>The west is ours
*blocks your path*
Some team in the West needs to pull a Raptors and gamble hard on one-year rentals of one or two superstars. Golden State isn't even a lock to make the playoffs next season without Durant and Klay. There's suddenly a power vacuum and somebody needs to move fast to fill it.
The problem is the Lakers could be pretty strong with where they are sitting right now and the potential trading power they have, but it really all comes down to management and ownership and if they don't screw up. But also, Ujiri took years to build up the Raptors and get the right pieces to trade for Kawhi. I don't see any team in the West that has those pieces for getting a trade of that magnitude.
Game of Zones special episode when?
Fuck kawhi the autist traitor and uncle Dennis. Fuck the raptor franchise which will move into irrelevancy now that he goes to LA .Kawhi deserves an acl injury more than kd, and klay combined. Dude can't speak in full sentences. Fucking retarded sperg. I hope he dies.
Not enough black players. Never gonna make it.
Have sex
I will with your mother.
You're gonna need a shovel and a passing knowledge of necromancy, good luck
Pathetic
jej
Giannis still mad it seems lel
validated
baste
>management and ownership
So many fans underestimate how much more impact this has on a team's success than the players and coaches
His career is over so it doesn't matter
Reminder the real Finals was Raptor vs &6ers
Reminder the real finale of this last series was Game 4, if Silver didn't refball Lowry, Siakam and Gasol with early foul trouble in Game 2. The true record is Raps swept the Warriors. Durant and Thompson wouldnt be ded too if Silver weren't so greedy.
name a more based champion
If KD hadn't played Game 5, toronto wins it in 5 and klay doesn't have to play a game 6 and doesn't tear his ACL
really makes you think. That 1 decision ended both of their careers and the entire warriors dynasty
(((*blocks your path*)))
Honestly, can’t help but feel this series was scripted from start to finish. The timing of major injuries, strange calls/no calls, odd timeouts, etc..Bur hey, you gotta give silver credit for keeping things fresh for us lowly peons and keeping us guessing right to the end.
>3 seasons
>3 rings
goat material
my raptor
brazil unequivocally btfo by kawhi and the raps
thinking of DeMar DeRozan's opening up about his battle with depression and anxiety last year and hoping he's doing alright
He was still a ring chasing bitch, who joined the best record team he couldn’t beat, weeeeeeak
Steph Curry without KD and Klay carrying him
et
>replace old school black coach with white nerd coach
>win championship
what are the lessons learned here?
hes comings back to win a couple rings with the nets
The good guys won bros!!
Spurs winning it now
Steph Curry = Luke Ridnour with a better supporting cast
Dis nigga good
This. DeRozan deserves his ring
Steph is literally gonna die carrying the warriors through regular season alone next season. Press F in advanced.
a friendly reminder that danny green injured klay in game 2 and successfully ended klay's career on game 6.
You can literally watch kd's achilles snap in the replay, and thompsons knee bent about 45 degrees the wrong way. I just don't see how you could script that
Enjoy it while it lasts Lebronto, the Wolf of the East has a real coach for the first time in his career. The new king is coming North.

(You)
Raptors win isn't impressive just like no one is impressed when the Warriors beat the Cavs when Love and Kyrie were down.
nigga why would they script two great player to have the worst injuries
Vindicated
Congrats are in order to the Toronto Raptors. The good guys truly won these past two days.
Memechuckers had it coming with the injuries.
we get it, you watch game of zones
masai ujiri has absolutely fucking killed it as raptors gm jesus christ
>big three gone, even Danny Green and Pau Gasol gone
>Kawaii gone, fuck Zaza but at least he got his revenge against GS
>didn't even make to second round of Finals
>Pop getting old, gotta retire someday
>just lost some coaching staff
it's hard bros
at least based Tony is staying in San Antonio, maybe Manu and Timmy too
What a legend
they should focus on making the playoffs
the kings and the lakers will improve, and dallas could surprise
If this was scripted KD wouldn't have gotten reinjured
Real talk, can the Spurs fix their awful road performance next season?
Lowry > Chris Paul
sorry user
so glad to see Curry miss another game winner.
Dallas is the superior Texas team, the Mavs dynasty begins next season get ready boys
>GSW Dead
All open for us to be king of the west.
Make way to your new dynasty

Nope, they're shit vs the raptors with or without him
Imanige winning a championship and not even wanting to defend it and instead signing with the team drafting 4th overall
How are we so strong lakerbros
thank you mr board man
If NBA didn't try to extend the series in Game 2, this would have been a 4-0 sweep and KD and Klay would not have been injured.
Really makes you think.
>gonna have to hear how kawhi is the best ever for a whole season when we all know kd would have stomped that faggot mute into the ground

