Cavs are looking rattled. Still think they'll get it done, but Raptors bringing a lot of momentum to game 5. Interesting to see if JV plays game 5 too.

How about them Raptors eh?
They've come along way from learning how to open doors

No one was better at this than the '94 Knicks. World class nut punchers/kickers
I wonder who had a Raptors Vs OKC Final on their booking sheet at the start of the season?
Still some way to go yet, but we're getting dangerously close to it

Do you not think the Cavs are gonna blow the Raps the next two games?
I thought they'd sweep them 4-0 before the series started to be honest, but the Raptors have stubbornly refused to die
Cleveland must still be the favourites, but we are getting dangerously close to a Canadian side reaching the Finals
I'd like to see it to be honest, I think it would be good for the sport
I'd really be surprised if it's not Thunder/Cavs.
Think he'll sign a one year deal with OKC which would put his contract up at the same time as Westbrook. What happens next? I haven't a clue

Think the run would realistically need to go all the way to put them to bed. So many options for him, added endorsement money in a big market, joining an even more loaded team, going home to DC..... Interesting decision.
LeBron left Miami to return home... Think it would come down to who could offer him the chance to win multiple championships. OKC have dumped salary plenty times before. Do they have the financial power to surround him with the players required to do so?

The way they are going this year with the improvement of Adams has shown they have the pieces in place. I think next year is the last year of Adams rookie contract and he will want to get paid after that which will make things different. Maybe a one year deal as mentioned above makes a lot of sense?

Is the big market really needed these days with the social media presence? Look at the likes of Kyrie and Lillard, both got signature shoes despite not being in the biggest of markets. KD also hasn't done to bad himself in Oaklahoma. Also realistically is he really going to go to a team with a better player than Russel Westbrook?

Understand what you are saying but it has been reported his Nike deal contains bonuses for playing in NY, LA or Chicago. I imagine playing well there would lead to more opportunities than OKC as well.
See your point in regards to Westbrook. Have read articles about Spurs and Warriors pushing for him this off season, not sure how realistic those stories are and what those teams would potentially have to get rid off to make that work.

The Wizards saved cap room to sign KD and all they had to do was say get a 4-5 seed and push the Cavs a bit in the playoffs and he might have came. Not anymore though, the Wizards were lousier than everton.
I think KD might have left if OKC flamed out in the postseason but that doesn't look like it will happen. Durant will sign a one year deal. Kev and Westbrook will stay if OKC ponies up the money to sign Adams and keep the side intact. There is talk that the Lakers will make a run at both in 2017-18.
