So someone told me the Top level at the NBA been pissed at Drake being all extra and requested him to be restricted, but event staff are like :hubie: "Not trying to lose my job"


Lol screw them remember a few years ago I think mlse paid a fine in regards to drake


Upon hearing the report, Sid immediately defended the rapper, saying the fine is petty. On Monday, the NBAreportedly fined the Toronto Raptors $25,000 after Drake, their global ambassador, made an on-stage pitch to Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant last week at OVO Fest.

Eh yall beef is between yall, I got too much love for the Bay to chime in but...

You talking to that wrong city with that bolded, bruh

Average house in Toronto costs more than in San Francisco. Our Finals ticket prices more expensive too

:ufdup:

Yeah.. I wish.. Toronto is cheap as fukk compared to San Francisco :mjcry:

San Francisco average house price currently is double of Toronto's

Toronto average house price: $834k

Toronto bit on real estate: "The city recorded 2,574 sales in July at an average price of $824,336, while in the rest of the GTA, the 4,387 properties sold last month fetched an average price of$757,365. "

San Francisco average house price: $1.62 million

San Francisco bit on real estate: "San Francisco's median house price rose by $205,000 in the first half of 2018, as iterated in a mid-year report by real estate agency Paragon. The price swell is one of the city's biggest in its history, sending the average home price in the city to a whopping $1.62 million"

Although it is worth noting, I do believe Asian Thoughts lives with his parents so him bringing up rent/house costs is hilarious

And they won playing lock down elite team defense. Hope we can replicate that success :sadcam:

A lot of similarities between that Pistons team and this Raptor team.

Both faced a team from the state of California
B. Wallace/FVV -both went undrafted.
Billups/Lowry -traded multiple times early in their careers and then became 5 time all stars
R. Wallace/Gasol - both are big men acquired at the trade deadline.
Prince/OG -both were drafted with the 23rd overall pick 2 years before they played in the NBA finals.
Coaches Larry Brown/Nick Nurse - Larry Brown won his first NBA title in his first season as the Pistons head coach. Nick Nurse is in his first season as the Raptors head coach.

it's crazy how slept on the Raptors are. They beat a Sixers team loaded with talent in 7. Then they dismantled the best regular season team in the NBA that had only lost 1 game in the playoffs.

The warriors beat a clippers team with no stars. A checking rockets team with a washed cp3 and playing big minutes to Austin rivers, Iman shumpert and gerald green. Then a blazers team who two best players are under 6'3'' missing their third best player and with a competent wing.

and nikkas saying the warriors gone run though them.

Marc Gasol will be very ineffective this series unless Cousins gets burn. I hope Nurse realizes that early and pulls the plug quick.

alot of soft nikkas on the raptors about to get sonned by draymond and boogie ... klay is on fire and steph will be in full shimmy

its well wishing to think Raptors might win, and they could if they get lucky

but man, I cant see golden state losing this shyt at all ... minus the points curry scores I see draymond being a huge factor on the floor and disrupting all peace the raptors have
I dont see draymond playing this series to lose

I think there's alot of mental factors that went into eeking out those series that wont be there with GS. First off, 6ers had to abandon their primary floor general off GP. They didnt even think about running Simmons against Kawhi. That ideology made Simmons useless scoring wise and he dont do shyt off ball, so they coulda eased up in that respect. With Joel also being clearly fukked up and their two best bench players going through issues, Philly probably had less talent on offense than GS will

The Bucks...I just think it was coach against coach, roster against roster. Bud trusted the roster that got him here for too long and it burnt him. They both tried some version of the same strategy against each other's star, one guy made plays against the doubles the other didnt. I think if Coach Bud uses Ilyasova a little less in the back half of games and depended on Bled less, he would've been straight. Call Kerr whatever, but he's gonna ride the guys who are working out until it's done. However, hes also quick to pull bigs when it's clear they're a detriment.
