And yet, you guys will have plenty of excuses if the Warriors win, I'm sure.

Meaning even if all deadly shooters of the Warriors go off as long as DeMar plays relax, the Raptors will win? :banghead:

Warriors at their best against Raptors at their best plus all the luck in the world won't even be close.

Lucky it was against CHA. Had it been any of the playoff teams, they would've lost the game by at least 20.

Was hardly an indication of anything positive moving forward. And just wanna echo what the commentator said, "see that ball stick when it reaches Melo's hand?" &

..."Melo wasn't even trying..." that's on the defensive end.

it's freaky how huge of a difference the homecourt makes in the Nuggets/Spurs matchup.

In San Antonio:
18-2 SAN
vs
7-15 DEN

In Denver:
10-13 SAN
vs
15-5 DEN


It's like two entirely different teams/matchups.

Do the Warriors ever miss a shot? Over-stacked team...

Raptors look like a completely different team then they did vs the Cavs. They look timid.

The team also shot horribly for the most part and still won by 10 points. They haven't been able to squeak out wins in Andre Roberson's absence at all. The bench being productive is a good development.

This Charlotte team also beat Golden State at Oracle so let's not pretend they are some joke of a team. They didn't play well in the fourth quarter, but they are a capable team when things fall into place. Any team can beat any other team during the regular season. Record doesn't matter when it comes to individual games.
