Trump is egotistical he isnt going to give the nba any attention knowing the warriors arent going to show up to the white house. Also aren't you the dude with the demar avi that kept hating on the kawhi trade? If so interested to hear what your take is now :lol:

You would think that but he held his own against some of the small lineups against Milwaukee and Philly.

Dude is smart as **** on defense

I’m not worried about gasol. He won’t get exposed and he and nurse won’t let him get switched onto curry or klay. And playoff serge is a fine backup.

I’m still hopeful a gasol-centered offence from the elbow can exist here and there.

Guys do you remember we didn't have good record at each 1st game every year's playoff?
Hope this year will be different

The more I think about the matchups without kd I become more confident in the raptors in game 1. With kd chances are slim but

They are going to have to use Draymond as a rim protector with only Kevin and bogoot at C

Sure he can guard kawhi but will old Iggy Klay and Looney stop siakam and gasol at the rim?

This is a series where our rebounding woes should not be so bad, which is great for transition opportunities and getting stops in the clutch

Kyle has to bully Steph man..rough him up. Drive into his chest. Foul him on the way up. Steph hates that

They are probably just looking up Social Media thinking "Who the F are the Toronto Raptors?"

More like thinking "where is Toronto?" since American's don't realize something exists outside their country :lol:

Don’t know if anyone read this article. “6 reasons the Raptors can and will beat the Warriors”

1. Kawhi Leonard is a Warriors killer — or at least the closest thing to one
2. Kevin Durant is still unavailable
3. Toronto’s defense is vicious — and versatile
4. Home court matters
5. Toronto should be hungrier
6. Is this destiny?

:lol:

Apparently we have no one else. But if you put our guys on the Warriors as their supporting cast and they’ll talk about the greatest team ever assembled
