    Lmao. Triggered. This dude was saying a few months ago that once the celtics dominate the playoffs, Kyrie will want to re-sign.
    No they aren’t

    Portland probably lost the series last night, could’ve got interesting if it was 1-1 going back to Portland..guessing they would’ve got to a game 5 tied 2-2.

    But now I think the blazers likely pull out a win in game 3, then lose games 4 and 5. A sweep wouldn’t really surprise me either though, I don’t think the warriors really played that well last night plus the blazers role players have been better than expected so far, that could change.

    Wait Portland lost last night then? I watched the first half then fell asleep and Portland was dominating them. Figured it was 1-1. Yeah they’re f----- now. Another year the warriors win in it all. I think one of the 2 east teams will at least put up a fight.

    Next year, the lakers or Knicks need to stack a team together to beat the warriors. Harden isn’t a good enough playoff player to ever beat Curry and the warriors. If the Knicks land Durant and Davis, they could be dangerous. Plus if Zion somehow goes to them. Rather see the lakers get Davis than Kyrie, but idk if it’ll happen.

    Really doubt Kyrie stays, AD would have to be traded he can't leave in free agency till next summer..But yeah the pelicans are pretty stupid but doubt even they're stupid enough to not trade him once July 1st passes and he turns down that max deal. Lose him for nothing in a year or get good pieces/picks in return? Doesn't sound like a tough choice tbh but maybe they think pairing him with Zion will change his mind, doubt it though.

    I'm guessing KD leaves too, not sure bout Butler. Klay probably re-signs with the Warriors but I hope not.

    I don’t think the Celtics even really want Kyrie on their team after the end of the this year. I don’t think the warriors need Durant and are winning without him, so he will definitely be gone. Davis seems to want to leave. But I wonder if getting Zion first pick would help Davis stay. If he ends up being the real deal, those 2 could be dangerous together.

    really good hard fought game between bucks and raptors in game 3. but kawhi was the difference in this one. not only did he make big offensive plays, but defensive ones as well. awesome game!

    ha Kon not sure what you mean by that

    the offensive rebounds the warriors kept getting killed the Blazers, particularly late in the game. to me, that was the difference in game 4

    If the raptors somehow beat the bucks, the warriors will easily sweep the raptors. Bucks need to win next game. They have some matchups that could at least slow the warriors offensive game down some. Still don’t think they would beat the warriors, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they won 2-3 games.

    cool to see raptors make their first finals appearance. they're probably the underdog seeing as they're going up against a team who has won multiple titles in the last few years. but with KD being banged up, they just might have a chance.

    any predictions?

    as many weapons as the warriors have, the injuries are really starting to pile up. klay is listed as questionable for game 3 (i doubt he'll play) and durant isn't playing again.

    on one hand, it would be cool to see the raptors win the finals because they've never won a championship. on the other hand, it would be cool to see the warriors 3 peat because its a rare feat

    Raptors better win this game or I’m going to be pissed. You have to come through with a few of the warriors out. If the raptors could somehow win the championship, this would be one of the biggest upsets of all time. I honestly think they can make it happen. Leonard needs to play elite for a few games and not choke or act hurt. He hasn’t been playing to his potential in the championship so far.
