OFFICIAL: NBA FINALS THREAD

Golden State has big problems. They did a great job of holding Kawhi down but were quickly introduced to Pascal Siakam. But maybe the bigger problem is Marc Gasol. He hitting those 3's is nothing new in these playoffs as He came in shooting 40%. If Siakam and Gasol are gonna contribute numbers close to that.... Game over. Another problem is the lack of clean looks from beyond the line. Siakam looks like a clone of Kawhii defensively. Curry had a good game but Thompson was shit when the game was tight and can't dribble past Danny Green nor Siakam. He's not a choker but He's not clutch either.

Maybe the best thing to happen to the Dubs last night was Iggy tweaking his calf again. It will force the Dubs to go with a whole new gameplan. Essentially ensuring that a non scorer is not on the court for 35 minutes per game. In today's NBA Final where you have to score in the 'teens , you can't afford that.

A Durantless GS was just fine against a team like Portland that basically tries to out shoot you and defense be damned. But against a defense like Toronto, they need Durant. Look for a "shock the world" appearance in Game 2 on Sunday by him.

Sounded like everything went right for the Dinos and wrong for the Warriors

There’s only cause for concern for the Warriors if they don’t get the split

One who didn't see the game might think this. But it would be an inaccurate assessment.

Has anything been said about draymonds hamstring? He clearly pulled it late in the game.

Also, fuck drake for talking shit to him after the game, easy to do that on the court faggot, try it at the bar afterwards without security around

All I heard before the game was that the Warriors are better without KD because hey are 30-1 blah blah blah. They lose one game and now they are in trouble if KD can’t come back. I hate sports “analysists”.

I think pretty much everyone saying they’re better without KD was just doing it to shit on KD.

Well done by New balance. Confirmed I'm grabbing his shoes when they finally release.

Fuck I don't know what to think this series. So many story lines I want to see come to fruition but they are all at the cost of each other.

Warriors dynasty without KD
KD legacy dead
Steph Legacy
Kawaii Legacy, King of the North

So many ways this can go and how it affects the coming free agency.

It’s so stupid. There is no such thing as a team better off without Kevin Durant. He’s been a top 5 player almost his whole career.

haie

Warriors take control in an hour and a half.
