Sox don't be stupid. There was no way they would have gotten swept. Also though, there was pretty much no way they could win the championship either. I figured they would win this series, and then lose 4-2, maybe 4-1. Toronto is not the better team. They played better this series, had better officiating, and had things go their way, yes, but Milwaukee is not young. All their key players have been in the league 4-5+ years except Brogdon. I hate the Warriors with kd, but I will love to see Drake cry like a bitch when they lose.
They did blow it, but part of basketball is being able to close. The Warriors should have lost to OKC and Houston a few years ago, but those teams blew it, that's just part of it. The Spurs blew it to the Heat, the Heat blew it to the Mavs, etc. etc. Part of basketball.
No offense but you are underestimating the Warriors, the Bucks would have been childs play for them, go ask Lebron how he the finals went when he first took his team, or ask KD how it went when he took the Thunder. The Warriors would have destroyed the Bucks, the Warriors are one of the best teams in history.
Seeing the Brewers have the #1 record last year, and be 1 win away from the World Series was really tough. The Bucks having the longest winning streak to open the season this year helped ease that pain, and ultimately had the best team all year, only lost 2 in a row one time. How do you go up 2-0, then lose 4 straight? All those games they had the upper hand at one point, or most of the game, and still blew it. That's not Toronto being resilient, that's just blowing it. They will get better mentally, they will be back. It's tough to swallow though. Now it's the waiting game until Jets season. They would be lucky AF to have half the success those 2 teams had. Maybe I'm spoiled for liking such good teams at all, but sports is seriously my life. It's my biggest hobby, and to get so close, and deserve to keep going, only to choke at the end... Just very, very depressing.
Nah I see what you mean man, you make fair points, but how many teams with the best record in the league have been swept? I don't know the answer, but I'm sure it's a very little amount.
Oh nice. For reference i'm actually a Spurs fan, I'm just not one of the butthurt ones that is upset at Kawhi. At the end of the day Kawhi won the Spurs a title, and the Spurs traded him, he could have played on the Spurs this season and left. Kobe once wanted a trade to, the Lakers didn't grant it, and things got better. The Spurs probably should have kept him, and maybe they would be playing the Bucks in the finals right now, but one trade kinda changed things for both our franchises =/
When the Jets play with Packers every 4 years I root for the Jets, but otherwise, yeah that's my home team. I've been there countless times, so i do root for them.
1991 Jordan toppled the Lakers at age 28, Kawhi will have a chance to topple the Warriors at age 27. The Warriors are a tall order but with home court advantage it gives them a chance.
Eat what crow? I'm not a raptors fan nor am I guaranteeing them to win. They are underdogs and in all likelihood do not win.
Is Kawhi Leonard still a free agent after this season? I remember everyone saying it was a terrible trade because he will just walk after this year. Now he may have to think about it. The Raptors look pretty good and the Toronto fans clearly love him. As for this NBA Finals, you never know, but the Golden State Warriors should 3-peat.
I feel embarrassed to root for the Warriors, but out of jealousy, and wanting revenge, I'm hoping, and waiting for them to crush Toronto. The less involved that back stabbing coward is would be even better. Then he can go to the Knicks or whatever.
Bummed the Bucks got knocked out, they were my one hope for a happy finals winner. Let's just not have a winner this year.
I am not as informed with basketball as much as I am in football or hockey, but logically the Warriors should dominate the series. I don't think the Raptors are as good as the Rockets or Trail Blazers. Never know though in sports, but it should be a sweep or 5 games.
20 years ago your Bucks team would’ve dominated their way to a title. These days you can’t win with their style. I don’t think they choked I just think they don’t have the team constructed to get it done.
