How could anyone watch this game and think we're only a piece away. Wow... Chef Curry. It's kind of depressing watching these two elite teams duel it out.

Oh we're a piece away alright... A piece away from being swept in the second round

I don't think I've ever laid eyes upon a better starting lineup and I don't think I'm being a prisoner of the moment either.

It's sad how other teams have great players like Curry, LeBron, KD, Dirk, KG, Duncan, Kobe, Shaq, Wade etc etc who actually have carried their teams places and the Raptors best player is VC who gets worshipped around here for dunks and taking the team to the 2nd round once.

One day the Raptors will have a great player..one day.

Could you imagine Casey serving in a dual role similar to Rivers? You're seeing that with the Clippers.

Draymond Green's importance to the Warriors is actually ridiculous.

A 6'7 guy who can guard the SG-PF positions, and play the C in a small lineup. Who can shoot the 3, consistently make plays with passing, and be a factor in the paint.

May be blasphemous to say, but I think James Johnson could be a poor man's Draymond Green if he could shoot. Similar (but lesser) all-around impact.

lol so after 12 games, we were the closest to beating GS, but the refs wouldn't have that.