He hates America. All of GSW are marxist onions boys.
>DeFrozan's legacy is now "the guy who got traded for real leadership material"
OH NO NO NO NO NO SOMEONE CHECK ON HIM.
is there a possibility that both durant and klay stay on the warriors with 1 year contracts ? i read somewhere theres an exception for injured players that can get half the money of their contract or something
>CHECK ON HIM
>CHECK
trips of truth
drose winning a chip with outside of Chicago doesn't count
You are the general manager of the Golden State Warriors and will be given 10 million if you can win the 2020 NBA finals, 0 otherwise. What the FUCK would you do?
Sign and trade KD for role players
Sign and trade Boogie for cash considerations
This
Obviously it's a bad enough injury that he's out for a year, but realistically, how much would this injury effect him as a player and his career? If he's able to come back at a similar level in a year, KD is still going to miles ahead of just about every player.
I want d rose on a contender. [spoiler]but not the faggot ass warriors[/spoiler]
lol you funny
Based and wholesome
We had to slash KD's Achilles
We had to bust Klay's knees
But in the end we bought basketball home and tore apart a dynasty in the process
lol
i'd say they block their own path, but except for Lebron, they have no potential to do anything
HEY NIGGERS

How dumb do you have to be to not understand that the Raptors are built better than the Warriors?
Lowry down? Van Vleet steps up
Danny down? Norman steps up
Gasol down? Ibaka steps up
Kawhi down? Everyone else steps up to replace his scoring
based leafs
Vanvleet, Lowry and Kawhi all are Americans. Kawhi is literally from Cali
>calling a home drafted bunch of who's a stacked superteam
still winning, even in death
I swear I feel like Lowry deserved that fmvp. He had one down game and it was game 2 and throughout the whole series he remained more consistent than anyone. Kawhi would at times would have great spurts in a qtr and then be completely missing the next.
>B-but your players aren’t Canadian! We actually won!
Cope
Enjoy irrelevancy and your new stadium in sanFAGcisco.
>Lakers
>Potential to do anything
LeBron’s mere presence makes people forget their FO is still the most cancerous in the league, which is amazing.
Honestly, they aren’t gonna make significant progress if every GM in the league hates yours.
we were literally irrelevant for years before this run, fuck SF and fuck you, this is the greatest fucking thing to ever happen, and all good things come to an end
Stay mad Cali faggot. Enjoy paying 3000$ rent to live next to the local heroin den.
I think it's a real possibility that KD goes to Dallas. I know they want him. With KP they already showed that they would be willing to wait for a player to come back 100% healthy. With Luka and KP being like 20 yrs old they are in no rush.
The Clippers will be fucking dominant next season, even without Kawhi. With Kawhi? Its fucking over.
There is no way Toronto is making it back next year, not like it even matters though.
Enjoy living in whatever irrelevant gibs me dat socialist flyover state you live in.

