You are trash.
Sincerely,
Everyone else
Dear Raptors Fans,
-
The Larry O'Brien Trophy will be outside of the US for the first time in history. Too bad trashy 'muricans relied on a useless jump shooting team to retain it in the country.
Love,
CanadianUseless jump shooting? You expose your lack of basketball understanding and also middle school math.
Makes sense you’re on ejmr.

Your jump shooting team only legitimately won 1 championship without KD, and about to be embarrassed at home court by Toronto (last game in Oakland stadium). Go back and do your elementary school geometry, little breh.
Also makes sense you're on EJMR.

I don’t need to do my elementary school math because I’ve already mastered concepts like 45% x 3 > 55% x 2
Clearly you haven’t and thats ok. We all have to start somewhere and go at our own pace.
GSW isn’t my team anyway. I’m just not a moron. I suppose you think “your” team would be successful if we took Kawhi off of it?
Toronto was a laughing stock of the playoffs for the entire time they have had Lowry/derozen and would still be if not for a great trade.
But the entire nba model is now something you would derisively and ignorantly call “jump shooting”. Nearly every team (and all of the gold ones) looks at things like expected points per shot, which is why shot charts look vastly different than they did even 5 years ago.
Whether Toronto wins because a 30 million dollar player from the other team is out or whether they have one of the greatest chokes in finals history is irrelevant.
What is constant throughout is your high levels of pure ignorance. Now kindly fk all the way off, eh?

Clearly you are a theorist who ignorantly built his entire argument based on 1 assumption: 45% x 3 > 55% x 2
Fine, let this empiricist give you a proper education on data analysis.
Throughout the entire 82-game regular season, Milwaukee and Toronto secured the best 2 league records (60 wins and 58 wins respectively) on a balanced offensive game built around strong inside presence supplemented by 3 points shooting and bench support. The stats of the top 5 scorers on each team review a stark contrast in their style from GSW:
Milwulkee top 5 scorers aggregate (Giannis, Middleton, Bledsoe, Brogon, Hill):
PPG: 80.6
3PA: 23.1
3P%: 35.86https://www.espn.com/nba/team/stats/_/name/gs
Toronto top 5 scorers aggregate (Leonard, Siakam, Lowry, Gasol, Ibaka):
PPG: 83
3PA: 21.8
3P%: 32.66https://www.espn.com/nba/team/stats/_/name/tor
GSW top 5 scorers aggregate (Durant, Curry, Thompson, Green, Iguodala) :
PPG: 103.7
3PA: 31.6
3P%: 36.36https://www.espn.com/nba/team/stats/_/name/gs
In fact GSW players' point per game, 3 point attempts and 3 points % drop precipitiously outside of their top scorers, meaning they are more liable to boom and bust performance if Curry, Klay and KD have an off-night, or if 1 key shooter is absent. Your 45% 3 points is not even statistically accurate because majority of the teams shoot under 35% (45% is more relevant to a few elite players). The shootings patterns aren't vastly different - more 3 points attempt by role players maybe, but not to the point that competitive teams rely on them like GSW and Houston do.
Toronto won 3 games based on outstanding performance from Ibaka, Gasol and Siakam who took advantage of mismatch inside the paint and their ability to draw fouls for free throws. They comfortably beat GSW in game 4 despite 10/32 3 points shooting because they made up with 23/24 free throws performance. Even in Toronto's 1 point loss in game 5, they only shot 8/32 on 3 points (25%), whereas GSW needed a 20-42 3 points shooting (47.6%) to narrowly escape defeat. In game 6 (and 7 if necessary), GSW have to dig deep to find a third scoring option, whereas Toronto can reliably throw in a few big men inside the paint and attack the rim or draw fouls.
Go back and learn how to analyze real-world data, little breh. Your rant read like a desk reject paper that I couldn't pass "Assumption 2."

Lol at hockey fans with their wispy beards and man-bo obs. Never played hockey or any other sport, but think they are tough because they watch guys roughhousing on TV.
Stupid sport
No contact, no defense
Stupid antics
Stupid courtside attention seekers get as much attention as the game itself. Oooh what will drake wear??
More Canadians will be watching NHL tonight instead of that dodgeball trash
