Steve Kerr can't be weak and keep giving Boogie minutes. I don't think he should play. He's just not fit to play in this series and he will hurt the Warriors with his pick-and-roll defense.

If their losing I can see him doing something stupid, he already sneakily knocked Kawhi going for a rebound.

Durant will come back for game 3, Kawhi will eat him alive, and they'll go down 3-0. Kawhi is Jordan talk will hit it's peak.

The Warriors will make their adjustments (Durant on Siakam, no double teams, more PnR) and Durant will have his legs back.

Warriors will then win 4 in a row, redeeming the 3-1 lead they blew to the Cavs. Durant will also redeem the 3-1 lead he blew to the Warriors.


This guy will be back for game 3:

I doubt it.


Steve Kerr just needs to scrunch his face and he'll basically be saying this:

"I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive."

KD is coming back for game 2 or 3.

Easy win for the raps.

Raps take Game 2. Series doesn’t start for the Warriors til Game 3 when KD returns. Might be too late though, especially against this deep Raps team and their great defense.

Is there any insight to Kawhi's life outside of basketball. I find it odd that in this day and age he is not on social media and more or less a complete mystery when you do not see him on the court during a game.

He has a daughter with his live-in girlfriend, he still owns and sometimes drives his 1997 Chevy Tahoe from high school (seen below), and I know when he was in San Antonio he used to hang out at the mall and LOVED chicken wings lol. He was a regular at Wing-Stop in San Antonio and notoriously still used wing coupons when he went there :lol:

You ain't jonesin' for that vintage 2010 Marc Gasol/Andrew Bogut matchup?

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet.

Two of the sweetest passing big men the L has seen. Personally, I'm just mad Bogut never developed the trey.
He's been too busy tearing up the Australian league the past few seasons.

I love your enthusiasm will haha. Seems like we've had to wait a year just to get to game 2! Can only imagine how stressed Warriors or Raptors fans must be.

Warrior fans stressed? Been through this 5 years in a row, this is old hat, win, lose, there's always another game. Until there isn't.

Massive game tonight. I really feel the winner tonight takes the series.
I'd love to say the last game really makes me confident it's the raptors.. but I figure game 1 was a wake up call for GS.
Which coach adjusts better tonight? We'll see.
