A40:
Unlike that Fulani nomadic herdsman now playing for the Lakers

A40:
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

Eruditor:
Warriors in 7!

Eruditor:
So too many turnovers and Curry is cold from 3.

The FT disparity though. Refs...wake up.

The key focus of the session is to understand how sport fans in Nigeria(like yourselves consume and interact with digital content in the context of professional sport (with extra focus on basketball). And I believe a lot of the contributors on this thread (esp. [/b]eruditor, steady 896, Karnthornheart, A40, khan ben[b])would be suitable participants of this session.

How am I supposed to undumb you? Did I make you dumb before?

CuteRedd:
This dude is ruled out for the series!

Eruditor:
Past it but then qualified to how many playoffs after he left?

For whatever he lost in offense with Kyrie and Love he gained with defence with Tim and Della.

Cavs were losing game 1 with Kyrie. Then won games 2 and 3 without him. This narrative about how weak those players are is rubbish. Kerr had to adjust to play around the defense Cavs were throwing [/b]with those players which is why Iggy became a starter in case you have forgotten. Iggy played games 4-6 as a starter and won FMVP. Only player in NBA history to start only 3 games and win that trophy.

2017 season when Cavs were down 2-0 courtesy blowouts? The one they compensated him by fouling every GSW starter in game 4 to extend the series? The same one Love and Kyrie played in? Ok.

The very same players who had big games for Blazers, Bucks, were the players Lebron had. There is no doubt GSW had better players but it was not because of any injuries. That was the same roster that beat Celtics and kept most of the GSW games close. I don't remember Bron averaging 45ppg which means other players were scoring and with the 2017 roster you lost 4-1 so what is the big deal if you lose 4-0 w/o Kyrie?

You people should stop making everything about Lebron abeg.

A40:
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

Eruditor:
I agree with 2007.

LOL @ the rest.

KD is supposed to be the best player. Klay the 3rd best. Looney the best rebounder.

So take away Lebron, Love, and Tristan and let Kyrie play alone. With JR Smith and co. That is a fair comparison.

KarnThornheart:
Are you mocking him or are you really turning into the reverse eruditor?

Eruditor:
I won't be too worried though. Except the ref ball is glaring again, we should take game 2. When the lead was down to 4 in the 7th min of the 4th Q, Draymond's layup should have been a goal tend but they called it a block. Then in quick succession they gave Curry 2 fouls, gave Klay 1, gave him a tech and put us in the bonus. Siakam then shuffled to pass the ball to the corner for D Green who hit that 3 and basically sealed the game.

LoJ:
Baba calm Down its only one game. Remember Milwaukee

Eruditor:
Guy forget Drake. This game was poorly reffed. I think the team pretty much accepted it after the Klay tech.

The only good thing is, unlike the Rockets, the Raptors players were not actively fishing for calls. Refs were just giving them at "key moments".

Roland17:
During the 1st quarter, the Warriors started out playing a high tempo offense but deep into the 2nd they just lost gas and could not maintain that high tempo especially in transition and to me, this has to do with the rust. This is a very experienced team and I expect Kerr to make some adjustments but they can not lose game 2 for any reason.

KarnThornheart:
Have you heard of the gentleman's sweep?

SmooshCHN:
Damn!!!!
