NBA Season 2018/19

Atmosphere is electric

Monster 1st quarter by Steph, but Raptors are switched on

Going to be a cracker!

Steph won me a lot of $$$'s today.  ;D

That hit to the face looked so gruesome...

After Game 3, I said that whoever wins Game 4 will win the series. I thought GSW would eventually win it with KD back if they could even things at 2-2 but at 3-1, it's time for the Raptors to take it all at home!

[RaisyDaisy]

And just as I'd thought it looks like the AUS vs USA series won't have as much superstars as they'd initially suggested

Harden and AD the only two superstars with a few all-stars and plenty of meh

Knew it'd be a rip, and people should be allowed to get refunds imo - advertising so much superstars coming, charging through the roof for it, then most of them don't even come

[RaisyDaisy]

KD back

Gotta go for broke now

[jvalles69]

I jumped on Warriors last night straight up and in a few multis, cannot see Warriors going down 4-1 and I still think Raptors win this in 7 games.

[RaisyDaisy]

Just following up on what I said earlier - this is the 20 man squad, which will get crunched down to 12

Pretty poor form advertising so much superstars coming so people pay up for tickets, then only 2-3 actually come

Harrison Barnes   Sacramento Kings
Bradley Beal   Washington Wizards
Anthony Davis   New Orleans Pelicans
Andre Drummond   Detroit Pistons
Eric Gordon   Houston Rockets
James Harden   Houston Rockets
Tobias Harris   Philadelphia 76ers
Damian Lillard   Portland Trail Blazers
Kevin Love   Cleveland Cavaliers
Kyle Lowry   Toronto Raptors
CJ McCollum   Portland Trail Blazers
Khris Middleton   Milwaukee Bucks
Myles Turner   Indiana Pacers
Kemba Walker   Charlotte Hornets
Kyle Kuzma   Los Angeles Lakers
Brook Lopez   Milwaukee Bucks
Paul Millsap   Denver Nuggets
Donovan Mitchell   Utah Jazz
Jayson Tatum   Boston Celtics
P.J. Tucker   Houston Rockets

Wow... that lineup is genuinely trash. I might actually ask for a refund.

KD cooked, re injured his Achilles.  :o

KD cooked, re injured his Achilles.  :o

I'm under the impression it's just lower calf, not achilles (i.e. muscle, not tendon) but still really tough for him. Was playing super well too.

They've kept saying it's calf, but sheesh he grabbed very low when it happened again today - borderline achilles imo

Such a shame, because he was playing well, and injuries in the finals is just a real shame for anyone

[TomK]

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[jvalles69]

What a terrible final play for the Raps, yuck.

Is anyone really surprised though? It's a World Cup warm up game. Last time they played in the world cup this was the roster

That was Steph and Klay pre dynasty, Rose when he sucked a couple years off the knee injury, AD was in year 3. Harden, Kyrie and Boogie were probably playing at an All-Star level at that point, the rest not so much. There was 0 chance they brought out more than 2 legit stars and a bunch of meh players.
