The real story behind tonight is:

GS throws first game
which entices KD to come back to rescue them
GS wins series
KD is vindicated
GS resigns KD

It's just one game though, sure the Dubs were well rested but that Toronto franchise was amped like at no other time ever so this isn't surprising. The Raps not letting game two slip away is going to be a test of their mentality.

Kawhi looking like the second coming of Jordan out there.

He can take a playoff team to the next level.

He's that good.

For Knicks I think we need GSW to won without KD.
That'd force KD to seek challenge to build his legacy.

The same people overreacting after one game were the same people overreacting last series after Milwaukee was up 2-0. People will never learn that the series isn't over yet.

I had Warriors over Raptors in 6 games before the playoffs even began and I'm sticking with it.

Just one game, but the Raptors just play different. They can all contribute something on offense, but each position can defend too.

Game 2 will be the true test for them.

Kerr lost this game for the Warriors. His big line-ups are trash. He's falling head first into the Raptors's trap.