I agree desu famalama
Name 1 NBA player that was elite that tore their achilles and was the same when they returned.....
That injury changes careers. Durant can still be good, but he won't ever been the same as before it happened.
would root for this team desu
Closest is Paul George breaking his whole leg and coming back even better
Most of America was pulling for the Raptors. That is just butthurt warrior fags.
playing KD in game 5 was the stupidest most foolish thing they could have done
way to show that you give absolutely zero fucks about your player's livelihoods, chokeville
Thank you mr board man
Ah, good to see they’ve been cutting back.
A Champion
Riddle me this /nba/ how did a team of 2 all-stars in Shaw and Kobr with role players do a 3peat while a superteam like GSW with 3+ all-stars not live up to expectation?
this is the best part imo, we capitalized on our one chance and now if Kawhi leaves we get to slip into a comfy 2-3 years of tanking while we watch the shitshow of this off-season unfold.
Not with my Nuggies and Lakies.
I keep hearing this, yet I keep seeing salt threads from burgers.
Now the dust has been settled is this what cause everything what is happening now?
Now that the dust has settled, how do we get Danny green the fuck off the team?
That was JR levels of stupidity
It's a literal mystery. Draymond could have been suspended and the Warriors would still have no excuse to not win on the backs of Curry and Boogie. Pathetic desu.
my worries :(
What now bros? It might be over for us.
I do not even watch floorsqueak but I know the nba officials are pissed off that 'muh dynasty' lost so haha.
At least Danny had one big game and played good D, not to mention that he was one of the reasons why Klay got fucked even though it was a clean foul. So don't even compare him to JR fucking Smith.
they should have lost in 02, the NBA literally got caught rigging the WCF
a player of kds caliber and age getting that injury is unprecedented, comparing previous cases to him is pointless. hes an unguardable freak and his playstyle isn't something that lives and dies by his explosiveness. his bball iq will allow him to change up effortlessly too.
Pascal, OG, VanVleet finna boutta be the next Tim, Manu, Tony :^)
>Warriors in 4
>Warriors in 5
>Warriors in 6
>Warriors in 7
Now that the dust has settled, can we discuss these posts that didn't age well?
Kawhi Leonard "3x All-Star, 1x FMVP, 2x All-NBA"
Kyle Lowry "5x All-Star"
Marc Gasol "3x All-Star, 1x Champ, All-NBA"
Serge Ibaka "3x All Defense "
Paskal Siakam "NBA D-League Champion"
>not many drafts there
Why is he wearing neon yellow sneakers?
Tbh Warriors were dominating game 6 before Klay got hurt.
he'll be prime Melo tier after his injury and it's poetic that the Knicks will also get stuck with him
This was a fun team to watch. Too bad they rigged game 6 for the Lakers.
weird way to say nuggets
>Kyle Lowry "5x All-Star"
best part is everybody ragged on him literally every single year he made the all star team saying he didn't deserve it
Doesn't matter anyways. They had this one window and took it
All in the game.
Steve Kerr was too busy doing sjw shit instead of coaching.
He could've used the regular season to develop the bench players giving them some playing time or do some moves before the deadline to rectify bench depth but instead he chose to run his starters ragged. This was a coaching and GM failure.
So is Kerr exposed ?
>Curry: Exposed
Sad!
Not with the Nuggets and the Clippers on board
This Bucks uniform is better than the current one.
> Klay injured
> KD injured
> Cousins injured
> Looney injured
> Iguodala injured
Is Kerr exposed?
Is Curry exposed?
The only exposed team is the fraudulent 2019 Championship Raptors*
because soul / no soul
More like draymond got exposed. He's gone if KD and Klay re-sign on the max.
>tfw literally everybody here doubted our one year rental and has to look at us now
What's he thinking rn?
He was cool with Kawhi the whole time though.
about his next SJW rant
draycoon is shit
He's happy for his man.
Based retard
>Let KD, Boogie and Klay walk
>Trade Draymond for anything
>sign 2 of the top 10 free agents (Jimmy Butler and Kris Middleton)
>Fill out your bench and rest of lineup with 3 and D players
They wont do any of that and will resign Klay, probably Boogie and will try with KD but I think he's gone.
they doubted the load management too even though Pop tried and tested it for years
w-we can win a ring for DeRozan r-right?
Not if Pop doesn't make him into a truly great player that doesn't bend under pressure.
The fucking Klay in that pic makes me laugh every god damned time
I feel happy for Marc. He finally got a ring. It's too bad Conley is still stuck in that hellhole.
>let Klay walk
No, you can't do that and you'd be retarded to.
Maybe. Derozan play some pretty good and improved playoff basketball. He still kinda choked though. He needs to see a the rapist to get over the mental hurl.
If Kawhi retired right now he'd be a 1st ballot 2x Champ, 2x FMvp
He has a torn ACL. The guy I was replying to said you have to win the championship next season. Klay on the bench all of next year helps nobody but the other 29 NBA teams. A tough decision but if you wanna win NOW you do it.
>see a rapist
Like how Kevin Nash saw 6 rapists in the sweltering hot Summer of 1992
You won't win, no matter what you do.
So when Kawhi leaves, and we don’t resign Gasol or Lin, how should be build to 2peat?
He should get a 2k cover
Dwane Casey status?
You should probably snatch Jimmy Buckets if he goes.

Hopefully his New Balance sneakers will be featured in the new game. Not even joking.
re-sign JV
sign Jimmy Cancer
need a true big to get past philly, assuming medical joe isn't ded by playoffs
Lebron, AD and Kawhi? Oh yeah. Get ready for another Lakies' dynasty. Get ready for nonstop crying from everybody.
Things just look better and better for our team every day. Toronto and Golden State will be irrelevant next year and I think everybody will appreciate that. Would love to see us crush either Boston or Philadelphia next year in the Finals.
I see the Warriors being freakishly major injury free for the past 4 years or so finally caught up with them all at once
You wont make the Playoffs next year either faggot
We don’t need to. We’ve accomplished what we set out to do: making the Americucks eternally assblasted. They had 30 teams, we had 1, they got BTFO. We can remind them of this fact forever. It’s the new burning down the White House.
Gonna be so hype if OG actually pans out
Even if he leaves will leafs be that mad? The man brought you a fucking championship in his only season there.
>Even if he leaves will leafs be that mad?
nope, literally accomplished exactly what he was traded for
Redpill me on Jimmy Butler. The man broke Wiggins and will probably break Simmons. He's hated by Towns but he seems cool with Embiid though.
Best young core? Check. Best player? Check. Best options (can sign max FA)? Check. Brandon Ingram? Check.
You name your team and we'll see how the head-to-head looks next year, chump.
Gasol has a player option that he can opt into.
Danny is gone or back on a veteran minimum
Jodie is gone
Mccaw is gone
Lin is gone
This. Kawhi can walk away without ruffling any feathers.
Based bench threepeat
Wiggins is trash for that 150m contract though
>The man broke Wiggins
Wiggins is cool with him tho
It caught up with them. Just like how lebron suffered the majority of his injuries this season.
It’s actually good he leaves. This was his prime and his injuries will only slow him down exponentially
>inb4 it's Kobe, Shaq, Malone and Payton Lakers all over again
Probably not. The Raptors went all-in on one final push before a major tank and rebuild.
Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if they dedcided to re-sign DeRozan if Kawhi leaves.
He played really bad after Game 1. Honestly Lowry and fucking VanVleet were better in the finals than Siakim and Leonard.
He was the only reason Philly got to 7 games with Toronto, he was mad clutch and balled like crazy.
fuck the pistons
>not the 2012 lakers
Best player?
Not anymore user. You know it deep inside that he's not the best anymore
>Best options
hmm debatable. New York? Brooklyn?

