This half alone you're looking at 2-7 from the field and 1-4 from 3. When in reality he is 2-5 from the field and 1-2 from 3 (with two 70 footers that were not far off...4-4 FT).

Great half overall. Moderate foul trouble for both teams. But a fun half. Dissection will come later.

NBA.com tracks these things if you want to deal with their awful menus and figure it out.

Uh I was actually speaking the truth lol players of lowrys caliber don't have haters because nobody really cares about them other than fans of the team

I don't think this guy's really plugged into NBA media and social media. There was an uproar when he made the ASG this season, he gets crapped on every year when the Raps are eliminated too, even when he put up solid numbers in the "LeBronto" series

Tbh we haven't been aggressive, all our points in the paint have been uncontested dunks or layups

GSW want to run and are not fouling if they don't have to slow the game down.

We really need like a 3 month waiting period on "legacy" proclamations.

No, but the same could be said for the amount of defensive help or responsibility he has. And he has still looked questionable(Harden-esque) on that end.

Raptors need to focus on boxing out and I think we will be fine

I must have missed it. Which play/call/shot?

Draymond Green 3 pointer was called a 2 in the first quarter. Replay showed he was behind the line but the score was never corrected.

They have to be looking at this at the half right? Isn't the Warriors coaching staff hollering about this? They must know.

Curry is legitimately getting doubled and sometimes tripled teamed. They are not letting him get any look to score.

Of course Lowry is going to play better.

Even without KD their roster consists of 3 Hall of Fame players
2 of which are the greatest shooters of all time
1 is an all time great defender

It’s an exaggeration but they literally have only two threats on the offensive end and both are jump shooters.

Raptors can dare the rest of the team to shoot or make a play. Only Green can when Klay/Curry create the spacing and he can’t shoot.

How different is that team really from the championship Warriors?

Not like they featured more scorers with that core.

Sounds more like the Warriors have been reduced to being a contending team instead of a lock to win. Not a lot of contending team's rosters look that scary once you look past their top 2 scorers. That's just normal lol.

Warriors are lacking shooting around Curry/Klay, I'll give you that.

Raps need to do a better job closing out on those 3s. They could be up much more. Even though I say that I still hate those calls. No effect on shot and shouldnt be given free throws

Iverson?

Iverson couldn't get a high quality shot off from half court, the defense curry faces are just relentless and brutal, unless its the blazers.

Hard to tell from the angle if it was a bad pass or bad hands on loony for me.

I couldn't see where it landed from the angle I had. Curry takes high risk passes often, it's just part of his game.

Who's raising a banner?
