you f***ing nerd/Ostrich hybrid.

 

I wouldn't have billed NJH vs. Carlos Danger as a main event tier cat fight but here we are

Actually no Durant would give the Raps their only chance at an upset...if they made it that far of course. Durant still not doing any basketball activities

He and Cousins are already essentially ruled out of the start of the finals. Durant might have a shot at returning if it goes deep into the series.

They already beat the Warriors at home with Durant and no Kawhi. Raps have a perfectly reasonable shot.

So did the Knicks probably

Not when t's a 7 game series. Any one game? Sure.. but in a 7 game series we are quite the underdog.

They also beat the Warriors both times in the regular season. The Warriors actually seem pretty similar to the Bucks, now that I think.about it, and if the Raps maintain their crazy good perimeter defence, they could go all the way. They also have home court against GS.

Holy crap I actually didn't even realize this. So used to GS having a 75+ Win% that I was shocked to see we do have it. That will be huge if we advance to the finals.

This is why it might be the best opportunity/window the Raps ever have in the NBA Finals against a team like Golden State if they make it. Need to take advantage!

You’re smoking that Canadian ganja looks like. They are nothing like the Bucks. Bucks are something closer to Raps in years’ past. Yes, Raps never had a GA but it was a deep roster best built for regular season victories. Middleton had a good year this year but he’s always just been solid. Gordon, Lopez, Brogdon, Hill... all solid players making up a good team but Golden State has the #1 or #2 best player in the world. A Top 5ish guy in Curry. Based on both ends, a Top 15 guy in Klay and Marc Gasol-type in his prime. Their role players fill in admirable most of the time as well.

[connorp]

You don’t win 4 out of 5 titles by luck.

[Abomination]

Well, looks like we're battling more than just the Bucks tonight. ******** call there.

[Abomination]

Lowry is so smart on those breakaways. You never see him get blocked.

 

Also, we need to make some f***ing shots before we get buried.

It’s not my fault you take a simple approach to reading comprehension. I wasn’t trying to suggest Boxy was calling them lucky. I was just saying they’re an all-time great squad and in a different league than MIL

[Abomination]

Okay. Well, we bent but stopped the bleeding. Make some shots and we're fine.

[Abomination]

How did Siakam get that one to bounce in? It was off both in length and horizontally.

[Stoneyen]

We've missed a LOT of wide open 3s and layups, yet somehow still in it

[connorp]

You guys would be crying on these last few possessions

[Laika]

Kissed the glass off the first bounce

[Stoneyen]

Both teams absolutely ice cold

[Abomination]

Brand new game!

[Orgfiller]

Fred VanVleet is alive and he's giving us life!

[Horses Fart]

Total stealable game. Let’s Go!

Are you saying that Connor doesnt have a brain?

[Laika]

The perfect road game

[Orgfiller]

Gasol literally took an elbow to the face on a super illegal screen and there wasn't a call lmao.

[Abomination]

Down 3 at the half on the road. I'll take it.

 

Don't let them come out with a big run again to start the 3rd.

[Orgfiller]

I like how Giannis is just allowed to run people over.

[Abomination]

Not sure how that isn't an offensive foul, but at least Lowry didn't get one called against him on it.
