Yall just gonna ignore Charles Barkley picks the Raptors?

Dude is the curse you dont want.

I'm keeping my mouth shut and just enjoying.

But series starts in Toronto and no KD? I'm liking that.

 

[Techniec]

If Warriors didn't have KD at all, Raps take this

shyt... IF KD misses the first two games, Raps still in 7

 

[Kairi Irving]

Kyle Lowry untrustworthy.....

 

[Real N Quotes]

I like the Raptors in 7

It'll be interesting because ever since Durant went down, GSW haven't really won by out-talenting teams, they've done it with their basketball IQ and tenacity for the 50/50 plays. That's how they beat Houston the last 5 quarters of the WCSF. Houston lacked the tenacity and got killed on the glass, esp when Curry was in foul trouble.

And Portland, which was just a dumb defensive team, still was up 10-15 points in 3 of the 4 games before their poor defense and poorer bball IQ got exposed in GSW's late rally comebacks.

Toronto plays perimeter defense like Houston but with better defensive players, and they're a much smarter team than Portland. The two things are (1) will GSW impose their will on the 50/50 plays/offensive boards because Toronto's first line of defense will lead to contested perimeter shots ala Houston.. but that also means potential mismatches if they commit to the switch on the screens.

And then (2) Toronto's offense starts off pretty slow, or whenever Danny Green is on the floor, because he's unplayable. GSW gonna run them off the court if the Raps go through that cold spell/shooting like shyt and Warriors get the rebound on a semi fast break without worrying about a set Raptors defense. i.e. basically how the Bucks had success.

I think the series will be along the lines of the GSW/Rockets series, and it'll be if the Raptors have an answer for the Warriors BBall IQ and tenacity.

Gasol, Ibaka, Green are food for Steph right now. Kawhi too and you don't want him guarding Steph cause he'll get tired.

Clippers took them to 6. We have the best player in the league who neutralizes KD. OG could be back to add some bench power, and Danny Green is the greatest 3 point shooter in finals history who is bound to find his groove again.

Raps in 6.

Clips took them 6 for 2 reasons, 1)The Warriors blew a 31 point lead when Steph got in foul trouble and KD took 9 shots. 2)They got PnR to death with Lou Will and Harrell because they couldn't stop the roller at the rim. Don't be fooled.

You got to put FVV or Norm on Steph, but Kyle will have to chase him around as he relocates around the court.

that thread title.....

 

[MVike28]

Not really GSW rely on mistakes from the other team to get out on the break.. We know Fat Iverson and Danny Green ain’t Smart with the ball and when their offense goes to shyt they looking for Kwahi for a bailout...

Danny Green

If Nick Nurse is smart he keeps him to 15-20 mins a game

Suggest one better

 

[KillbertArenas]

Wheres the "Warriors in 1" option???
