Waiting for somebody to say "Kawhi didn't dominate and Raptors won, this looks bad for GSW". Actually there will be a lot of other ridiculous takes.

Lowry with that random long three at the end. That was hilarious and unnecesary

Going down 0-2 or 1-1 series plays into Draymond, Curry and Klay's hand perfectly. Durant gets to save face, come back and help win the 3-peat. Then he resigns as they all realize the load until retirement is much lighter if they stay together and chase all-time history.

Defense wins championships...and Raptors/Bucks have the best defense

Toronto played well but they threw in some crazy shots at times. The Danny Green contested three in the corner, VanFleet had one roll around and bank in. I'm pretty sure Siakam wasn't even looking at the basket on one where he kinda flipped it behind his head.

If you picked the Warriors in 4 then you were foolish. Anyone reasonable picking Golden State acknowledge they were going to lose 2 or 3 games by picking them in 6 or 7.

I still have them in 6. First game back from a long break. They'll adjust and be fine. They're champions and won't back down to this.

Playoff is where talent thrive. Anyone takes 6 game sample and say GS is better team without KD are fooling themselves.

This teamball thing was new back in 2015 but it's 2019 now and teams have caught up. If GS struggle in game 1, they will struggle more in the next game as Toronto continue to game plan it.

GS need KD back to reduce those double team loading up on Curry. And then KD comes back, he will play like fmvp again.

Yes but is Kawhi going to play like this the whole series?

He still scored 22. Not like he didn’t do anything.
Lowry will be better. Kawhi has been averaging over 30 this was a bad game for him.

Subpar. I wouldn’t say bad. But yes we’ll see how this series plays out.

Yeah and Siakam Green Gasol Fleet just had games of they lives bud.

Siakim had a similar game against Orlando , he was going to get his at some point in this series. GSW will have to change their defense on Kawhi to cover Siakim opening it up for Kawhi etc. The Warriors are up against it more than you think. not enough bodies

For sure, nowhere close to anything bring determined. Warriors win game 2 and the situation changes quickly

KD's defense on Siakam is why I would give GSWs the slight edge if KD was healthy. GSW have nobody that can guard Siakam.

Wait no longer It has been already posted by a few posters.

I don't think Warriors fans understand the type of defense we've seen all playoffs. This Warriors defense is light work man.

Seriously what **** narrative? Just because They swept Portland? Dude this Raps team might be the best team GSW has ever faced in their title run. Ofcourse they need KD. Portland isn't even close to the level this team is. Seriously someone please explain to me how people thought GSW was going to sweep them with this team?

I don't mind when Drake is passionate on the sidelines....but talking trash to the opposing team and giving them more motivation is the only thing I don't want Drake doing

Scary thing is...the Warriors did an amazing job containing Kawhi and making it super tough for him.

Who da champs?!
