NBA: 2018 Season News and Discussion Thread

With DeRelatives, Klay, Green, and Curry...it's more than enough to take out the Raptors the next 2 games, IMO. That being said, the final shot should've gone to the Machine instead of Lowry tonight.

Statistic wise, GS has lost at home 3 times in a row to this team.
Toronto just beat this team at their home 2 times in a row in crucial games. They can do it again. I don't think they're gonna have another piss-poor night from the 3 again just as they didn't go another 6 minutes without scoring. There will be no Durant for sure now.
BTW, that really sucks for him. GM said the medical staff cleared him to play, that injury is going to fall on them b/c you can't trust a player to make that call. They held Klay back for one game, they should've held Durant back. The reports spent the last 4 games saying Durant couldn't participate in practice, 3 on 3s, etc. right up until this morning, and now tonight, he was feeling good. That man was still injured and they should've known better. He could potentially be out now for next season if it's really bad.

Why on earth did they clear Durant... I am surprised he even wanted to put his next year on the line. Lets hope it isn't too bad and can be back full force next year. There was a slow-mo video of when it happened and it looked like an elasctic band snapped. Just too bad for the guy. I am sure he didn't want to see his team fall but is it really worth it if you know you will be there next year most likely if he stays?
Piss poor play calling for the final shot. Double team the machine and all else fails... Worst final shot attempt I have seen in awhile!

Fudge... so close.
I have no idea what that last posession was. Down one point, and Kyle takes a 3 from DEEP in the corner (where he rarely is).
Was otherwise a pretty competitive fourth quarter trading shots. Exciting but stressful. I'm still confident we can close it out, just would have been awesome to do so right now at home.
Really sucks about KD. His presence really does change everything.

Well, not necessarily. They could still land him, but if they give him a max contract, yeah they're going to get mocked by the media relentlessly (even though a lot of teams will likely still do the same).
It's really sad that scenario actually happened.

IMO, the fans at the arena cheering at the sight of KD being helped off the court may have been what got GS to play harder just to proof a point. I mean, I would have been pissed to hear the fans applauding that my teammate being hurt

Everyone already talking about how GS lost this series and not how TOR won it (at least here in the Bay). Give credit when credit is due. Injuries are part of the game and it's happened each of the Warriors rings. Injuries are part of the game and each player goes through the grind of the season.
Am a kawhi fan so am happy to see him win. He's carried two teams to a championship so maybe some more credit will be given to him, but it's awesome to see him raise than trophy again.

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.

Congrats to Toronto. They had a tough road to win the Championship. They showed how good they were against the Bucks, but then again the Bucks played the worst they had all year. Then they took down GS, injured or not, they are a tough team! Most of all congrats to Kawhi for personally carrying the team like he did. He looked exhausted every game but in the end it was worth it!
One more thing, I still don't like Drake!

Congrats to the Raptors for finally winning Canadia a Championsip, however I think most of us will agree that if the GSW was healthy and not missing half their team to injuries they would have won
