Soooo who had the Celtics getting embarrassed by the Bucks in the second round of the playoffs at the beginning of the season, go on don't be shy

Waoowww. 2 stellar game 7's for the books. I cant stand the Raptors but it worth it for Kawhi as he won this series for them. Embeid cryin like a batch lol, they left it out there tho.
Toronto/Milwaukee
Warriors/Blazers for the conference finals.

I'll take Warriors Bucks for the Finals.

that walk off was pretty amazing

[Scott Taylor]

Two great teams. Not sure we are going to see a better series than Sixers-Raptors this year

[Hiromi]

well that pretty much cements Anthony Davis getting traded asap

edit: Also Knicks fans in full meltdown will never not be entertaining

[Scott Taylor]

Quite a game last night. Toronto had it all the way, then disappeared in the 4th quarter while ... um .. Brook Lopez (!) has this huge, life game. Loved every minute of the game, it was a classic.

Congratulations to the Toronto Raptors, 2019 Eastern Conference Champions! Canada finally gets to host its first NBA Finals games! And even more Drake!

All that said: Raps vs Dubs = Warriors in 5

Kawhi was nothing short of spectacular. Agree they can't beat GS, but I do think they can get one or two games.

This off-season will be VERY interesting.

It stands to reason Golden State will be rusty after having been off for over a week. If Toronto stands even a puncher’s chance of being competitive in this series, they damn well better win game one. That said, Warriors in six.

Co- sign 100%, esp with the bolded.

The only way the Raptors have a good chance of winning is if they can steal Game 1.

They do that, then they might duplicate how my underdog Wallace/Billups Pistons beat the almighty Shaq/Kobe Lakers in 2004.

Kawhi in my book is one of the closest things to Kryptonite Golden State has, especially if Durant is gimpy, but I still give them very long odds

Kryptonite works on Superman, singular. There is at least 3 Supermen on GS if Durant is a go (Not sure if I consider Draymon Bizzaro or Steel btw). Kawhi is the truth but Tor is going to have to get at least 3 career games out of Lowry if they hope to keep the score within 20 and he ain't it like that. The Warriors are accustom to the Finals at this point, they are gonna shine, likely without much Durant.

Warriors in 5, meebee 6 but so much of that is out of respect to Kawhi. Playing 110% on both ends is gonna hard on that brotha more than the Eastern playoffs, he's gonna have to defend his ass off.

[Scott Taylor]

Green will probably guard Kawhi, so it should be interesting to say the least. Green has to maintain his cool. All the Dubs have to do is maintain their mid-court game and get threes. The rest will take care of itself if the Splash Brothers are getting their shots. Raptors will have to play out of their minds (not just Kawhi) to win. Its possible, and I am hoping for really good games.

Magic Johnson denies allegations in ESPN story that he mistreated Lakers employees

Oh, brother! What a mess! Man, if I were a top tier free agent like Kawhi Leonard, Jimmie Butler or Kyrie Irving, I'm avoiding the dumpster fire that's the Lakers like my life depended on it.

Rockets are officially blowing it up
