I doubt they keep missing.

They are eviscerating the GS defense.


Eh they made alot of shots above their expected value in game 3. That was bound to cool down

This sounds crazy and stupid really but the Raptors can’t win if they’re not hitting shots.

Games 1 and 3 they were making the shots they’re currently missing. But that’s the nature of role players.

The point is the Warriors have not figured out how to contain their dribble penetration and the Raptors are hurting themselves by simply missing these easy shots.

If the Warriors can’t figure out how to stop their dribble penetration then they won’t win this series.

He takes what the defense gives him. Not talked about enough.

Except it wasn't. Not even close. He got arm and elbow on the way up.

Just because its clean on the top doesn't mean it was before that.

He fouled him twice. Get your eyes checked. Meanwhile Leonard had two cheap foul calls go his way and when he hacked Cousins there was no call. :crazy:

Kawhi Leonard can't defend Steph Curry. Draymond Green is a better, more versatile and more timely defender.

Went straight up and got all ball. If that's a foul I'm not sure how you play defense
