yah until Klay GGed in Q3, who had the hottest hand at the moment.
I dont wanna play the What if game, it is what it is. Injury is all part of the game. But i would not go as far as say Tor won it all by themselves without the help of GS. if anything i personally think GS helped TOR more than TOR won it on their own.
To be honest, if KD and Klay didnt all go down, i personally dont think TOR even had a chance... But it is what it is.
What i really care about is if Kawhi is leaving TOR....

I agree if KD and Klay were in it I don't think Toronto had a chance. Not remotely as lopsided as last years finals but GS probably had the better team. Oh well it is what it is. Next season will be interesting.
#367
Ahh, the what ifs.. GS needs 5 healthy all stars to beat the lonely Raptors..
No one really knows what Kahwi is thinking but I'd be surprised if he left to be honest. With essentially the same squad coming back, it's hard to deny that they could make a run again next year considering the east is pretty wide open aside from Milwaukee. It'll be an interesting off season for sure.

Will be interesting to see what Warriors do. I don't think Klay is a free agent so they'll probably just wait for him to come back. Curry, Green is a nice nucleus. Use the cap space that KD leaves for some depth. They'll probably be good but not great, maybe Houston finally beats them.

They gave up their depth for KD.
#371
KD's also going to be around 32 when he returns coming off an achilles injury. That's not a great combo.

Who was hurt?
4 years ago Curry, Thompson, and Green were “unstoppable”. Pretty sure they played the first four games.
Wasn’t adding Cousins “unfair”? Was he hurt?
Warriors got beat. Good defense lowered their scoring.
Prove me wrong.

Then, in this series, the Warriors HAD DeSiblings around to add to Klay, Curry, and Green...so, it was FOUR all-stars. Who cares about depth when you have that scoring prowess? They got beat and Toronto's defense was impressive. Give credit to the Raptors, they didn't back down.
BUT. If KD was healthy, I suspect this series would've been a sweep for the Western Conference All-Stars. FIVE starting all-stars? Yeah, don't matter what Toronto does. It was a video game.
#374
Sweep is a bit far fetched considering the Raps beat a healthy GS squad (with KD) twice in teh regular season & were missing Kawhi for one of those games. Of course the regular season/playoffs are 2 different animals but the stats speak for themselves.
A big part of they're success is obviously that Kawhi is a machine & there's no denying that.

I don't think people really appreciate Kawhi and how much he added to his overall game. Compare where he's at now versus his rookie and even sophomore season, it's great to see how much he's grown and can shoulder a franchise.

I was along the parade route yesterday. The amount of people was stupendous. Not sure if there were any barricades beforehand, but by the time I arrived around 11:30 there was no defined path - the avenue was completely packed. Police officers had to carve a path through the crowd. Doubt that helped speed the parade any.
It was a mostly festive event. There are always going to be a few assholes with elbows in a crowd that size. Made some friends which helped with waiting 3 hours in the sun. Shoulda worn a hat. It was pretty special seeing our boys up close with the Larry O'Brien. Worth it.
Caught the speeches indoors at a computer. Some of the overhead views showed a few dozen people running near the back of the square. I just thought they had broken down a fence or something. Fortunately none of the injuries are life-threatening. Hope the victims recover quickly.

Fuckin scrotes will all probably get probation too, because the Canadian court system is
a joke. Back in March 13 2019, a Toronto jury had acquitted Kamal Hassan of the 2015 murders
of 2 men in a condo unit. Kamal was found not guilty of double murder. I'm sure Kamal is
a lovely young man.
