Calling 30 personal fouls on each team with the bucks shooting 33 FTs to Toronto's 26 doesn't seem too bad. |

This game went into 2OTs good thing I have NBA TV so I can tape Inside the NBA on there(its really more interesting to me than the playoffs in general)
That being said I don't know why people are surprised the Raptors won tonight. I mean I don't know if they'll win this series but this version of the Raptors have way too much pride to get swept. |

It was widely reported that the Spurs wanted three young players and three first round draft picks. They wanted nothing to do with Ball so we would've been able to keep him. We offered almost the entire team for AD who is not even on Kawhi's level. What good are the picks anyways if the Lakers are contenders and Ingram, Hart, and Kuzma combined don't even equal the same impact as a single Kawhi. |

| Wow, Bledsoe was god awful, even worse than Middleton and Giannis who at least contributed in other ways. How in the world did he start the two OTs with Brogdon or Hill on the bench? The Raptors coach had to watch him suck for two minutes in each OT before figuring out he couldn’t be trusted to do anything? I guess maybe he was trying to save Brogdon’s legs or something, but he ended up playing him even more with the 2nd OT. Just seemed like such a stupid decision with an obvious solution when both Hill and Brogdon were nails on both ends while Bledsoe decidedly has not been basically The Whole playoffs. |

It was widely reported the Spurs expected the Lakers to START at the offer you were talking about, which means they expected to be able to negotiate up from there. Basically, “we don’t want to trade you Kawhi so we are going to make impossible demands”. |

Durant took a shot at a Warriors fan that was praising his teammates for winning without him. The fan wasn’t even taking a shot at him and Durant was still offended.

KD knows the truth... Dub Nation don't need him to win... and Draymond wasn't lying in Nov '18 when they had that bust up on court. It's so sad... he could have been an all-time great top 5... but he screwed up his own legacy by joining them. He really needs to find his own team to find his place in the universe.

Amazing effort by Leonard. Played through another injury to his left leg and carried the team to the win. fun game to watch. Love frantic playoff bball.
Just to throw it out there. Any concerns with signing Leonard to a long term max contract?
Will have to wait until they disclose the nature and severity of the leg injury but concerning that it seemed to be non contact and to the same left leg he has been managing since last year. Isolated or the latest setback to an ongoing issue? |

Pop was going to trade Kawhi to any team EXCEPT the Lakers.

KD averaged 35.2/8.2/5.4 on 56/47/93 (69.8% TS) in the 2017 Finals, and averaged 28.8/10.8/7.5 on 53/41/96 (65.4% TS) in the 2018 Finals. KD has hit the dagger in both Finals, and hit the dagger over Lebron in the 2017 Finals. Back to Back Finals MVPs. KD has the top 3 highest true shooting percentages in NBA Finals History for 28 PPG plus. The highest TS% ever in a Finals when averaging at least that many points are: 1. Kevin Durant, 2017, 35.2 pts, .698 TS%, 2. Kevin Durant, 2018, 28.8 pts, .654 TS%, and 3. Kevin Durant, 2012, 30.6 ppg, .650 TS%. KD and Shaq are the only players in NBA Finals history to average more than 35 PPG on greater than 55 percent shooting in a single Finals series. Durant’s efficiency on offense has hit historic levels with the Warriors. Durant has also become an excellent defensive player. Since signing with the Warriors in 2016, Kevin Durant has held opponents to 38% shooting. No one has been better during that span among the 50 players that have had at least 1,500 field goals attempted against them (per Second Spectrum). Durant’s playmaking in the last 2 games of the 2018 Finals is why the Warriors swept the Cavs.

Signed up today (May 20th) just to respond to my post? Nice, a KD burner account... and welcome to LG!
All these numbers mean diddly doodah... Dub Nation is sweeping the WCF without KD... the Western Conference Finals... sweeping! That's all that counts, bring out the brooms! GSW swept the Cavs because they already had Steph + Klay + Draymond + Iggy and then added KD on top of that. They probably would have swept the Cavs even if they'd added LeBron instead... or DeRozan or Jimmy Butler... perhaps, even a Tobias Harris?
Not sure why you're only talking about MJ and LeBron btw. MJ is in a league of his own. Wilt/Kobe/Kareem are next after him. Then LeBron. Then a whole bunch of guys... then KD. KD's numbers are spectacular... that's why I say it's so sad... he could have been an all-time great with numbers like these... easily... right up there with the Wilt's and Kareem's and Kobe's... if he hadn't chosen to jump on the GSW wagon. He still has some years at the top... needs to leave GSW... perhaps, even join the Lakers? The Lakers brand and fan-base is the largest globally. Salvation in the eyes of b-ball fans world-wide and the whole sports world can be had...

well I mean.
The Lopez foul was a miss.
The charge call is debatable imo.
The Kawhi double was missed.
There was also:
The charge that Lowry took that wasn't called.
The Giannis euro step travel that wasn't called (was close though).
If you wanna say the refs missed calls on both sides, I'll take that. But I don't think they "hooked the bleep" out of the bucks. |

KD knows the truth... Dub Nation don't need him to win... and Draymond wasn't lying in Nov '18 when they had that bust up on court. It's so sad... he could have been an all-time great top 5... but he screwed up his own legacy by joining them. He really needs to find his own team to find his place in the universe.

KD averaged 35.2/8.2/5.4 on 56/47/93 (69.8% TS) in the 2017 Finals, and averaged 28.8/10.8/7.5 on 53/41/96 (65.4% TS) in the 2018 Finals. KD has hit the dagger in both Finals, and hit the dagger over Lebron in the 2017 Finals. Back to Back Finals MVPs. KD has the top 3 highest true shooting percentages in NBA Finals History for 28 PPG plus. The highest TS% ever in a Finals when averaging at least that many points are: 1. Kevin Durant, 2017, 35.2 pts, .698 TS%, 2. Kevin Durant, 2018, 28.8 pts, .654 TS%, and 3. Kevin Durant, 2012, 30.6 ppg, .650 TS%. KD and Shaq are the only players in NBA Finals history to average more than 35 PPG on greater than 55 percent shooting in a single Finals series. Durant’s efficiency on offense has hit historic levels with the Warriors. Durant has also become an excellent defensive player. Since signing with the Warriors in 2016, Kevin Durant has held opponents to 38% shooting. No one has been better during that span among the 50 players that have had at least 1,500 field goals attempted against them (per Second Spectrum). Durant’s playmaking in the last 2 games of the 2018 Finals is why the Warriors swept the Cavs.

You quoted so he couldn't delete it?
Warriors should waive Durant  |
