EASILY, one of the top five dumbest things ever posted on Covers. Ask any general manager in the NBA what they think of K.D. and if they'd like to have him on their team. Top five player, MVP and lock for the HOF.I just think the Dubs are a better team w/o KD....
Agreed, they won every championship with him so I guess it's impossible to be better.

They also won without him and play better TEAM ball without him... Dont get me wrong they are deadly team either way but the warriors are at their best when they move the ball and dont play iso offense like they do with KD

Warriors are -525 on the series price, not even an option to hedge.
Also, why is everyone talking like the Bucks are already a shoe-in to be in the finals? The 76ers have the 2nd best starting 5 in the league, Toronto struggling in a few games against them isn't anything to overreact about.

of course, 5d the only book that moved to +6 so quickly before we could react. Grrr. I'll be on Toronto game one, but will see if I can get the +6.5 back first though.
Toronto is coming into game 1 extremely battle tested rn, and unlike Portland, they aren't going into game 1 with just 1 days rest as Portland has to play again tomorrow night, but Toronto gets until Wednesday. Will wait for game 2/3 to back Portland.

Why? Because not only are the Bucks as good or talented but they will also have the refs on their side. As I told you a few months back, the NBA wants to see two US teams play each other. Last I checked, Canada was not a part of the US. That's why the Sixers got 30 FT on the road and he Raptors only 17. The refs gave the Sixers every opportunity to win that game. Historically, the Raptors have gotten the short end of the stick when it comes officiating. And having Leonard (the silent superstar) won't change that. Especially not against the Greek Freak.

This is complete nonsense BB, don't buy into that crap. The NBA doesn't get what they want nor do they control the outcomes. If they did, 6 of the last 10 NBA finals wouldn't have ended in 5 games or less. Which they did resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue. The NBA isn't going to do anything to prevent Toronto from getting to the finals.
Additionally, you don't think the entire country of Canada are Raptors fans and would tune in to their team being in the finals? How many people in the US are Bucks fans? The NBA has been trying to expand internationally for years. There's a reason Canada has a team, there is a reason games are being held in London every year, and there is a reason the NBA has discussed putting a team in Europe for years. You think the NBA would hold Toronto back from getting to the Finals? That's backwards thinking. The NBA brand is literally trying to expand globally...
If the Bucks get to the finals it's because they won fair and square, not because the NBA wants it.
And with that being said, as I've thought since the beginning of the year , I expect Toronto to be in the finals this season because they have a top 3 defense in the league, have the best home-court record over the past 2 seasons (better than GS) and they added Kawhi Leonard.
