The Warriors need a 3rd guy to step up and be a factor going to the rim. Iguodala could make himself the difference in this series if he can slash.

Yes, he would have to sit Game 7, so basically done for the season (if he only gets 1 T then I don't think he'd be thrown out of this game though, the suspension would be for the next game unless it's rescinded). His teammates need to keep him as far away from Marc Davis as humanly possible tonight. Even aside from a theoretical Game 7 consequence, the Warriors can't afford to be giving free points away tonight. No stupid mistakes like technicals, unforced turnovers, delay of games, etc. They need everything to go right and have no margin for error.

Fortunately for him the Raps play it pretty straight up, no guys designated as an irritant to coax him into one. Lowry will pick his spots but nothing like a front court player who can constantly chip with him like say a Harrell or Tucker. I expect Iggy to be designated as the Draymond Chaperone from here on out lol.

They didn't seem to care about the last regular season game. Doubt they care and they are happy to move out of that dump.

Thanks ABC for giving us a 5 min commercial break followed by Beadle babbling for 10 secs followed by another 5 mins of commercials.

I fully expect GS to win tonight unless Green loses his cool and picks up the tech, effectively being ineligible to play in G7.

The Warriors just have all the motivation for tonight:

1) KD being out is fresh.
2) Last game at Oracle, no matter what.
3) Won last game and the momentum’s on their side.

I think the Raps CAN win, but my mind is saying GS is probably winning this... hoping I’m wrong...

No one can say this series hasn't had drama.
Although it feels with all the injuries, most of the drama is with the Warriors.
The Raps just seem to go to work each day.
Let's have a good game and hope for no further injuries.

If your Nurse what do you about about the Klay Thompson problem?

He’s been way too hot and comfortable. There needs to be an adjustment to make life harder for him at the get go. When he gets hot early he’s very tough to contain

So do fans have to sit through two national anthems for all Raptors games?

Would it make sense to have Kawhi defending Klay? Exhaust him and make it a team effort to stop Curry
