I expect Steph, Klay, and Draymond will be 100% focused tonight.

They'll probably use that a bit tonight and get an initial surge. Toronto will have to adjust back to that and if they can do it, I don't see what's left for GSW besides just spamming Curry/Klay as much as humanly possible.

This has been the Raptors M.O. all playoffs. They have the personnel to adjust after the opponent makes their move. They can match anything GSW does. Then it will just come down to execution.

Without KD, I don't see any big adjustment GSW can make to get consistent open looks. Like I said, they have one big curve to throw and Toronto will probably match it, and then it's just going to have to be Curry/Klay hitting tough shots.

I don't get why more people aren't mentioning using Bogut on Gasol. Everyone keeps saying how slow Bogut is now but Gasol isn't exactly a speed demon these days. Cousins is clearly rusty. Bogut has skills to give some resistance to Gasol.

Basically the size of Gasol and Siakam is the biggest issues Warriors have to solve.

The issue is our lack of offensive threats. Playing Bogut over Cousins, or even Looney, leaves us with another non-scorer on the court.

Love how Alessia Cara did The Canadian National Anthem and I'm not even Canadian.

Must win for Toronto. If you lose it’s a best of 5 series where 3 of the games are in Oakland, and Durant will probably be be back for all of them or all but one. Golden State will be focused tonight.

Raps fans yelled at Pierce to pick GS with the jinx. The fan base is hilarious and the national media is discovering it.

The cousins expirement has been a complete failure thus far. No reason to think tonight is any different.
