OT: The Other Sports Thread VIII - NBA Finals: Raptors vs Warriors

[Runner77]

Man, that NBA commish is such a geek.

 

[Runner77]

Nice of Silver to mention how the game was invented in Canada.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Man, that NBA commish is such a geek.

He's a great one, although he looks like a dork, I agree.

 

[Adriatic]

Man, that NBA commish is such a geek.

Good guy, very likable

 

[groovejuice]

Nice words from the Poindexter Commissioner! Great job Raptors!

 

[Runner77]

Good guy, very likable

Comes across way better than Bettman, that's for sure. Yeah, nice guy.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Raptors win title against half a team

Half a team? They had 4 all stars at the start of the game

while Rapts had one in Kawhi who played injured for 2 series


stupid statement

 

[Runner77]

Nick Nurse sounds like a coach anyone would want to play for. Something inspiring about him.

 

[Deluded Puck]

Basketball has finally come back home!

 

[Runner77]

Leonard wins the MVP.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

listening to Doris is agonizing

 

[DavePeak]

Raps wrap that building closed.

Awwww... reminds me when Habs closed Mellon Arena

 

[GoodKiwi]

Leonard wins the MVP.

His second!

 

[SpezDispenser]

listening to Doris is agonizing

Her and tenenbaum or whatever his name is.

 

[Guns n Roses]

Half a team? They had 4 all stars at the start of the game

stupid statement

Golden State won 3 Championships against 1 player for god sakes... SMH

 

[MasterDecoy]

So

I look at my tsn app, 19 seconds remaining. I won’t have time won’t I? At least I’ll catch the post game celebrations. Meh, let’s try

Find a stream, open it. 15 f***ing minutes it took for the game to end

Then something that made me appreciate hockey even more: the white commish, hands over the trophy to the white owner, who seems to hang on to that trophy way too long while his black athlete - who did all the work just patiently wait. Not good optics

Seriously tho: the coming handing over the trophy to the f***ing owner? That’s f***ed up

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Golden State won 3 Championships against 1 player for god sakes... SMH

and 1 of them was when Irving and Kevin Love was injured
1 that Kawhi Leonard got injured.

So yeah. That snake Cousins signing for only 5m to win a free ring can f*** off

 

[Runner77]

listening to Doris is agonizing

She's got that eerie manly voice, lol.

 

[Runner77]

His second!

Yup. Third player to do it with two different teams.

 

[the valiant effort]

Golden State won 3 Championships against 1 player for god sakes... SMH

And the only one without Durant came against a Cavs team missing Kyrie and I believe Kevin Love? Lmao

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

She's got that eerie manly voice, lol.

and she has this long drawn out way trying to ask a question

 

[sandviper]

Are you going to attend the celebrations?

I hope so. Got a packed weekend but definitely going to try to head into the city with family and friends. Still waiting to see exactly when the celebrations are.

 

[Redux91]

Leonard wins the MVP.

Its petty impressive, now the Third man ever to win Finals MVP on two diff teams along with Kareem Abdul-Jabar and Lebron James

 

[Runner77]

I hope so. Got a packed weekend but definitely going to try to head into the city with family and friends. Still waiting to see exactly when the celebrations are.

Please give us some feedback if you can, while you're in it or after. Should be fun.

Basketball has finally come back home!

That's why Adam Silver is such a great Commissioner and a classy man. He instructed millions and reminded the rest that basketball is a Canadian invention and has "Come Home".

He's still a Poindexter though.
