god damn does this team suck without the big 3 though. but with them they're unbeatable. i don't know if this convinces me to go big 3 or not.

GS has had great role players so either way you'd still need high level role players

[DowNY]

Curry did all he could

[god shammgod]

Refs absolutely horrible this gamrle, missing obvious calls then making a bunch of questionable calls. Rewarding lowry flopping all game.

it was bad but not for just one side. they were letting golden state maul people on d too.

not this year they don't

Man, the Raptors have gotten a crazy amount of...not luck...I don't want to imply that because they've been working hard. Maybe "bounces"? There have been a metric ton of bounces go Toronto's way tonight, and combined with them shooting well and the Warriors missing Klay/Kevan, the game is where it is.

But yeah, a lot of out of bounds, loose balls, offensive rebounds were in favor of the Raptors. I'm curious how the Warriors look if it levels out in Game 4.

it depends who's back or not for the warriors. curry played as best as he could. i don't even know he can do this again, 50 point games in the finals don't happen often.

Well Iggy and Livingston are probably at the end of their careers and they are not scrubs, but you're right this year GS is not deep

TO however has enough depth and is throwing guys at GS with aggression and wearing on them. It's going to be tough for GS to handle TO's physical D without Klay to space the floor with Curry

toronto essentially played a 7 man lineup with ibaka and vanvleet being the 2 getting minutes off the bench, powell played 6 minutes nobody else really played. GSW played the deeper lineup, even with KD and Klay out they had significantly more minutes off the bench

I'd actually be curious if they just ran it back like this and the random bounces were even, while the Raptors didn't shoot...

>checks notes<

...17-38 from deep.

Deeper lineup doesn’t mean **** when 7 of those dudes aren’t good

[SelbyCobra]

this will solve itself. drake gonna be busy pouting when the raptors are getting that ass waxed. imagine the warriors losing a game because they had problems containing fred vanvleet. as if.

And 7 guys playing well is a lot more than GS can say for themselves tonight

true but my point being the raptors are riding the wheels off their starters and essentially played only 2 dudes off the bench, they aren't playing a crazy deep lineup or anything

[Clyde_Style]

Still feel a KD/KI/AD line-up would almost never end up with all three healthy in a finals round and if we had nothing left like Mitch to surround them with it'd end up being fruitless

We can both be more or less correct because I see more depth on TO in the 1-7 rotations than for GS if they're without Klay and KD

Ibaka and Green showed up tonight and it made a big difference
