Ghostriding Through The 6 For The Chip - Raps v Warriors Finals Thread

[<<TheStandard>>]

What people are missing when discussing Klay and KD's returns is that neither will be close to fully healthy and KD will be completely out of rhythm and out of shape. This is not much of an issue offensively, well for Klay at least as he can just spot up and be effective. KD won't be able to jump or explode or move with any sort of fluidity and that will really limit his offensive game. That said, offense is not even the issue here. GSW has put exactly 109 pts on the board in every game no matter who is or isn't out there. That should be enough to win. Problem is they are giving up 120 in their 2 losses. What they really need right now is defense and it is highly unlikely that two guys coming back off leg injuries, especially one with a pretty severe one that has been out a month, are going to help on that end.

Low-key losing Looney might have been just as big of a loss as losing Klay, given that they now have to play Cousins and Bogut huge minutes.

They legit can't even switch anymore on defense.

At this point I have no idea how GS wins this series.

Bro I made that same bet. Real talk, Vegas has a glaring weakness - its injuries. I know some super gamblers going to come in here and talk about 'they moved the line .5%, that was the mathematically most viable strategy' or some bullshyt.


fukk that.

They barely ever move the line if players are 'questionable' and sometimes they don't even move the line enough when players are 100% not playing. Gambling = the goat side hustle

Yup even before the game golden state was still favoured by 3 points I threw another 220 down. If my account did not have a restriction on a limit I would have thrown another 2 grand down.

Even tomorrow Golden state are favoured by 4 points

It’s free money again I don’t even care if a hobbled Klay or kd plays only reason I haven’t pounded it yet. Is I hope kd plays and Vegas again has the raps as 3/1

KD out of shape after 3 weeks?

I don't think Im throwing money down on game 4. Klay is guaranteed to play, and he's a spot up shooter. You really think the Warriors go down 3-1? If y'all were really that much better then the Warriors y'all woulda blown em out by 30

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

I told y’all coli fools CLAY was DONE but got laughed at

Y’all casuals don’t know what a hamstring does to you... y’all can’t play through that

It’s already official Klay is back for game 4

 

[Knicksgarbageforever]

That big goofball could barely move as it is. Ibaka or Gasol throw their body into his chest and that’s a wrap for him. He’s limited too

If you have Klay out there then at least you can go to some inferior version of the "Death/Hampton" lineup. Without him and KD you are forced to play big. Also having Klay out there makes the game easier for whoever the bigs are as there aren't as many breakdowns that they have to cover for.

Just let them go. This is their first time and their excitement is leading them to make some really (I mean seriously) outlandish statements. To hear them tell it, the Raps sound like the 2 time defending Champs, yet they are still the underdogs, but will win.

KD out of shape after 3 weeks?

Whatever exercise/physical activity you do regularly...don't do it for 4 weeks. Matter of fact, do minimal physical activity for 4 weeks. Then suddenly resume your normal activity, at the highest possible level, and then tell me how that works out for you.

Klay won’t be able to guard boban on the perimeter at this point

yeah I've certainly exaggerated it...


but man, watching Cousins last night was brutal.


They really shouldn't be starting Livingston at all. I would rather start McKinnie or Quinn. That starting lineup has no spacing at all right now.

KD out of shape after 3 weeks?

Yes lol I know I’m not KD I know when I take a break from working out it’s a bytch to get back in shape
