Toronto had a good game tonight -- taking nothing away from that. GSW will make the necessary adjustments and win the series. Even in a loss, you can see how much better (KL notwithstanding) they are than the Raptors. I still don't think they need KD either, they just need the adjustments that's all.

Plus, it's really not in the NBA's best interest to make this series too short or seem too one-sided. The refs are doing their jobs. Pascal Siakem and Fred Vanvleet over the splash bros? LoL.

Raps I believed in you guys

Well a lot of it is I just don't believe in GS to be honest.

You're better than Portland so I figured you wouldn't choke like that.

Game 1 was trash but it’s always a feel out process so that’s understandable.

Hopefully Game 2 is better.

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.


It's not only that, I have no idea how EVERYONE ignores how much KD lightens the load and keeps everyone fresh (and healthy). Iggy getting hurt tonight isn't a fluke, injuries far more likely when your roster is thin and everyone's pressing.

Gasol was huge in this game early setting the tone and Siakim obviously dominated all game.

So, are we contenders yet?

They did? I had them winning the Finals since trading for Gasol. I think this is just one of those make up a narrative to feel like the underdog/motivate the fan base kind of post.

I still think it's true that the Raps will win, especially with no Durant and possibly no Iggy. I'm just hoping the Warriors win though because of the arrogant parts of your fan base, again, like Drake.
