New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[jadis]

Curry is controlled. Gotta hand it to the Raptors defense.

 

[jadis]

This is over. This Raptors team is gutsy

Can I change my prediction?

Raptors in 5

Leonard MVP

Solid team the Ujiri built. Regular season I couldn't see much of the strength but now it's all jelling. Gasol, Ibaka ( I salute this guy for not whining while relegated to 9 min bench time most of the reg season), Lowry finally playing like his $29m salary. Leonard, words cannot describe him now but the best on both ends, like a superhuman, And Siakam, another speechless case to me, where did he come from? Same with Van Vleet, who unfortunately took a nasty cut and had to leave.

Will KD do a dramatic entrance for game 5?

Will KD do a dramatic entrance for game 5?

No

I'm betting we've seen the last of KD in a Warriors uniform

 

[jadis]

And just like Kyrie who was criticized for not supporting the team from the bench in last year's Game 7 of the ECF, KD is nowhere to be seen in the bench at all in the playoffs. He was seen at the locker room aisle the last game.

 

[jadis]

No

I'm betting we've seen the last of KD in a Warriors uniform

Wow, what a way to exit, for KD.

 

[Hi-FiGuy]

Well that was depressing. Still hope for my prediction, no matter how slim it is.

 

[jadis]

Warriors have to grind it out, but it seems Raptors are young and are like jumping beans. So much energy and very cool and calm and with such poise. Hats off to the club.

 

[Kcin]

What a great game - Raptors 2nd half was amazing lots of 3's
Looking forward to hopefully finish this in TO.

 

[Hi-FiGuy]

Warriors in the exact same position Houston was in, I think resistance is futile.

 

[jadis]

Did Paul Pierce proclaim the Series Is over?

 

[jadis]

The Spurs must be kicking themselves at how they handled the Kawhi 'injury'. He was supposed to be their post Duncan era star for a long time.

 

[jadis]

And I saw a clip of KD giving hand taps to each team mate as they walked into the locker room at the half. Warriors up by 4 then, but KD's face looked grim and even gloomy. He knows something.

 

[Steve Williams]

This is probably the best summary I've read.

KD is done. So are the Warriors

I posted the same here a few weeks ago

If Kawhi and Pop had kissed and made up this finals would be Spurs vs Bucks IMO

Kevin Durant injury update: Warriors star practices Sunday, listed as questionable for Game 5 of NBA Finals


Too bad a possible 'Willis Reed Entry' is not in front of the Oracle crowd.

 

[Steve Williams]

Well it all comes down to this


KD will play tonight. Will that be a good thing or bad thing. His rhythm has to be off as well as stamina

 

[Steve Williams]

Pardon me but he’s back.
His first two shots in 33 days are 3’s

 

[jadis]

Good sign.

 

[Steve Williams]

Problem is Warrors are playing sloppy Dee
