This potentially could be the best Finals ina decade though the 3-1 shyt despite my feelings about it was inarguably a great series and an infamous moment in professional basketball..

And I agree with the 2nd part of your post. We’re at the apex of this “reactionary, hot take era” and this thread, IG/Twitter are prime examples of this.. and I don’t see shyt changing anytime soon
dap and rep... I'm going to just watch NBA TV so I can enjoy this from here on out. Facebook and Forums are bizzaro mode... Raptors should take this cause Warriors arent a full team... but there's time for anything to happen. All the dikk riding isnt even necessary at all :russ: If warriors win they got a 3peat and the best shooters deserve it ... If Raptors win, Kawhi blows up even more, Gasol gets a ring and Jeremey Lin. Siakim emerges as a sleeper allstar. Danny Green wins another ring. Either way this goes it will be a good look for the game :yeshrug:

agreed on the last sentence... I dont know what to tell you if you dont think the spurs are boring

2013 you mean Miami being exciting and the spurs choking
2014 the normal spurs were back to destroy them and it was incredibly low in viewership

amazingly 2007 finals spurs and cleveland was the lowest all time in rating.

3 years with below average or record breakingly low numbers all featuring the spurs and a form of Lebron

Spurs VS nets in 2003 only had 5.3million viewers :whoo: with the average being 7.5

Spurs Vs Pistons barely cracked 7 million too... all well below average ... people only tuned in for the last games in all the spurs series



compare that to Lakers Vs Philly ... they sit at a comfortable 12 million per game

not calling you out just throwing them numbers out there because ive never seen them laid out for every finals like that

NBA Finals television ratings - Wikipedia
No, I meant what I said.

San Antonio's style of play in 2007 was a night and day difference to how they played in those 2013/2014 Finals. They flipped the switch in 2010 after being a consistently good defensive team for so long and rebranded their offense. Literally had a video made for them playing the beautiful game. I'm not posting it here because well, it's time for other teams to shine and we're on to bigger and better things.

If you thought that was a boring team, then I don't know what to tell you. I don't care about viewership numbers. That 2014 Spurs squad played some of the greatest basketball I have ever seen.

breh dont waste your time with these americans. They hate the raptors, magic down 1-0 oh its over for toronto same ol raptors. Raptors down 2-1 to philly its done its over, raptors are trash and soft. Rpas down 2-0 to bucks, same old raptors garbage.

Start of series golden state in 4, warriors 31-1 in their last 32 without durant, warriors score at ease, ball movement this and that

raps had warriors in a vice grip, beat them for the third time this year but all you hear is excuses.

No one gives the raptors defense credit, marc gasol was old and a f ossil and washed up he could barely play this series they said. Gasol scores 20 points, is on the perimeter guarding steph curry looking like kevin love on curry out there.

They just cant take it

Raps got the best fans in the nba, even the halftime ish with former players, many of those guys SPURNED the raptors, stoudamire, mcgrady, bosh, but once a raptor always a raptor. Jerome williams played 2 damn years in a raptor uniform and dude is revered in this city. These haters cant take it

I said this during the Bucks/Raps series, the fact that either one of them was gonna make the Finals is enough satisfaction for me, its something new

He admitted he don’t watch the raps. How that mean he don’t watch ball. That was the best game of pascals life. Raptors are ass and boring even to the regular nba fan

it ain't even that

They acting like they came into this game expecting Siakam to hit 11 shots in a row and have 32pts :beli: The man shot 82%
Like they was like "breh Siakam finna EAT. I can't wait":mjlit:

am I not suppose to be surprised by this? This hasn't happened in a NBA Finals in over 20yrs.

Anyone saying they expected 30+ point out of Siakim is lying their ass off. You can say you expected him to play well but this well as if he's got the finals mvp on lock It's like :comeon:

Weird feeling out game for both teams. No way Siakam and Gasol are combining for 52 points again. It was weird seeing Danny Green hitting shots. :pachaha:

The Warriors do have real problems after Curry and Klay. Some of us have been saying this for a while but they just got hot against Portland. If Green and Iggy aren't hitting shots, their starting lineup is terrible offensively. Toronto can load up HEAVY on Curry and Klay. The refs let Gasol get away with a lot of contact on their traps too.
