Nothing more fun than walking through a city right after a championship. I rode on a firetruck, shared whiskey with a homeless dude, hugged a cop, watched people dance on an overturned car, and smoked a blunt in the middle of broad street the night the Phillies won in 08. Sadly I was in Mexico when the Eagles won the superbowl and didnt get to experience the city immediately after. Congratulations, I hope you got to soak it all in.
I mean the TO was their only hope at that point. Hope the Raps miss it and turn it over somehow. There was nothing left for them to do at that point.
KD will get a max from somebody. I don’t see him opting in when he will get a long term deal from someone. Plus you don’t know if he trusts the GS medical staff to work through his rehab. Knicks and nets will both offer a max to him and the Warriors might too. I feel bad for Klay but hope they take care of him. ACL is less serious than Kd’s Achilles and Klay has a better shot at a full recovery.
Yeah I have no doubt he would still get a max from someone. Just wondering if he might want to rehab where he's comfortable and he can take the year to assess his options next offseason. Still think he opts out, but the opt in might be in play now when it previously wasn't.
The thing is we don’t know how comfortable he is rehabbing there if they told him he couldn’t be badly injured and then he tore his Achilles. For what it’s worth, Woj reported that opting in is KD’s last resort.
The last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup was the same year as the Mitch Williams incident
Yeah, I think that calling that TO - even without one - was their only option. No way they get the ball off the floor, to a shooter, and then a shot up in time. I was actually really impressed with Iggy fouling Kawhi before the inbound pass got to him - super smart because it preserved the .9 seconds left; I don’t think many players would have realized I gotta foul this guy before the ball gets here.
If you are a 19 year old in Boston you've been able to celebrate 12 championships, if you are a 19 year old in CANADA you've had zero, up until yesterday.
The last chip is older than the Raptors
OG has been out and maybe not going to reach his potential for what people thought he’d be too. Early to tell. But Masai is amazing. He does so much scouting in Africa too which has been a bit less scouted than places like Europe. Siakim was an amazing pick up. The trade for Kawhi was ballsy but paid off amazingly. Hope he stays but will be curious to see what happens in free agency.
Yea the worst part of this championship is that the Drake curse has come to an end. I loved that he was sports cursed.
