There is nothing funnier than watching the Warriors get all flustered when things don’t go their way.

Raptors defense wasn’t even at their best tonight.

I think Warriors are still underestimating their defense.

But yea it’s fun watching them lose. Even though they can easily win the next 4 games

Raps have too many shooters for Golden State to be sending double teams all game.

Sixers and Bucks had great defense and great length. Warriors D without Durant is just ughhhh...

But GS has the best defensive player in nba history Mr Draymond Green...

And sorry, but the lesson that should have been learned tonight is that the Raptors are too good a defensive team to try to beat them just with two weapons. Godo defensive teams can zero in on those guys, trap them, chase them off spots. The Warriors either need KD back, or they need to rapidly ramp up Cousins. Steph, scoring 30 even, and Klay alone just aren't enough against a top defense zeroing in on them. Weren't even back in the day if you put away your 2019 goggles and remember those early Warriors teams and their bevy of secondary offensive weapons, from Harrison Barnes, to younger Iggy, to Speights and Lee and Barbossa etc.

Siakam will do that again. There's no physical freak like Embiid or Giannis to slow him down this series.

Oddly I had not noticed Pasal averaging 30ppg on 85% shooting this season.

My bad for not paying close enough attention.

Kawhi gunna feast on carcass unless they can patch Iggy uptbh...

well, they could slow him down by taking a little of the extra attention off Kawhi, I guess.

When the Raps are able to set their defense, they are ridiculously difficult to score against. Just gotta clean up the glass, though, to be fair, many of those were just long rebounds that bounced the W's way.

That defense is actually whats the most impressive to me, it can be straight SUFFOCATING at times.

It's only a kicked ball if the player kicks the ball. You pass it into a guys foot it is not a kicked ball.

The Warriors we're unreal at pushing the pace even after a made basket. They absolutely caught the Raptors sleeping numerous times.

HIs handles looked sloppy to me tonight, usually he could carve his way into good shots but tonight he didn't have it.

Who da champs?!
