With KD, Max is 5 games tho. KD changes everything. Although, I want the raptors to win, nothing spectacular about what they are doing at all.

If KD started the series I struggle to see the Raptors winning more than 2 games. That whole Kawhi is the best two-way player flies out the window with KD on the court. With him out now Kawhi can eat on both ends of the floor

Without KD the Warriors are done. With him they at least have a puncher's chance

KarnThornheart:
Just to piss off a currysexual

Someone from Akron voted Iguodala. Tearssssss inna mi eyes

Manutd19:
Can Warriors win 3 of 3 even with KD against this Raptors?

With a healthy KD I think they can take it to 7 at least. It's not that these Raptors are spectacular. Steph just played like a bum tonight till it was too late

Steph will never live down tonight's performance if the Raptors go on to win this

Steph just being lazy with these fouls now
Kawhi I understand but If Ibaka is cooking it's probably not your night

Roland17:
I can agree with that but let me remind you that the Warriors got away with a lot of home cooking calls in game 3. Make we talk truth.
Today, Curry is being reffed poorly it must be said but the others have not stepped up either. The Raptors are basically running game 2 last minute defense on Curry.

I agree. I was very specific about this game. It's rare for the home team to get so many calls against it. The treatment Steph got today is a throwback to the era of the GOAT and would have been par for the course. My only issue is if it were the regular season they would blow these fouls so why are they swallowing whistle now

Ewuro4:
KD left a huge vacuum in that team men. I was blind now I see lolzz

You don't mean it. You were part of the Warriors don't need KD bandwagon??

This game is slipping away from the Warriors at this point

Draymond getting torched man

Roland17:
What exactly are they (Iggy and Dray) complaining about? Those are blatant fouls!!

Not this one but over the course of the game. The frustration boiled over

Eruditor:
Just keep playing.

The calls have been crazy.

I was going to say your complaints are very legit based on today. Steph is being butchered out there it has to be said

Steph needs to step up big time. This is season on the line.

Nice concept. I'd send a PM

CuteRedd:
Guys look at how low that ice pack is? Looks like an Achilles injury to me.

There is talk of him being rushed to be ready for Game 4 (still think it's a ruse to keep Toronto guessing) but if it's legit I hope this doesn't end in tears. It's a good sign too that he is moving on his own but that injury didn't look like a calf strain ab initio.

From what I read up, his recovery period would suggest it was a grade 2 strain (assuming it was a calf strain true true) but the ice pack location odikwa suspicious

This would be one of the weirdest Finals MVP votes yet.

Steph keeping the Warriors in this

Roland17:
Naaa. Take a 2nd look.

Just did y'all were right

KarnThornheart:
My initial thought was goal tend. Seems iblocker still has the street cred.

Clean block

CuteRedd:
Everyone must earn their pay tonite

Forget this game. The prayer should be for Klay to be healthy by Friday and KD by Monday

Elnino4ladies:
CAF to replay Champions League final between Esperence of Tunis and Wydad Casablanca LMFAO WTF!!!!

The right thing to do. That ojoro too much

KarnThornheart:
I hate them all. Stephen A is a knucklehead, he thinks screaming helps him get his point across or makes him automatically right. Lets not forget his sycophantic tendencies when trying to impress a crowd. Even Shannon is starting to get on my nerves. So i simply stopped watching them all together.

Lmaooo it's not fun if they are not loud and obnoxious. Its deliberate for the most part. Stephen A is an entertainer not just an analyst at this point

Ibime:
Based on what?

You too believe Jigga forming

That's how when he owned less than 1% of Nets, he was forming like he was the main owner.

I know Jigga for forming since he began his career. When he was worth $10m, he formed like he was worth $100m. The so-called multi-millions in Rocafella, we saw how much it was worth to Dame and Kareem.

We even found out he is not the majority owner in Tidal and yet he finessed Forbes to ascribe all sorts of valuation to him. Which is paper valuation BTW, as Tidal value will plummet if put to open market.

Now he is forming again. I will be surprised if Jigga surpassed $600m and that's being generous.

Lool no one ever thought he owned the Nets unless a casual that would not know the difference between minority and majority owner. He was marketed as the face when they were relocating to Brooklyn. He was merely a minority owner

Dame didn't make smart money moves like Jay and neither is he an artist. Bear in mind that the valuation of these people are fluid and mostly in equity. Bad investments and riotous lifestyle here and there and $10m turns to $1m really quick. But mere looking at Jay Z compared to his contemporaries you will know he's a proper Akagum with white man mentality

Jay Z owns Tidal. He sold a significant stake to Sprint. He's already doubled his initial investment on Tidal with that deal. Their service is too phuckin expensive and I'm sure Jay was smart enough to know it would not fly in the open market

Lmaooo. I don't even like debating and pocket watching like a kangaroo but do you know how much they gross via their On the Run Tour alone? Bear in mind they added it was a conservative estimate. So for all you know it could be more

Ibime:
After tax, the thing came down to less than a billion.

That one is fairly accurate unlike JayZ where they just added all the companies he owns stake and didn't factor tax.

Jigga would be $900m+ at least. Maybe they inflated values by $50m or thereabouts to push him over the line but kini yato $950m ati $1bn

Ibime:
Ronaldos rape accuser has dropped her case again. Who say money no good?

These people will not put their blockus one place. E get money wey you go get you should only be knackin girls of a certain level that have a reputation to protect

Lol Max is a sensationalist. Y'all should be laughing off his takes by now

I just enjoy how Stephen A always wipes the floor with him personally

KarnThornheart:
They must take no chances. For the rapture is inevitable and its up to the strongest vultures to feed on the carcass of the league afterwards.

Why does Tower of Babel keep coming to my mind with these Lakers

chic2pimp:
Jigga Hip Hop's first ever billionaire.....Not even shocked tbh. Now Had it been anyone but HOV, I would have been shocked. As He once rapped, "I am not a Businessman, I am a Business....MAN!".

A40 Bron Bron would be one in about Decade too.

Impressive what he did with the Ace of Spades and the way he packaged and branded a champagne which truth be told is of average quality in the league of champagnes, to put it mildly.

It should be studied in business schools

Lol the Warriors need to fess up. KD out for the series

Are the Lakers trying to build a starting V of coaches? Frank Vogel and LeNomad must be really scratching heads

I would give Steve Kerr credit for reaching deep into his bench last night. I don't recall any coach going 10 deep in an NBA Final especially considering that much maligned bench but in games like these a 6 points from Bogut here a 10 points from Cook there can make all the difference.

It says a lot about the players too that they come in ready to chip in and the fact that Kerr himself made his living from the bench makes him able to relate

Looking forward to Game 3. This series is still on a knife edge

Ibime:
Money cures all disagreement abeg.
Who would have thought that Arab money would bring vōyeur and accuser together

Hehehehe

CuteRedd:
you can’t buy something worth $10m. Why say no to more money? More money is always “more”

I could pay in installments for that thing you have that's supposedly worth $10m. Secondly $7m beats $0 which is what he wound up getting for not fighting AJ never mind the belts

CuteRedd:
$3m

Hehehehe. If you were worth $10m and I $7m there is nothing you can buy that I cannot buy
