    Looney, Klay in... Durant out. No surprises.  Toronto needs a win.  They can close it out and possibly never have to see KD.
    Have  to wonder how well those 2 can play.

    Why does Curry keep on hesitating on his 3s? Happened 4 times now. Really messing him up. Like a weird pause in motion

    Wow, wow, wow. 

    The Warriors are flustered, they are actually flustered.

    The Raptors are playing sound basketball.  

    Lowry isn't scoring but he's playing good ball.  Ibaka played well, Siakm, Green, Vanfleet.  All sound.

    Kawhi is amazing.

    Wow, just wow.
  • mrussel1mrussel1 Posts: 29,814
    This was their best game of the series. Great defense and sound offense.

    Toronto will be rocking all weekend into Monday...may just as well declare a holiday on Monday, productivity will not be happening on Monday.

    They are just a jump shooting team right now with no inside threat.  I love seeing the frustration.

    I think it ends on Monday.  No way I thought Toronto would win 2 in GS.  Enjoy Monday and into the wee hours of Tuesday.

    Why they don't pound inside w Green is beyond me.  He's strong enough to post up against most NBA players.

    It's just not his game.  Remember they used Bogut and others in the past to serve that role.  He thinks he's Magic.

    Ive never thought of Draymond as a post player tho.  Gasol forces you to be back-to-the-basket post guy even if you try.  Green doesn't have the skills

    He has that big body and godd get the ball then dish it out.  Again, I don't know why they don't use him for this.

    I understand it's not his forte but he should be able to post up and pass it back.  It'd take Gasol off the double team.

    Hey I'm with you that he should do that, but the reality is that we never see him in the post like a true big man.  I don't see him starting in game 5.

    A report has surfaced that Leonard has purchased a 12 million dollar home in Toronto.  He has denied making such a purchase...who knows?

    If the Raptors win the title he's gone. It matters none if the city offers him free restaurant dining for him and his family for life, lol.

    I've mentioned this before about Toronto, they are a HUGE basketball city and love, love, love their players and show them as much.

    You think DeRozan wanted to leave?  Hell no.

    I think Kawhi stays for a while.

    Is lying, mot likely...he may have put an offer on a home...still may not have been accepted yet.  Best to 1st close out GS, then worry about homes...
