And all of the 80s finals had the Lakers and/or their archenemy Celtics. The 2 non Laker finals had the Celtics face the Rockets in 1981 and 86. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bucfan56 6,607 Posted May 13 Absolutely UNREAL. That was one of the greatest shots I’ve ever seen to end a series. Biggest shot in Raptors history, easily. Leonard is a damn assassin. One one of the best days of playoff basketball I’ve ever seen. Like I said earlier, it’s a damn shame someone had to lose today. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoE38 1,199 Posted May 13 I admit that I'm not the biggest basketball fan but that is the greatest game and ending I've ever seen and it's not even close. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabcake47 1,410 Posted May 13 “Kawhi, you just hit maybe one of the most memorable series winning shots in recent memory, how did it feel?” “It felt great” 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BringBackTheVet 10,496 Posted May 13 Kawhi is the best basketball player I've seen in a long time. Godsdamn he's good. He's just never bad, but always good. Jimmy Butler is gonna get paid based on this playoff. I suspect it'll be in Phila. Brett Brown, after leading the team through "the process", is almost certainly gone. Is Phil Jackson available? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bucfan56 6,607 Posted May 13 I know y’all hate Golden State (I get it, it’s understandable), but we’re getting a Blazers/Warriors and Raptors/Bucks conference finals. This is probably the best final four I’ve ever seen, at least personally. And even if you hate the Dubs, that’s still 3/4ths awesome. Go back back ten years and tell someone this is the 2019 Final Four. Nobody would believe you 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JG36 153 Posted May 13 It’s composed of a lot of guys who weren’t top 5 picks or had amazing college careers- Curry, Thompson, Green, Lillard, McCollum, Leonard, Lowry, Antentokounmpo... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
