Having a big man dribble up and initiate the offense is a cheat code. The Lakers used to do that with Lamar. The Warriors were punishing the Raptors when Boogie and Draymond were pushing the pace.

whose man is this
Sam McDadi, real estate guy in Toronto (with the botched plastic surgery to boot.) Sits a few seats over from Superfan. Even goes with him to the away playoff games.

ill say this this Raps team was dead in the Philly series when they went down 2-1 and were blown the fukk out

dead in the Bucks series when we blew Game 1 and went down 2-0

Gotta throw the best shot Game 3. Getting down 2-1, its gonna be hard to win 3 of the next 4 games..Warriors have a killer instinct

Golden State took away Toronto’s down low easy buckets they was gettin in Game 1, PLUS Toronto obviously didn’t expect DeMarcu Cousins to play like regular Cousins. Bogut, Cousins, Looney, Draymond gave Golden State some much needed rim protection that was needed in Game 1. That’s why Siakim, Ibaka, and Gasol didn’t look like all time greats tonight. Golden State figured em out now. I’d be surprised if Toronto win another game in this series.
That’s assuming that the Raptors have a 6 minute stretch without a single bucket again. That 3rd quarter drought seemingly did them in. Yet later in the 4th they were still able to neutralize GSW’s offense to a degree down the stretch, until they made the error of not fouling and Igoudala made the 3 in the final seconds.

The Raptors played themselves chucking all those 3’s, even during 2 on 1 fast breaks, bricking them, and not getting back in transitions on D. To that point I wouldn’t be too sure of GSW having definitive control of this series now

It’s not like they have been unbeatable at home this playoffs. I expect a 2-2 series leaving Oracle

Since the big already has the rock once he passes it its going automatically to capable guard instead of a stiff :whew:

I really think the Raptors are gonna get run out of the gym in Oracle. I don't like what I've seen from them

They will get run out only if they miss shots. It affected their defense during that 18-0 run. I think it is more important for the Warriors to play defense than offense. Continue to trap Kawhi and see if he makes the right play and try your best to run out to shooters. Lowry is due for a big scoring game and feel he will have one in games 3 or 4. I still didn't see the Raptors post up ibaka or gasol much. If Kevon is out their big lineup gets even thinner. Bogut and Cousins have to stay out of foul trouble.

I dont really buy into the idea that his "passing mechanics" are terrible. Its really his vision.

When he gets doubled at the top of the key or the elbow you can telegraph where hes going with the ball because he does not and has not dumped it inside, he always looks to pass behind the 3 point line, in hopes of an open shooter or swinging it to an open shooter. Once you realize that hes not reading the defense it makes it easier to defend.
It is a little bit of both there are times when Kawhi gets the Kobe tunnel vision and forces up a bad shot. But his passing is really bad and I don't understand it because he has huge hands. Passing to an open 3 point shooter is usually the safer play and it is the more efficient shot. When you pass up inside in traffic you got too many hands in there. I would like the Raptors to throw more over the top passes/lobs inside i think Ibaka and Siakam have good chance at catching those balls especially if Looney doesn't play.

He handled Dray 1 on 1 on multiple occasions, wasn't all transition or any abnormal shots.

He got in alil rhythm from the transition buckets...

Saikim is a good dude. And is gonna be a good player but if you watch that team play, u know Sun dont be balling like that
