This is going to be so lopsided.

Raps in 3. but seriously expect Curry to take everything and make KD's legacy to shreds.

Toronto is going to have to find a way for Siakam to get a bit of run at the 5 since Gasol and Ibaka will probably struggle a lot on the perimeter.
Klay will guard Lowry. Steph will guard Green. Iguodala will guard Kawhi. Draymond will play free safety on Siakam and not guard him at all.
Toronto will be praying that Cousins can play so Gasol has somewhere to match up with. Otherwise the small ball will play him off the floor. FVV will get ate up by livington/klay unless Toronto sends double teams.

yeah Gasol is an amazing defender but he'll be in tough this series. this is the worst possible matchup for him.

So, I guess the Raps go smaller with Ibaka?

we'll see. Gasol might surprise us. He's kind of a genius defensively.

The Bucks didnt even have an actual offensive game plan. They looked like a high school team. The Warriors actually run sets. And if you think Kawhi is gonna be able to chase Curry all over the court and still carry them offensively you are soely mistaken.

When the Warriors collapse the defense, they won’t be kicking out to Eric Bledsoe.

I can't see what the Raptors can do here. I don't think they have the tools to stop the splash brothers. They are too big and slow.

It really won't. Toronto's defense is too good. Golden State doesn't have anyone who's a threat to drive like Giannis to collapse the D.

I want a Raptors win, but this will be a sweep.

There's nobody better equipped to stop the splash bros than the team that can throw all of lowry green kawhi siakam vanvleet at them all game long.

What says he even plays? Already ruled out for game 1 and 2.

I have it being a competitive series with the Warriors winning in 6 and closing out at Oracle with a finals clinching win. Nothing but respect for the Raptors and nothing will come easy against them.

Lmao a sweep

Better start checking recipes for crow now. I'll bet you right now we don't get swept.

People are overrating what the Warriors have done to get here and underrating what we did. Makes for a great underdog story.

What pleasure does the Raptors getting swept by Golden State give any Bucks fans? All I've seen on their sub reddit is them hoping Golden State destroys Toronto, as if that's going to wash away the completely pathetic collapse of their inexperienced team.

that's where the smart money should be.

but imho, raptors are gonna bring it to the warriors. 6 games min.

Rooting for Kawhi to stay with the Raptors. Toronto is a BEAUTIFUL city to live in and he has the whole country backing him up -- plus he's close to NY and all that. King of the East!

Curry is definitely going to be playing for a FMVP