The Clippers will assrape your faggot young core who got absolutely exposed when Lebron went down. Speaking of Lebron, hes rapdily aging, he’ll get injured again. So good luck with that. Also, Kawhi is coming so youre doubly fucked. Without Kawhi the current Clippers core will collapse your anus and pussy into one cavernous hole, but with Kawhi? Your entire lower torso is going to be a pile of hamburger meat once theyre done fucking you apart, bitch.

Lillard is way better than Kyrie, and Kyrie is my favorite player.
About how his guided missile took out Golden State.
In the "To be seen" category
>no talent
>won FMVP
I find that hard to believe.
they FUCKING DID IT
alright seasons over lets go back to the comfy generals with my three other leaf bros shitting on the bucks
Sorry, but Lameian Lillard is a chucker who got exposed hard in a big series. Kyrie won a title put up 30ppg in the finals. Kyrie can win you championships because he knows how to use his manlet body to get tough points
Where my frenemy at?
I predict he’ll have a Blake Griffin type career. He’ll make the first team all nba once or twice as a forward in his career.
Kyrie has a bitch mentality. He needs daddy Lebron to guide him.

Thank you mr board man
can we stop pretending that Draymond is anything but a role player now
Imagine if the Maple Leafs won next year
these. kd would have dicked down the entire craptors team.
The reason why the Pistons won is because Malone got injured. Lakers looked legit as fuck against teams like the Spurs when Malone was healthy. Malone was far and away their 3rd best player. When he went down their 3rd best was Derek Fisher. You’ll never win a championship if Fisher is your third best.

so happy he got to redeem himself
also really glad marc got a ring, man absolutely deserved it
that watermark
He will most likely ruin whatever team chemistry the Nets just recently built.
Westbrook is still better than liLLard. Sorry sweetie.
Am I the only person who thinks Zion is a major injury risk and the Pelicans should look into scouting Jah a little more closely?
Oh, and if Zion doesn’t learn how to shoot by the time he hits 30 his career is going to fall off the cliff. I predict he’ll have multiple knee injuries in his career unless he loses 20 pounds. You can’t be 6’7 and 285 and expect to survive an 82 game schedule year in and out for a decade.
what a god dream season
Why did Toronto drop purple and adopt Portland's color scheme?
I like those Denver odds. They have just a good of shot as any next year. All they need to do is add one consistent scorer who can play defense. Somebody like a Middleton.

Maybe they think “Hey, raptors just tossed out the COTY and the newbie got them a ring, Maybe well be ok too”
Though theyre forgetting 2 things. One is that Luke Walton has a job because of his last name and 2, Divaq couldn’t build a team if you had cheat codes to see into the future because he wouldn’t like that they don’t have 5 Centers on the court
They also lost twice at home to the Clippers. Western Conference is a creampuff farm league
What exactly does this loss validate? That you need more than two (or one) players capable of making shots to win a championship in 2019? Hot take.

Either the GSW just exposed how fucking retarded they are they thought they could have KD out there and not fuck the Achilles or they’re just fucking black hearts and sent a dude out to chase after that 3peat.
Stay mad faggot
Lebron is coming back with a vengeance next year. Mark my words.
just so y'all know RBL just added another championship (and finals mvp btw haaaa) and that its now 23 COMBINED championships

