I think it comes down to Toronto's offense (or Warrior's defense). As amazed as people are with how much defensive attention Curry gets, the Warriors have shown full committment to doubling/trapping Kawhi every time he gets the ball. The end result is some combination of Green, FVV, Lowry, Gasol, Siakam, etc., getting an open 3 off the 1st or 2nd pass, depending on how aggressive KL is driving.

So going into game 4, if KD and Klay play, does their defensive strategy change? If not, i think it'll be a close game bc Raptors role players are comfortable putting points on the board.

I hope both play bc it's about time we saw KD and KL guard each other, esp if GSW goes back to the iso-KD stuff in the high post.

Kd vs kawhi Hobbled on hobbled with two good legs between them

I so agree. I think the Raptors have to switch it up if KD comes back. And if Looney comes back as well. But I need to see Boogie from Game 2. That will neutralize their length more then anything and force then to go man to man which they'll lose if KD is out there.

My concern at this point is that the Raptors got home court back effectively. Which is why I was against GSW sitting Klay. He should have played. Like I said I think they pull this out but it will be tougher to win.
Warriors probably liked their chances to win 3 straight with KD and a more rested Klay as opposed to winning game 3 with Klay being hobbled.

Nope whatever he has forgot the name it’s chronic he will always have it. The more you play the worse it gets
65 game regular seasons and deep playoff runs (ECF/Finals) is a pretty good ROI for a max contract + part ownership of Toronto, Canada for Uncle Dennis :ehh:
