imagine overreacting to that portland series and thinkin toronto would be a cakewalk...

this current version of GSW would never destroy toronto in a 7 game series. Kawhi, Siakam, Ibaka, Gasol, Green, Lowry and Van Vleet are all capable or elite defenders...

if KD doesnt play in this series (lookin like he will) I had Raptors in 7 but this will be the series that you "they dont need KD/they play so much better without KD" morons will learn :ufdup:

It's to early to run with hot takes after one game. What I will say is defense wins chips, the raptors are playing elite level defense. One thing that won't change is the raptors size and length. I honestly don't see much adjusting the warriors can make outside of not doubling Claw. Warriors use movement ball alot and the Raps length able to offset that by getting arms into those passing lanes hence why they had alot of turnovers. This series is where they REALLY need kd because you can get away from movement ball and go iso with him. Without that option it's difficult against the raps. Game 2 gonna tell a whole lot.

I'm gonna look for just that in game 2, how the Warriors attack that defense. Early on, they tried to stick with the offense, pass off the double team.. but later in the game, Curry stayed patient, and turned the corner to get to the paint. He also drew fouls on guys coming to double. He will need to open it up for other guys. starting Cousins will help a bit, since Bell was useless.

Steph adjusted in the second half that’s why he was making them pay for being over aggressive
Flopping doesn't equate to good offense, you all get on Harden's case, but when Curry does a weak/forced imitation of it all of a sudden it's all good:comeon:

nikka stop it he wasn’t flopping Foh

To that fukking lame ass fake ass weirdo Warriors fan in Houston that questioned my loyalty



We all know why it was to manipulate the betting lines and set media narrative so the refs would favor the home team more than they needed too even tho Toronto has the clear advantage of home court and Warriors being hobbled with key players..

Take for instance the Sakeim dunk that he missed when he went straight up and missed yet they called that bullshyt on Iggy and he didn’t even touch him

There was some of that.. not to mention Gasol Fouling curry on the double team to end the half, wasn't called. There is contact both ways that doesn't get called, but it looks like the refs were anticipating plays that they believed should be completed, and when they weren't, fouls were called.

The only questionable one was maybe the foul on Gasol on Curry's 3. Gasol looked like he might have pulled up, and Curry created more contact then there should have been. But Curry just played hard from what i saw. He doesn't get enough calls on his drives as it is.

Exactly that’s the most I ever saw refs call fouls in curry favor..

raptors did what they had to.

other than iggy missing some wide open 3s and some careless turnovers, the warriors looked good. no way siakam and green will shoot that good again from the field. siakam was hitting some ridiculous shots and raptors had a few shots in the 4th where they had to take a difficult shot because the shot clock was going off.
