I don’t blame you as I’ve been in that position. Drake reminds me of a crazy fan we used to call Red from my college days. GW used to play at Ft Myers back in the early 70s and the fans were very close to the action. Red would be inches from the ref’s or players’ ears, screaming at them. To their credit, they never acknowledged him. You could never get away with that today. An element of truth in what you say. Maybe if it gets to 6 games, I'll change my mind & watch. One of my best friends loves the Warriors. Quote

Spike Lee made the Knicks unwatchable for me. At least Jack Nicholson is chill about things, of course, there's not too much there to get excited about now. Quote

Unfortunately, they lost to the Dodgers in 7, a loss that still rankles. I wanted no part of the World Series. Quote

I didn't think they would pull it off, and it's quite impressive that they did reel off 4 straight wins against the Bucks. I don't think their chances against the Warriors are great, but they did beat them in the regular series (or the warm up games as Kawhi calls them) and they do have home court advantage, so I suppose it's possible... The Rockets beat the Warriors in the regular-season series as well, for all the good it did them in the playoffs. Much as I'd like to see someone else win it all, it seems that the Warriors are this decade's version of Jordan's Bulls in the 1990s. Quote
EKE BBB Posted May 27, 2019 Report Posted May 27, 2019 I only hope they will not become the Celtics in the 60s! Quote

I agree it is quite unlikely the Raptors can pull it off, but they do play very good defense, and we'll just have to see how it goes. Quote
EKE BBB Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 First game for the Raptors. Mighty Marc Gasol, colossal Siakam, good Kawhi... while Curry reaches his 100th triple in the Finals, first player ever. Cousin was not a factor in this game. Let’s see when/if Durantula returns. Quote

Patrick Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 One of several beautiful things during LeBron's run in Cleveland was his (and by extension the Cavs') complete ownership of the Raptors at playoff time. This included renaming the Canadian town "LeBronto". One nice feature of this was LeBron just completing snuffing out Drake -- Drake just didn't matter. As annoying as Drake may be, I'm not sure who I'd root for in Drake v. Draymond. I'm pretty sure it would be Drake. Quote
Brad Posted June 6, 2019 Report Posted June 6, 2019 Disappointing loss but not unexpected when you’re down two key players. Quote
Brad Posted June 8, 2019 Report Posted June 8, 2019 GS look to be toast. If they lose, wonder whether Durant will stay. There is talk that he might be headed to the Nets, rather than the Knicks. Quote
Brad Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Awesome win for the Warriors tonight. Raptors may still prevail but it’s going to be a battle the rest of the way. Quote
EKE BBB Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Raptors couldn't have played worse for the last two minutes... Seventh game is key: if Raptors do not manage to close the deal and win the championship in Oakland, Warriors might steal the show in the last game. Quote

When the champs are down and the corpse shaking, you have to put the dagger through. They didn't do that. The Raptors and the fans were so close they could taste it but they couldn't bring it home. Maybe the enormity of the moment got to them. I can't see that happening again. Quote
jlhoots Posted June 11, 2019 Report Posted June 11, 2019 Still not watching - BUT I did see a clip of Toronto fans cheering when Durant was injured. WTF!! I might watch Game 6. Quote
Brad Posted June 14, 2019 Report Posted June 14, 2019 They wouldn’t have won had they been playing a healthy team. However, injuries are part of the game; the Warriors just had one too many. They could afford injuries to one key player, not two. Quote
Patrick Posted June 14, 2019 Report Posted June 14, 2019 Tough for GSW w all the injuries, but no asterisks in the long run. Unless we also put one on 2015. Before the finals started, I feared a lot of blowouts one way or the other. Fortunately, several interesting games. Curious who will pay max dollars to have Kevin or Klay sit for a year, and if there is any chance KD remains a Warrior. Quote

No asterisks maybe but did the best team win? Don't believe they did. In the future people will say Raptors were the champs but.... That but will always be there. Quote
Patrick Posted June 26, 2019 Report Posted June 26, 2019 Congrats to the big fella. Hopefully a nice long run in Milwaukee. Quote
