I know, I know, it feels inevitable, but I need to lull myself into a false sense of underdogly anticipation for at least the first quarter

That arena might be crazier than MSG when the Knicks are good.

I expect TOR to win tonight. Then expect GS to get back to business.

Yea they should be able to hang, since they have Kawhi. This game seems like the Portland series though where the Warriors are always trailing but are within striking distance which is very dangerous because you know GS can just turn up the intensity later on and gain the lead. The big difference is that the Raptors have Kawhi instead of an injured Dame Lillard.

They are a better team than Portland. Better defensive team. I'm not getting the feeling that the Warriors are just waiting to pounce like I did in that series.
