Drake, Trudeau and Obama in the house tonight.

If the Raptors lose a home court game, they will lose the series. Tonight is huge.

Raptors fans, is Drake a die hard fan? I don’t remember seeing him front and center when the raptors were subpar.

Without KD, the Warriors only have one big adjustment they can throw at Toronto and that's Green at the 5.

They'll probably use that a bit tonight and get an initial surge. Toronto will have to adjust back to that and if they can do it, I don't see what's left for GSW besides just spamming Curry/Klay as much as humanly possible.

This has been the Raptors M.O. all playoffs. They have the personnel to adjust after the opponent makes their move. They can match anything GSW does. Then it will just come down to execution.

Without KD, I don't see any big adjustment GSW can make to get consistent open looks. Like I said, they have one big curve to throw and Toronto will probably match it, and then it's just going to have to be Curry/Klay hitting tough shots.

I don't get why more people aren't mentioning using Bogut on Gasol. Everyone keeps saying how slow Bogut is now but Gasol isn't exactly a speed demon these days. Cousins is clearly rusty. Bogut has skills to give some resistance to Gasol.

Basically the size of Gasol and Siakam is the biggest issues Warriors have to solve.

He’s been attending games since Rudy Gay was on the team. So he’s been coming to games for the last 6-7 years. It’s just when the Raptors are getting sent home early no one cares about Drake.

Cmon Beadle, that was totally accurate that Pierce was the king of the north before LeBron and now Kawhi took it lol.

Does this really change anything for the raps tho? Isn't Gasol a nice match for dray?

Might increase GSW's ORTG which in turn stops transition attempts. And then in the half court, Gasol has always looked reluctant to post-up smaller guys.

But the counter would just be Ibaka and he'll murder Green on the offensive glass.

Chris Bosh said people had to dust off their Bosh jerseys lololol

Doesn't mean he will play more than 15 minutes tops.

[DaPessimist]

Curry or Klay will have to drop 50+ to win a game in Toronto.

Maybe not die hard but for sure a huge Raptor fan. It causes how famous he is that he makes friends with the top guys in the NBA and supports them and it comes off as bandwagoning. If they really didn't like him he wouldn't be chilling with all of them. He just supporting his boys. But the tattoos still are weird as ****.

[Froob]

Kinda feel like the Raps will win.

Raps by 15.