>yfw RBL hosts the nba finals next year with the Lakers and Raptors
What a great time to be alive
A team that successfully 3peated or the Warriors that couldn't? I know who I'm going with.
He saved the league
>Klay actually tore his ACL
>KD tore his Achilles
This is going to be a very interesting offseason.
This is Curry’s most memorable moment in his finals career.
Thank you to based board man and my toronto raptor for killing the warriors and burying their dynasty
The dinosty has begun
The warriors ran into injuries, but that’s the risk you take when you sacrifice the bench for the stars.
Well first of all being an all star doesn't mean anything.
Second if you think the team was just Shaq and Kobe you're exposing yourself. There's a lot of factors that go into constructing a team.
In the modern NBA, you simply cannot win a chip with only two players capable of shooting.
Third injuries.
Someone said that Kawhi went home and told his family he’s back from his work trip then did the dishes.
The warriors need to give both the max or their reputation is tarnished.
No, they only need to give Klay max and let KD walk.
I might actually watch the off season now
For years, they made fun of RBL. They called us a hollow broship. They tried to create the SCR broship which lasted a month. Broships came and broships left and through it all RBL held the candle alive until this glorious day. Now RBL runs the league and everybody is seething and freaking out. This is truly the greatest timeline.
Kino storyline
>Raptors resign Kawhi
>Lakers get AD
>Lakers trade Lonzo to the Bulls and they git gud
Holy shit we are literally going to run train on this league. /nba/ is gonna be so mad.
twitter.com
Why is no one talking about this?
>Steph punched a wall
>Max kellerman - someone should have put up a 3 second shot clock and he’d miss the wall
Max is not letting him live
God I hate wh*Te people so much.
The Warriors did go to 5 straight finals and produced a 73 win team, but that 73 win team lost to Lebron which negated that season.
On the other hand Lakers theepeated but only made it to the finals 4 out of 5 seasons. Then again the western conference was extremely strong during that era, but the eastern conference was stronger in the warriors era.
It’s a toss up but I have to go with the three peat team and pick the Lakers
It's actually no up to them to let KD walk. He can choose to opt-in into the remaining year of his contract or become an FA. If KD feels he won't get what he wants from other teams, he can just rehab with the Warriors while taking a big part of their salary cap.
How fucking ((((((lucky)))))) is Cleveland to have one of the greatest NBA talents be born in Ohio and were given the first pick to draft him
>Raptors "managed" Kawhi's injury
>Warriors snapping ACLs for days
Poetry
There was a poll across all the states, and only California and Nevada were pulling for GS.
1. Kahwi
2. Lebron
3. Curry
4. Davis
5. Harden
6. Giannis
7. Jokic
8. PG13
9. Embiid
10. Butler or Gobert
>tfw the devil collected his debts in blood right in front of us
Would smash fem KD.
>only wins because of injuries
>celebrates the injuries
different sporting cultures i guess...
I take the Lakers by default solely because they didn't do the biggest throw in the history of the NBA. I'd also take them over Golden State since they were a more formidable foe and could have easily taken them head on and would have probably demolished them, but that's a bit stupid to say since comparing different eras doesn't fare well so just ignore this last part.
He'll walk, it's already set in stone and nobody expects him to stay.
Didn't Siakam deserve finals MVP? Kawhi was irrelevant last night and choked both defeats by being shit in the 4th quarter
kawhi was never irrelevant, gets doubled and fouled to shit every single possession
Might be happy for kawhi
Kyrie got fully exposed this season.
As the main guy he makes his teammates worse and plays really bad hero ball. As a secondary guy, are you really going to tell me Lillard wouldn't be a better second guy to Lebron than Kyrie was?
FMVP belonged to either Lowry or FVV unironically
For me it went
1. Lowry and Vanvleet
2. Siakam
3. Ibaka
4. Kawhi
The RBL regime has officially started. When will the Bulls pick up their slack?
Are you kidding me? Kawhi wasn't just a scoring machine that delivered when his team got cold, he also played fantastic d and got a lot of fucking rebounds. He deserved the FMVP and there's no doubt about it.
Barkley said it best.
>Minority owner goes out of his way to shove a player and spew obscenities at him
>1 year ban
>Cop confuses the president of basketball for the raptors, gets shoved for putting hands on him and lying about him not having indentification when ITS IN HIS FUCKING HANDS
>bringing out trump charges
2 times now, 2 times Raptors were disrespected in Oracle. Fuck them. I’m surprised they didn’t pull the “I felt threatened” excuse for why Lowry got shoved or Ujiri getting fucking held up from celebrating with his own god damn team.
Only in America I suppose
If the Warriors were smart they would convince both Klay and Durant to leave and sign Vucevic, Redick, Hood and trade Drayboon to the Lakers for Kuzma and Hart
C: Vucevic
PF: Kuzma
SF: Iggy
SG: Hart
PG: Curry
Bench: Redick, Hood, Looney, Mckinee, Bell
It would be the deepest team Curry ever played for.
I think my car horn ran out of honks
Yes Lebron is better than Curry, thank you for the take
rebounds against the warriors is reletive, their 2 "big" starters are 6'7 and 6'8, and the guards are some outside babbies who don't even contest them
Based
Lebron is statistically the most clutch superstar of all time
I want to agree but the games they lost, he wasn’t that good and he never had a truly huge game, Siakim at least had a great debut was but I understand he wasn’t that great the rest of the way. He still put up a number only Jordan and AI pulled off
For the GSW series, Lowry should’ve won the MVP. Overall, Kawhi is the biggest reason we got to GS so I wonder if that influences the final vote
same, last night was fun
FVV, Lowry and Spicy P were nice but you guys can be pretty fucking dumb sometimes.
thats my point it's absurd yet just like 2 years ago niggas was saying it's Cuckph Cuckkys league now
Only absolute morons(commiefornia and brazil) were saying that and they are all subhuman
As Patt Riley once said: "No rebounds, no rings."
