2019 NBA Finals: Golden State Warriors vs. Toronto Raptors

what's so insulting about it? both games have come down to a basket or 2 of that spread. unless for some odd reason toronto needs to be favored which would make no sense

A guy like looney doesnt impact a spread. klay will perhaps by .5 pt or so if ruled out early. KD has already been accounted for

 

Klay has played the majority of both games. His loss is huge. Looney is the Dubs best defensive big (the only one who can switch onto wings and guards with some success) and has been making major contributions.

 

Role players matter much less than stars. The big moves would come if curry or Kawhi got hurt

 

Um, KD and Klay are stars. Your comment only applies to Looney.

 

klay has an impact on the spread. looney does not. there's nothing surprising about a role player like him not being a factor in that. Looney has been a non factor in both games

 

Kl

The fact that the warriors are still 4.5 point favorites doesn't make you rethink that? Are you then putting money on the raptors?

 

Um, no, the line does not have me reconsidering whether Klay and KD are stars. Pretty certain they are.

Not putting money on the Raptors. Vegas is scarily accurate with this stuff in general - just looks like a crazy line to me given the injury situation.

 

Curry has proved that he is the better player with the Warriors system, but I don't think he will have the same impact on another team with different system, while Durant will be just as effective on any system, you don't need to tailor your style/system for him.

 

Curry's efficiency is so much higher because their system was designed around him. No one denies that Curry is the most impact player for the Warriors, but that doesn't mean he is a better player than Durant. I'm not sure if he will have the similar impact when plug with another team, but Durant can have the similar impact with almost every team.

Same thing goes with Harden vs. Curry comparison, switch those two with current teams, I don't think either of them will have the similar impact at all.

 

That's backwards. They designed the system around him because he's so efficient.

Durant needs his own system too. Iso because he's a bad passer

 

You always tailor your system to your superstar. Any team Curry was on would tailor a system to take advantage of his unique strengths, if they had a competent coach. It's not about "having to," it's about being smart enough to leverage their powers to the utmost.

 

Let's go Raptors. There are no pats on the back for this one.

 

really no excuse for the Raptors to lose this one

 

They will be fine without looney lol. Who exactly on the raps is exploiting that switch..Lowry choke ass lol..they have no one to punish gsw with....maybe van fleet. Klay tho is a big lose. Let's see if curry can do what everybody wants harden to do. If curry gets this game without klay n Durant I wont say anything else bad about him rt...n I will start talking **** bout harden then. Cause dray n this stages boogie is about equal to Clint n cp3. So let's see what he does with he gets janky defense put on him like harden always gets.

 

Why curry has a normal.team now like harden has.

Plus curry superstar, Kawhi superstar

Boogie, dray, iggy should equal shikam gasol choker Lowery right

Plus curry at home.

By harden's standards he should still win this game

 

Lmao.its not the system bro....curry just has better teammates. Yall giving Kerr to much credit. Let's see what the curry system.is with those allstar bail out player. Not a fan of playoffs curry thinks he comes up small alot n other guys like iggy protect his legacy lol

 

Boogies flops are ridiculous

 

Green so far doing his best impression of a Rockets roleplayer on the offensive side.

 

Dam Daniel.. siakam post game looks good.. I likes the kid. Get it done murry
