I mean, hats off to the Raptors. But I still think this series is over.

If Durant doesn't return it is.

Doesn't winning a championship for a city give the player license to walk? e.g., Lebron's 2016 title. Raptor's GM Masai Ujiri points to Siakam as the future after Kawhi walks. But then if Kawhi walks do they also lose Gasol (player option for next season) and Danny Green (UFA this Summer). Raptors aren't in the Finals without Gasol/Green's D.

Too late to change that opinion. We've got a bet.

I'd expect KD to give it a go game 2, just not confident he's going to be make much of a difference @ 70%

_________________

Dude you were embarrassed last night and mind you you offerred the bet because you believed that they would win without Durant. As soon as they got popped you started making excuses about him not playing.

If he doesn't play they don't stand a chance. If he does play The Raptors can still beat them. He had better get back soon.

_________________

I doubt if he plays before game 4.

_________________

I'm not embarrassed at all. I'm just reminding you that we're set on the bet. Whether KD plays or not, you lose if GS wins. And I lose even if Curry, KD, and Klay are kidnapped and never play another game this series.

After game one of the Bucks Raptors how many had the Raptors coming back and winning the East by the way how many had the Raptors winning the East

Nothing in what you stated addresses my point to COF. That is the point. I never placed stipulations on the bet so why bother mention it? I took the bet whether he plays or not. My point is that they have no chance if he doesn't play.

You're the guy throwing provisos in. Not me. You thought they were going to win without him. Did the even and actually requested the bet. Its obvious you think they can win without him and any suggestion otherwise requires

Ok. Last night the joke was on you. It will continue to be if Durant doesn't play

Let's be real, same injury to Jordan, Kobe, both are playing right? We can all agree? Durant is cementing his legacy one of the biggest burritos to ever play the game.

They will lose tomorrow too. They already debunked the silly notion that the East was garbage. Told you that all season.

_________________

Winning one game at home debunks the East is garbage? Only 4 FOUR Teams in the East had winning records against the West!

All I heard on here was that Toronto had no shot. Obviously they do.
4 out of the 5 best teams in the league were in the East. I'm not going back and forth. You can think whatever you want to think. You have G.S. winning the series. Lets see how it plays out.

_________________

He is trying to get paid as a free agent and he also probably is upset that people are back to kissing Steph Curry's ass again. Anyone that has watched the Warriors over the past couple of years knows that it has been Durant that has saved them.

I give him gruff for bouncing on OKC but the fact is they have to take some of the blame as well. Those gutless saps courted the guy for months despite the fact they were well on their breaking the single season mark for wins. What type of competitors are they?

Now they win a few games and all of a sudden people are back to denigrating Durant again. That guy has been the biggest difference as to whether win or not over the past 2 playoff runs.

_________________

I do think they'll beat Toronto without KD. I never made excuses for last night's loss.

This is a stupid thing to laugh at.

That was stupid too. Veganfan has a lot of terrible basketball thoughts.

Let me remind you this thread was started by me saying Kawhi’s got this.

Most people probably think you're trolling so you will get a pass.

I don't recall you saying the Raptors are going to win. In fact I'm certain it is the rather ambiguous I think G.S wins but I'm really rooting for Toronto move.

_________________

Going into the playoffs I thought GS was gonna easily win. I didn’t know Kawhi’s commitment level. I think that’s fair given his actions in the past 18 months. Since the Philly series I knew he was bought in at least for this year. Since 2015 I’ve never wavered from my position that a committed Kawhi is the best player in basketball. I just thought we lost that version after his bullshit with SA last year.

I was trying to give your dumbass the floor. Unfortunately you can't ever seem to dance without a damn dance partner.

I guess it was just a little too bad for you that people quickly tired of your master of the obvious observations.

"Boston has a better plan" if they win

"Brad Stephens is an idiot" "Kyrie is a bitch" if they lose.

You aren't around enlightening the world with your senile induced thoughts Walt. All you are doing is simply regurgitating what someone else (namely me) says or commenting after the fact about an event so that you can look like a genius.

I ducked a lot of this stuff because I knew your dumbass wouldn't have a thought on much of anything unless it pertained to something that I'd already said and sadly I was proven right.

_________________

Looking like KD is a no show for game two, he may not play this series. I'm surprised his injury is this bad..I thought 2 weeks was enough to heal up.

_________________

I think he doesn't want to screw around with his Free Agent money.

If he doesn't play they are smoked Turkey 312. I never thought he'd suit up.

I always thought the injury was more severe than the Warriors were leading everyone to believe.

I haven't seen any comments from him about it yet. It's been only team brass that has commented.

_________________

I don't blame him, he's due what? 275 million?

_________________

If he signs with the Warriors it might be around that number. With another team a lot less I believe.

Probably will be his last big contract too. Got to protect himself.

Guys around the league are probably looking at the money that guys like Boogie have lost due to injury and were like it ain't going to be me.
