Gotta agree with you here. They sure do drag out the finals.

Rooting like mad for Golden State to win tomorrow and extend this series another game. I’ll be in Toronto on Thursday, and even though that game will be at Golden State, how cool would it be to be in Toronto when that team wins an NBA title? Can you imagine how polite and orderly all the rioting and looting will be?
Not so fast sweetheart


Vancouver Canucks fans had a massive riot like 8 years ago. 10 windows were broken

It's pretty cool to be in a city when they win a championship.  I was in San Francisco when the Giants won in 2010 or whatever year it was.  I dont even give a shit about baseball, but there was lots of energy and happiness.  People have me shit just for being a Texan.

There's a 0% chance you said this in 2015.

People have been giving asterisk to titles forever, people on this board give both Rockets titles an asterisk so my original post was said more as a joke than anything. 

 

I did say in 2015 the finals would have been different had the Cavs not been injured the same way I believe Toronto wouldn't be up 3-1 right now had half the roster not been injured. At the end of the day I couldn't care less and love watching another team hoist up the trophy. 

Wonder what the plan is for him.  Other reports have him still pretty injured but he's going to try and play through it.  Can they get 25 minutes out of him?  Maybe 15-16 points, a few rebounds and assists and just his presence keeping the Raptors honest enough???  On the road.  How will he shoot being so rusty?  Doubt he penetrates very much or does a ton of ISO work except maybe on the block and doing his one legged fadeaway Dirk impression.  Obviously getting a historically great player back is always good, but I wonder how much this is Willis Reed vs actually being able to dominate like usual.

After not playing or doing much else for 30+ days, I can't imagine just coming in and playing particularly well.

Yeah, the warriors would be better off with that white guy with the high fade jacking threes for sure

Never said anything like that.    It will be interesting to see how effective he can be.  I'm just being realistic.   We talk about teams being rusty after sitting for a week.    A player sitting for a month??   I cant imagine him not being significantly rusty.     I'm definitely NOT one of those "The Warriors are better without KD" guys though so if he is saying he can play you have to let him play.

There is 00.01% chance Durant isn't an immediate improvement over what they've rolled out the past 2 games. He will give them 20 points - remains to be seen how efficient they are or if he can give them more like 30. 

I don't understand the "oh but he's going to be rusty" takes. It's still KD. He was posting 35/5/5 a night on 50/40/90 shooting a month ago. He ain't gonna be that rusty.

Historically, Durant has played well coming back from injuries.

Anyway, we'll find out soon.

It’s not rust so much as coming back from a pretty severely injured calf, and I doubt he’s anywhere near 100% right now, otherwise he would’ve already been playing. So I’m not sure why you think he’ll come in first game and be back to normal.

I bet he’ll hit open shots, which will be a huge improvement for GSW on offense alone, but who knows what he’ll be like on defense and I doubt he’ll be the creator/playmaker he’s been for the Warriors throughout the playoffs.

 

If KD somehow brought them back to win this championship, that would really help his legacy. While he's been unbelievable in his two championship runs with GS, he's still thought of as the guy that joined the 73 win team. 

A comeback here would really, really help. He could probably even stop trolling twitter if he pulls it off. 

Something tells me KD has been  privately hoping/ waiting until they were in this position so dumb ass fans and media members realized how much they need him.. Warriors come back and win this and he will get all the praise and ride off to NY

Winning improves all of their legacies but mostly Durant's. Maybe Steph because he probably gets a FMVP out of it. Losing hurts all of their legacies but hurts KD's the least. 

I mean basically, if they win it will be because he was able to return from injury. If they lose, it will be because he wasn't healthy enough to play in 3 of their losses.

If GS wins the title, KD is the Finals MVP.

It's going to be interesting if they do win... on one hand he will only have played in 3 games, on the other hand he will have played in 3 out of their 4 wins. I think KD will have to have some monster performances. 

Moot point if they lose tonight. We'll see what happens. 

KD is gonna crane kick the shit out of the raptors tonight.

Sometimes I wish a well thrown brick would hit Jalen Rose right between the fucking eyes.

Toronto and mute boy bout to get stomped 

Line opened like -3.5 I think and has moved to a pick em.

Edit: actually seeing GS -1 now

Who is the guy on left of Beadle?  Billups is looking at him like he is full of shit.

Michele just said Kawhi stopped 3 dynasties after leaving the Spurs. 

I love you Michele. You can have me. 

Gee, 3 guys can't guard Curry with no consequence anymore. That seems beneficial.

Toronto really needs to close this out tonight.  I think they do but no way do they win game 6 at Golden State assuming Durant doesn't get reinjured.

I really don't like Golden State but I would love for KD to shut these idiots up one time.

Durant came to rehab calf and kick ass and he's all out of calf to rehab. 

Is Draymond under contract for much longer? Because he sucks ass

maybe the dumbest foul ever

And, somehow, he still complains about it.

that was the laziest dumbass foul I think I ever saw.

Lulz... Lowry puts his shoulder into KD and cries that he didn't do anything...

can teams please hire Van Gundy and Jackson so they aren't on tv anymore?

Toronto is such a good passing team. Bunch of smart dudes.

This actually feels like an NBA Finals game finally.

Damn Ibaka goes BJ Foster and takes out KD's legs.  They are gonna hit KD a lot tonight...