I get where you're coming from, but Kawhi was mostly 30+ in the series and always brought the heat when his team needed him, hell, even even contributed a lot in their 10-0 run in game 5 and made a lot of contested layups and +1 plays, not to mention those FTs at the end, so I think he has earned it fair and square and that no one should have gotten it but him. Van Vleet was great, and especially Lowry that completely took over in the 1st half, but at the end of the day gotta go with Board Man.
all time NBA GOAT
1. Jordan/Curry
2.Lelbron
3.Kawhi
4.KD
5.Klay
BOARD IT UP BOARD MAN
Who do you got?
0. FVV
I don't mind the raptors winning. But go fuck yourselves. Seriously.
t. yonge resident
For me it’s the Suns
I was in Sauga tho
kawhi's best stats were in a 20 points win, Idk, for me elimination/title games are more relevant and he wasn't that special in the last 2 games, ie the most important ones
also, the player who should guard him (durant) didn't play in the series, iggy is based and all but he's 35 years old
Big men are consistently over-drafted and underperform because they are perceived as being less risky than guards.
Zion will probably do okay, though.
Yea as much as I’m not a fan of unga bunga, only points matter, I guess it just works out anyway for Kawhi.
yes 3 years ago people still had stupid takes. thank you for the take.
If my Heaties don't get to draft Rui (or even worse if they have the chance yet pass on him) I am going to be so mad.
boomer post
as expected from a curry
Bucks or Clippers if Kawhi goes
Got to watch the last 2 minutes of history. It’s coming home
But it's not just the points that got him the FMVP award, he did play great D all series long and blocked Curry and Klay in game 6 alone so he earned it. Perhaps you would have loved it better if Lowry gotten it to make his redemption arc even better, but Kawhi is as good a pick as any other so don't really see a reason to complain. Besides, who cares about FVMP when you get the fucking ring?
If I had the money I would put a cheeky $1k on the Spurs.
Based and Chenpilled
Fact: either 76ers or Bucks would also have defeated these Warriors, and probably in less than 6 games
I know, that’s why I said it works out for him anyway, because he has other tangibles than just the scoring
Thank you board man
Will you enjoy 2020 West Conference Finals?
Raptors, Rockets, Sixers, Spurs are good value
Knicks and Warriors are bad value.
Everything else seems reasonable.
They wouldn't, they would have crumbled under the pressure and wouldn't be ready for them. Toronto won because they grinded it out throughout the whole run and had strong mental from start to finish.
C O P E
Spurs or Blazers
this. raps are mental giants
philly are huge crybaby frauds and milcucky still cant make it past the 1st round
as soon as 2021 odds come out i'm putting my savings on the miami heat
I had a vision it's going to happen they'll have massive cap space it's my only chance to get rich...
Thank you Mr Board Man
>GSW loses to a fat guy, a barely 6 foot tall undrafted drake lookalike and an african guy who started playing basketball like 5 years ago while kawhi is asleep
not hating on the raptors tho, I was rooting for my man lowry
just saying pretty much every top eastern team would have won the chip this year
Orlando too, they would have beat the Warriors in 5
Remember, it seems few do, but it was the new ownership of Rogers and Bell who gave Larry Tannenbaum the reigns to hire a new President of MLSE. He hired Tim Lewieki right out of L.A. who was the architect of the championships for the Galaxy, Lakers and Kings. Well Tim hired Masai, Tim B. the TFC General manager and Shanny. Guess what has happened in the 5 or so years of the new ownership? TFC won, Marlies, won and now the Raptors. It all starts at the top with the right ownership. Something that was lacking here in Toronto since before Ballard took over. No disrespect to Labbatts and the Blue Jays. Leafs are next, bank on it. Might take another yr or two, Rome wasn't built in a day. Bank on it. Thank you Larry & Tim for building winners.
>Masai Ujiri under investigation for suspicion of battery against deputy
Washington can bail you out with that $10 million
The Nuggets are just easy money. Improving young roster, 2nd in the West this year and have the 11th best odds? There is not better value on there, prove me wrong.
Sacramento metro area has well over a million people. Everything is biggest in California.
thank you mr board man
This, they just need to weed out shitty players from their roster, get some better bench players and they're set to be a contender with Jokic and Murray leading the charge.
Thank you mr board man
wtf i want to buy new balance shoes now
for the Next season.
What would my team be in the NBA?
I need
> Losing team
> Pathetic Team
> Team without any Championship
> Team with very low attendance
> Team with One Fanbase Very weak and very Poor
> Team That very rarely play the playoffs
> irrelevant team
> team that lives Under the shadow of a more popular, more successful, more winning and more important soccer team of Major League Soccer
i don't think they'll do it next year
i'd like to be wrong, though
The nuggets are objectively the best team in the west next season with KD and Klay out of the picture
Biggest draft busts in NBA history
1. Fultz - a team traded up for him and he has yet to play a half season because he has mental problems
2. Bennett - it was a weak draft but he was straight garbage
3. Olawakandi - centers were the meme in the 90s.
4. Darko - he was a #2 pick but damn, the pistons could have had a dynasty If they drafted one of Wade/Melo/Bosh
5. Derrick Williams - This guy actually existed and was a #2 pick. Complete bust
6. Oden - it’s not fair to put him here because of injuries but man he failed the hype machine hard. I could see Zion having an Oden type career too.
7. Bargnani - it was a weak draft but he was an awful #1 pick
8. Bowie - he was pretty good but you have to pick Jordan or Barkley over him
9. Kwame - he had a decent career but he did not even belong in the top ten of that weak ass draft
10. Thabeet - complete and utter meme. Imagine drafting Tako at the #2 pick.
Hello Mr. Timberwolves fan
Kawhi buzzed seems wonderfully goofy
Thank you Mr Boardman.
>warriors able to sign KD and KT on lower contracts because of injury and age
>fake an injury (ankles) for curry at the start of next year

