Fuck man. Both Klay and Durant. Warriors in the true sense. Awful to see this happen to both of them.

Was distracted by the little one so perhaps it’s unrelated but is there any thought that coming back out might have contributed to that or increased the likelihood?

fenikz · 06-14-2019, 06:21 AM

Nah not really idk why there was some hesitation to foul though

TACKS · 06-14-2019, 06:43 AM

I think bc they were in the bonus.

shoutout to Masai.

if the Nets used the strategy of "opposing team having two hall of famers hurt during the series" they would've won two rings back to back smh

Hate to see Klay and KD go down, really throws a wrench into the offseason (which is the best part of the NBA anyway). I'm fascinated about what GS is going to do, I'm sure Klay resigns but then they have a max slot who is going to be out most of next season. They're going to be like a six seed.

The media acting like Toronto pulled off some crazy feat by beating that Warriors team reminds me why I don't watch news.

Prock · 06-14-2019, 01:17 PM

They did.

Kyle · 06-14-2019, 01:18 PM

I mean, they won the championship. It's not their fault that the Warriors depth is so bad they had to pull Andrew Bogut off the street. That's the downside of building a team like they did and they've been super fortunate with injuries throughout this run overall.

nepg · 06-14-2019, 01:20 PM

Congrats, but let's not act like they beat a team that wasn't shredded by freak injuries at incredibly convenient moments.

Prock · 06-14-2019, 01:23 PM

Spending the morning after an amazing title run minimizing their accomplishments is pretty annoying.

That's ridiculous logic. Media is acting like Toronto finally figured out the Warriors. They got comparatively lucky with health and did their job. It's not a fucking miracle.

Dan · 06-14-2019, 01:30 PM

No, Prock. He’s merely telling you that you cannot forget. Please adhere to his request and remember.

Toronto should pull a Canada and issue a public apology for beating its assigned opponent.

It's insane how so much of the off-season revolves around what happens to them.

Granted it's mainly KD, but still

Prock · 06-14-2019, 01:32 PM

Two incredibly ballsy trades, surviving a brutal eastern conference, beating a dynasty in the finals. That's a miracle run. Would you rather the main story line be "Toronto got lucky the Warriors got hurt"?

KD to the Knicks and they tank for one more year? Not a terrible idea for anyone involved.
