I really thought the bucks would advance. You think Toronto will win a game vs GS? I am predicting a sweep

 

[mal3volent]

I think Toronto wins 1 game. That's it. Sigh.

[cj]

I wish i knew a bookie. Toronto being favored tonight is a joke

 

[cj]

Shows what i know......

 

[mal3volent]

I knew they'd win one of these first two games, just wasn't sure which one.

If they win again Sunday that will really make things interesting.

 

[mal3volent]

Who you got @cj ?

 

[cj]

I think GS ties the series.

 

[mal3volent]

Man this season has been such a let down. Toronto was so close to going 2-0, and that's what they needed to have a prayer of winning this series.

I don't get what happened in the third quarter. How do you go on a 18-0 scoring deficit at HOME in game 2 of the NBA Finals? That's speaks to Kawhi as a leader or Nick Nurse, or both... you can't let that shit happen.

Oh well. It's about to be 3-1 GS and I suspect KD will come strolling in at that point. Probably end up being Warriors in 6 like I said

 

[cj]

The 18-0 run was coaching. Its not a coincidence that the warriors go on a crazy run out of halftime so often. Kerr is out scheming other teams. That said Toronto looked lethargic the entire second half.

 

[mal3volent]

Oh fuck yeah. I'm so glad Toronto won that game. Going to make the rest of the series much more interesting!

I get GS has a ton of injuries...but it's not like those players weren't capable of winning.

 

[mal3volent]

What's everyone think about the reports that Kyrie is going to Brooklyn?

They made a trade with the Hawks to give them enough cap space for another max free agent.

Which free agent would make Kyries Nets a contender in the east?

 

[mal3volent]

Warriors are fucked.

I wonder if KD will play or if he's already looking past these Finals?

 

[cj]

That was crazy last night. GS just looked emotionally defeated. Seeing Curry and Klay miss a ton of 3s was pretty shocking. I kept thinking they would make a run but it just never happened. I am glad. If KD doesnt come back in MVP form for game 5 its curtains on the dynasty

 

[mal3volent]

I think one things for sure. It's gonna be one hell of an offseason.

 

[cj]

For sure! I am looking forward to tomorrows game. I read an article saying the warriors are having some internal issues with people thinking Durant is malingering

 

[mal3volent]

Those handshakes between him and the rest of the team going to the locker room these past two games looked pretty damn awkward.

Lol he's gone for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if Klay left too.

 

[cj]

That was a devastating loss. I thought they had it won. I knew Durant tore has Achilles soon as he went down

 

[mal3volent]

I think Toronto wins 1 game. That's it. Sigh.

Raptors in 6! I called it haha.

I wonder how much klay and kds injuries will hurt their free agency prospects
