I would have just chimed in if I was Vogel with a simple “How did it feel to ask your last question at a lakers press conference?”

I was listening to Fox Sports radio this morning...they were saying how boring the playoffs have been this year. In my opinion- I love it! New teams outside of Golden State. No Lebron. Honestly makes me more interested in the NBA going forward.

The Warriors play the game with so much heart. The talent blooms from it.

Guess it is worth asking. Max for Harris or 15-17 per year for Bogie?

Bogie. Harris is better but does not deserve a max. Especially after his mediocre playoffs. I'd give him give him 22-26 mil a year but not 4/141.

The secret weapon about to be unleashed. They're bringing in Kawhi 2.0.

More info on why OG has been out so long.  His appendix ruptured before his surgery and he also developed some infection complications so it was much more than a routine appendix removal.

Yikes good thing he went to a hospital probably be dead if not

[KingPG21 6,584]

Rockets made everyone available. Guess the narrative is they want LeBron? 

 

Lol, who structured Chris Paul's contract. That should be grounds for automatic termination. What a horrible deal

[HoosierFan1994 4,746]

Warriors in 6. Think this will be a really good series. I've thought for a few years that Kawhi was a top 3 player in the league. I just think the Golden State is too good. I don't know the impact Durant will have but Curry, Green, and Thompson will step up. Think Iggy has a good series.

Who do you put on Kawhi and how do you defend him?

From what I have watched in the playoffs...is you defend others tightly. Sometimes they just give to Leonard and hope. Sacrficing their own shots many times.

You can't. Kawhi will go off. I think it's up to the others (Lowry, Green, Siakam, VanVleet). Getting OG back would be huge for Toronto. 

[HoosierAloha 30,068]

A bit surprised Toronto won but I still think GSW get one in Tor and win the series.

Some Friday fun facts from 247Sports - How every player in the finals was ranked as a recruit.

Raptors head coach Nick Nurse told reporters Thursday the 21-year-old is ruled out for Game 1 of the NBA Finals after being upgraded to questionable, but the plan is to activate him for Game 2 at Scotiabank Arena on Sunday, according to ESPN's Tim Bontemps.

Anunoby has yet to take the floor this postseason after undergoing an emergency appendectomy April 11. His appendix ruptured prior to having surgery which complicated his recovery.

Nurse stated earlier in the week Anunoby was "probably about 10 days away from playing."

The sophomore forward averaged seven points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 20.2 minutes across 67 appearances this season.
