NBA '18/'19 Season

I’m glad my feelin’ was wrong. 

Ha ha.

What a crazy and bizarre finals. Going to be really interesting to see what Klay's injury turns out to be. If he doesn't go down, we sure Golden State isnt winning game 6 and 7? And good for Toronto, but god damn how many breaks do you need to go your way? Durant and Klay out, you've got Livingston and Quinn Cook in the backcourt with Curry for the rest of the game. If Durant and Klay are healthy for that finals, GSW may have swept them. But I'm not complaining. 

There was a small part of me rooting for a game 7 and Draymond to get another technical and suspension. 

My early offseason predictions:

No idea on Durant. I'd imagine he'll still get max offers from everyone he can, but it'd make sense to just take the money with GSW and let Curry and Klay carry the team to the playoffs and target a possible return then? Boogie is gone. Maybe he goes to the Lakers? I hope Livingston and/or Iguodala retire. I could see Iggy coming back for another year. Looney will go east and sign some ridiculous contract. I hate to say it, but I don't see this dynasty over yet. Klay and Curry are too damn good. 

Kemba stays in Charlotte. Idk about Kawhi. Maybe the Clippers? and fuck Kyrie, who cares. I think AD ends up with the Lakers but I wouldn't make that trade unless Lakers send Kuzma. Ingram is good but the blood clot thing is scary. 2019-2020 NBA league pass team(s): Obviously Pelicans but also Atlanta Hawks. 

Lastly, always surprised how damn long the playoffs are. Two months ago (April 13) the Raptors lost their first game to the Magic. 

also, congrats to NBA champ Jeremy Lin

Klay tore his ACL. 

Man the Warriors really had to pay up for all the luck of the past 5 years.  

Golden State will continue to be good but their reign of terror is over. With Klay's injury, Lil Steph won't carry that team by himself.

Steph*, Klay*, and Draymond* still have ZERO titles against a team with a healthy roster or without KD saving them.

This is why this is so great. Not that two of their key players suffered injuries but because the Warriors have been beneficiaries, for a lot of their series', in facing teams that weren't at full strength or were missing their key player. Just waiting for all the excuses to fly from their (soon to be former) "fans." It will be fine for them to make excuses yet LBJ didn't get to make any when he should've been the Finals MVP in 2015 and was shorthanded.

Not sure if it was mentioned here or on RCF, but it is only fitting their dynasty ends the way it started... with injuries.
