    Didn’t Klay get hurt in gm 6 of last years finals with the raptors already up 3-1? Raptors still winning that series.

      You’re braindead. It was 3-2 so get your facts straight. 3-1 would make it 5 games. Not to mention, they were up by like 10 points before klay went down. So it would’ve gone to game 7, where it’s up in the air

      he was gone in game 4 when the raps were up 2-1 and they barely won. Klay came back and made it 3-2 and he got hurt again and GS would have all the momentum

      Some backward reasoning by Stephen A 🥴

    We don’t need shooters to win championships we have Lebron James the greatness player of all time.

    Plot twist: Steph is giving advice of his shooting form to Dame and is training with Dame

    But you have to realise that LeBron and JR smith have experienced this so going against CJ and Dame is similar literally so LBJ will know how to play them going to have to put KCP or JR on CJ or Dame

    it’s so satisfying seeing Stephen A stutter because he lost the argument

    Lebron been looking a lil shakey this whole time in the bubble…not saying the blazers win this series but I don’t see james just magically dropping 30 35 out of nowhere and going beast mode….his age is finally starting to show

    🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹 keep sleeping on playoff bron, 😂😂😂😂 that man will go for 12,50, and 9. But if AD fucked up, bron will carry the load and drops 40+, 7, 10. Y’all don’t know what you asking for.

    Yes Steven A I completely agree with you that they keep forgetting the Warriors are ready and waiting to annihilate the teams in the new season. Can’t wait for the Splash Brothers and team to wreck some Golden Magic

    I would love to see the Trail Blazers upset the Lakers but that’s not going to happen. The Lakers are an over all better team than the Trailblazers sorry!😭

    Nobody can shoot like the Warriors

    August 18, 2020 at 8:10 pm

    So the only team that can beat the Blazers is the Warriors with Steph and Klay?

  23. Darius Cabrera
