The Official 2019 NBA Finals Thread

That is very true. He tried something. It didn't work. He will move on to something else. It's a long series and they are playing a very good team.

 

I thought there were a couple of factors. It's not a great defensive scheme in the NBA because of the talent, but GS isn't used to seeing it, so it seemed to catch them off guard. Also with Klay and KD out, they're really hoping to get stuff at the rim, and for Curry to hit shots. That defensive scheme isn't that "bad" when they don't have scorers out there. Also I thought GS was trying to kill clock and just get out of there with a W. They had shots and weren't taking them, and some of those same guys had those same shots earlier and were taking them.

 

I have no intentions of defending Terry when it comes to defensive adjustments. But I do think the fact Toronto played at home in their last game vs the Bucks and then had 4 nights off before playing again at home to play the Warriors and then another two nights off before playing the Warriors again at home in game two.......gave the Raptors a little more practice time then the Blazer had who played in Denver in game 5 and had 1 night off before game 1 in Oakland.

 

All true.

 

Looney out for the rest of the playoffs with fractured ribs. Thompson questionable for tomorrow. Durant better speed up his healing.

 

Oh, the irony.

 

I honestly believe Dame initially hurt his ribs in the OKC series. there was a play I believe in game 3 where he came up clutching his chest. Im sure Looney diving on him (Still not sure how thats not a foul...) sure didn't help though.

 

Klay is questionable, Looney is out now.

I kinda feel bad for cursing GS with all this injury stuff. Blame @Dubsfan

 

I love that Klay hurt himself flopping. Karma at its best! Well, Harden and CP hurting each other on the same flop would be its best best...

 

FUCK. YES.

I never laugh about injuries. I'm gonna giggle my muthafuckin ASS off about this though!!

 

That's what the FUCK you get Klay!!!

Curry does the same shit! I hope he gets injured flopping too. #yesisaidit

 

I would think that every ref everywhere got a chuckle over the karma in this.

 

Cant cheer for injuries, cant find it in me, but it did make me smile a bit that he injured himself flopping trying to get a call.

 

It was a stupid injury. Who shoots like that?
I have a nephew that watches these guys and tries this crap all the time. Sick and tired of telling him to shoot correctly and the rest will take care of itself.
He is so into falling over after shooting a three he forgets about clean solid shooting form.

 

I'd hate to see that. The double teams in a box and 1 come from near everywhere. Terry Stotts would not be able to adjust.

 

Let him know, if I referee him and he does some floppy crap like that, I'll leave him on the floor and chuckle on the way back to my spot.

 

Look bro, If you flop, you're a liar, a whiner, and you deserve the consequences from being a dishonest complainer.

Who the Hell lies and then whines to the dude he's lying to that they fucked up?? Really MF??? I JUST watched you flop!

I hate and don't wish injuries. I hate flopping even more.

Lying + whining + acting = Flopping.

 

I covered Canada for 25 years and never heard any Canadian call themselves Americans.

 

I understand all that, just dont like guys getting injured.

A lot of the time flopping cause more harm on your body than good though, so if you’re going to practice flopping and putting your self in positions to get hurt, then expect to get hurt... I definitely dont feel sorry for him.

 

I was in Alberta, Edmonton, and Lloydminster and it definitely happened somewhat frequently.
