Gotta take care of home court. This will be the toughest challenge, but we have shown all playoffs that this team can overcome adversity. Gotta go up 2-0 and split in G-State.

LETS GO!!!!!!

They would be able to switch that action easily and Lowry looks fine guarding Dray in the post.



There’s a lot of different people we can throw at them. But looking at the GS offense the only real way to guard them is switch on everything.

So I’m a little worried about how we can do with Gasol out there.

Theoretically our small ball death lineup on D would be Siakam, OG, Kawhi, Green, Lowry


Gasol will be fine. He's too smart to take himself off the floor.

Yea I was watching highlights with JV and he held his own.

It’s the 4th q when they go small that I’m worried about.

But I don’t know what it is but I’m not THAT scared of GS compared to Philly and Milwaukee. Maybe it’s cause I’m just happy to be in the finals.

Home court, let alone game 1 is must a win. I've had my doubts on the Raptors these playoffs because of Raptors past and that the bench has not showed up at different stretches in earlier series, but it seems they are coming back strong lately. I'm not going to doubt these Raptors anymore. They are here as last two teams standing for a reason. Everyone wrote them off when they lost the first two against the Bucks who were having a historic run, but we saw how that turned out. I'm going to start believing that these Raptors have what it takes to get it done, even if they are down 3-0, they have what it takes to win 4 straight. Championship in Toronto is on the horizon, Raptors in 7.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the finals, I will fear no warriors: for Kawhi art with me; Kyle's booty and Gasol's IQ comfort me. Siakam preparest a locked down fourth quarter for me in the presence of mine enemies: Serge anointest sucka's heads with dunks; my load management runneth over.

Imagine if it was still the NBA on NBC. That iconic theme starting things off.