Cap it
About taking the Smith & Wesson retirement plan
Clippers. LA Galaxy are more popular than them.
Charlotte
A team that has never EVER even made it to the conference finals.
bye, baby
thank you mr board man
Lol oh so now that 2015 Championship doesn’t matter? It sure mattered the last 4 years
KD is a pussy that gets to play 1 on 1 everytime since he's surrounded by GOAT shooters
Based board man averaged almost 30 in the finals with GOAT defenders trapping him every time he touched the ball and playing with knee tendonitis.
>Daniel Green
you both need to Go
Literally the only reason no-one has said the Suns is because everyone forgot the Suns existed
>Lowry:take your trophy Man
>Kawhi: you my mvp man. Feeling good babeeeee
Between this, and Lowry giving VanYeet his media questioning, this is some wholesome shit
Embarrassed to be white and American desu.
Are they the only team that you could say that they would never be defeated if they stayed healty forever
>KD is a pussy
Say what you will, but KD is a great fucking player and one of the greatest shooters ever simply because of the fact that he's nearly unguardable and your only hope is that he misses. He's the biggest reason the Warriors got their last two titles and he always delivers, no matter the pressure so cut him some slack.
would it have been better for the warriors to lose the series vs the clippers? imagine how healthy and rested they would be for next year.
>Toronto won because they grinded it out
This is the kind of brain rot that you'll see on ESPN shows. Just a vague narrative that means absolutely nothing... "they grinded it out"...
Let's compare that to "The Warriors lost to a weaker team because they had significant injuries, even going into the series". KD was sparking them while injured, he appeared in this series for a mere matter of minutes. It's not hard to understand that him not playing was the deciding factor.
that wouldnt explain why lebum and his band of bums in Cleveland beat them
Ummm buddy, you see KD on left, right?
2014 San Antio Spurs
2015 Golden State Warriors
2016 Cleveland Cavaliers
2017 Golden State Warriors
2018 Golden State Warriors
2019 Toronto Raptors *
Only because the refs bailed them out
>actually thinking they lose without the draymond suspension
RBL movie when?
True. 1 on 1 he is unstoppable but I want to see if he can lead his team to a chip when he's not surrounded by GOAT shooters and is seeing doubles every possession.
based
The answer is easily Charlotte my guy. They are literally tied for worst odds to win the title with a bunch of tanking teams despite actually trying to compete. The Pistons also fit this category but they have won titles and have a rich history. No team is in a worse position going forward than Charlotte. They always take low ceiling players in the draft. Never take any risks. It's like they are just happy they are here for the ride.
Who should i support next year if i want a good team with 40% chances of winning it all?
Maybe nuggets? 76s?
If it’s lakers and raptors next year in the finals It will be all love. The least toxic finals in history. Bros for life.
2015 Golden State Warriors*
2016 Cleveland Cavaliers*
2017 Golden State Warriors*
2018 Golden State Warriors*
well young man I heard he used to play for a team called the thunder, you should bust out the old reels and see the very thing you described
There is no team with a 40% chance of winning it all
KD led OKC to a chip? Nah he bitched out.
I don't care what anyone says. This team is legendary. True warriors.
Looney playing with an injured chest, KD coming in to help despite his calf injury, and Klay's most iconic moment in shooting FTs with an ACL injury.
Klay is a true Warrior. He fucking wanted to play more minutes and get in the game. He must've been in so much pain. How can anyone disrespect this man? He was in killer mode and it sucks that he had to go down.
Raptors were doubted since the start and were plagued by problems, but they overcome each and every one of them, so saying that they grinded it out isn't a vague brain rot statement. Quite the contrary. Also, stop nullifying Toronto's achievement here just because of injuries. They're part of the game and what ifs are of no concern to me. What would have happened last year when the Rockets were 3-2? What would have happened in 2015 if LeBron had Kyrie and Love being healthy? What would have happend if x was z and y? Simply put, Toronto won and the rest is history.
Give him a competent team like Kawhi had and I think he has a chance at pulling it off.
Would the Hornets lose to the combined talent of the North Carolina college basketball teams?
>Fred vanFleet is a gamer
I know what he means but that word has been forever changed for me.
toronto raptors****
let's be honest
But lebum never played that team, you fucking newfag bandwagon
But OKC had some good players and also Westbrick.
>raptors undefeated at Oracle
Fucking delicious californiafag tears
Were they booing as the raptors were presented the championship?
Injuries and exhaustion are a part of the post-season. There is no asterisk for any chip.
>I want KD to singlehandidly carry a bunch of scrubs to the chip against a theoretical team that would likely be in the finals because of a stellar chemistry
why demand outlier situations and bitch when they don't happen? the fuck is the point?
Thank you Mr board man
Imagine if the Sixers drafted Tatum instead of Fultz:
C: Embiid
PF: Tatum
SF: Butler
SG: Shamet
PG: Simmons
This team would have been a legit dynasty.
>puts an asterisk next to Toronto Raptors
lol
I mean, Klay and Looney didn't play for half of game 3.
They were out game 4 and Klay was out for game 6.
>Were they booing as the raptors were presented the championship?
I'm just going to go ahead and assume that you're a bandwagon.
>3 rings in your first 3 seasons
How do you even have the will to keep playing?
Thank you Mr. Board Man.
Also rare Kawhi
$$$
Clearly you don't know about the literal asterisks given to the 1999 Spurs, 1994 Rockets and 1958 Hawks
Money
Are you the guy who is always spamming "Your tears are delicious" and stuff like that? 10-year-olds considered that a stale phrase on 9gag... years ago... bro.
crazy logic. he's not MJ winning the games or something. he would have just as much drive as anyone else to succeed himself. you think some guy who never sees a minute is thinking like "well ive accomplished it all now... i'm come full circle" lol wtf
Literally everyone is hungover and doing shit all at work today. You are a fucking moron for thinking any work was getting done today. Should have celebrated with the rest of us.
clean it
You're right, Durant is no Kawhi.
What would the NBA be like if black people were still slaves in America?
When Klay came back through the tunnel to sink two FTs is probably the loudest I've ever heard an NBA crowd.
They would still play, but for free.
It would be a third world European sport like soccer. All the bad people in the world would congregate in Europe. Riots would be out of control.
No one has ever claimed Curry was better than Lebron. Even Warriors fans aren't that delusional.
nobody takes this raps title seriously. it was due to injury
end of discussion
thank you mr.board man
Yass queen, slay.
Sucks to get injured and lose i guess
I work from home and haven't even gotten out of bed lol

