It's not that simple. The Warriors' off ball movement and constant screening is something you need to get used to. Especially after playing two teams in Philly and Milwaukee that have far more predictable half court offensive attacks. And Golden State employs a lot of plays they simply don't run as much during the RS, in addition to ramping up their effort. They haven't lost a Game 1 since 2016 against OKC, even though they've lost 16 postseason games since that point. It helps that Toronto has homecourt advantage and so they're playing this one at home, but I think there's high potential they punch Toronto in the mouth tonight.

I've watched The Raptors for the whole Playoffs and this team is hungry and determined. They can beat The Warriors and this is going to be a very tight series. Screw the odds, I'm predicting The Raptors win it all.

I still can't believe the Raptors are in the final. This is their year.
