The Knicks owner is an absolute scumbag.

I got on GS ML when it was +140. I think Durant pulls a Willis Reed tonight and helps force game 7.

All these points are spot on, no doubt. But let's not leave out the main factor, which is one of the best basketball players on the planet being out the entire series. I highly doubt it's 3-1 Toronto if KD hadn't been hurt. Excuses, I know. I'm just saying, this is isn't ALL because of how...

The current version of Lebron is no longer the best player in the league. He gave up on putting constant effort into defense several years ago.

He was absolutely dominant last night! But yeah, nobody shoots 14 of 17 very often.

KD ruled out for game 2. Possible return for game 3. What's the word on Iguodala? I haven't heard, but it looked like he tweaked that same calf on the last play yesterday.

No, that wasn't my take at all. To me, GS just looked off. Missed LOTS of open shots, threw great passes to guys who weren't even looking, had 16 turnovers at least a dozen of them in the first half, even dribbled off their own feet at times. Seems like I'm Toronto bashing here which is not...

I'm hearing the possibility is game 3, not game 2. Agree if their other guys play like that they may not be beatable. Imagine if Kahwi had been his regular playoff self last night too! But I don't expect GS to play that poorly again either.

Well said, and I agree. But if you watched that entire game (which i'm sure you did) it was unquestionably one of those nights where everything was going Toronto's way and nothing was going GS's way. Not trying to take away from Toronto, they played a great game!, but I doubt you'll see GS...

I'll admit, I did not see that coming. Granted, I doubt Siakam will go 14 of 17 again this series. Man, was he hot last night! Dude was downright unstoppable. Though it was just the Raptors night. Perfectly summed up by that absurd 3 at the shot clock buzzer late that banked and rolled in...

I'm a Curry fan too. I have loved watching him since he was at Davidson. Best pure shooter I've ever seen in my life at any level. I love defense, man. That Ravens team that won the SB was one of my all time favorite squads to watch play (even though I'm not a Baltimore fan). And I'm...

Agree. I am a defense guy, always have been. Doesn't mean it's better, just what I personally prefer. In both basketball and football.

Fair enough, man. I respect your views. Though I still stand behind mine. I'll leave you with this clip though just for sh-ts and giggles: It was such a different game back then.

Well, yes, that is my entire point. Players like Curry wouldn't be able to do what they do against those old defensive rules. Not in the same manner anyhow. Your point about athletes being bigger, stronger and faster today is valid. I don't deny that at all. And if the NBA's defense rules...

Dumb logic?!? The '85 Bears (if they were allowed to play under '85 rules) WOULD shut down modern offenses in football.

🤣😂🤣😂 Not a single team in today's game has EVER faced a defense like the late 80s Pistons or early 90s Knicks. The modern rules don't allow it. Period. You brush off handchecking like it's irrelevant. That tells me you're probably young. The point of bringing that up is it is a palpable...

Nobody in the league could get 50 in 29 mins under those rules back then, bud. Not even Jordan. That was my entire point.

That's an overly-simplistic and weak take. It's not about old heads hating seeing new stuff trump the glory days. it's about people who experienced the game the way it was played back then getting frustrated when the young generation sees this non-stop ISO or huck 3's every time down the court...

Yeah, you're right, ball movement and jump shooting are very modern innovations.

LMAO smh