All 5 of their all stars played during the series unlike the rapties whose bench was decimated with OG being out
Casual retards won't like it but it's current year and Kevon Looney is the most valuable free agent on the market.

OG Anunoby is absolute garbage
can confirm, HUEzil is the most bandwagonner country in the world in any sports
>this
can't wait till till masai is arrested
curry has been better than lebron for several years
Kawhi was unstoppable you braindead fuck, and in the fourth quarter in game 5 he hit back to back threes and a two in the span of like 3 minutes
Asterisk title.
just like 2015, 2017 and 2018

Warriors suck dick
now you know how klay feels every day
Can I root for steph now? I never wanted to look like a bandwagoning faggot so I forced myself to dislike him, but I really enjoy watching him play
His numbers are going to be awful because he’ll finally start getting double teamed. Instead of going 50-45-90, he’ll go 42-40-90 while averaging 30ppg.
Yeah, you can do whatever you feel like man.
probably
Idk how anyone does futures over props. It's like picking up heroin where there's meth available.
Did you even watch the series? You’re just patently wrong. Klay went out in game 2 with 6 minutes left and the Warriors won it, then he missed game 3. He played in game 4 and led the Warriors in scoring with 28. He only missed the 4th quarter in game 6. Why lie about this when we all just watched it?
He's not even 28 yet dude and he's smart enough to know when to rest and take care of his body
>Imagine if he signs for the Clippers and they win a championship with another FMVP
This sounds insane but with GW gimped, I say why not. There's only 2-3 players that can change a team, one is injured, the other is stuck in cancer called lakers so Kawhi might get it done. We know Harden, Lillard and company are chokers, regular season babies.
He gone, enjoy mediocrity again
