questions like this? It's the finals and they still cant take Lebrons nuts out of their mouths? Ask questions related to the game they're going to play or things regarding GSW.

Again i didn't watch the video so im guessing it's the tone in which he is speaking in?

This isn't me being upset with Draymond. It is seriously one off the funniest responses I've seen in a while. Watch the video from 1:12 to 1:45. Truly epic response by Dray. I'm still laughing!

I think it’s awkward when reporters ask players to give heaping praise on their opponents in the midst of the finals. If I was a player I’d probably keep a minimal response.

We sacrificed Demar

Danny Green and Gasol need to step up tonight and Ibaka needs to keep up the big play. As much as I love Pascal, the warriors have made the desicion to not guard him on the line. He needs to take a few of those open 3s to start the game and if they don't fall its going to be tough playing him down the stretch. It really hinders Kawhis ability to get inside when the lanes clogged up like that.

how long are you gonna keep peddling this trash despite all evidence to the contrary?

and KD's career is gonna be just fine, will still get his money and will still be one of the top players in the league for the foreseeable future.

The stars are lining up for the Raps tonight. If they dont close it out tonight it's going to be a 50/50 game 7.

Not allowing Draymond to hack every drive or moving screens is obvs pro-Raptors agenda.

When equality feels like oppression...

Are you sure your hatred is only for Kawhi

Your fanbase proved my point when they celebrated KD's injury. I dont even have to try to justify my comments - Raps fan made my point

I still got raptors in 6 though.

You clearly don't get it... the fanbase didn't celebrate, some fans did. they don't rep all just like I hope you don't rep a whole fanbase because some of the garbage you have been writing on here is pretty bad and I thought like you I'd dislike a whole fanbase. Good thing I have some common sense and know 1 or a small sample doesn't represent a whole fan base.

He's not stable and honestly it's a little unfair to engage him with him being in such a fragile emotional state. We have to remember that some people who post here are dealing with emotional issues that extend into the real world. Just sayin' have a little empathy.

What evidence to the contrary? I don’t believe the misinformation campaign the Warriors have offered to the public.

An injured calf doesn’t lead to a ruptured Achilles. Only an already compromised Achilles leads to a ruptured Achilles. Or am I expected to believe Kevin suffered a one in a million chance combination of freak injuries?

That KD himself stated that it was HIS decision?

That KD was cleared by TWO different sets to doctors to play, including his own doctors?

Put the tinfoil hat down, this is starting to get sad.

Who's raising a banner?
