Siakm played amazing.  His elevated play will be huge going forward.

Lowry taking those charges.

Gasol D'd up nice.

All these things made for a win considering Kawhi and Lowry weren't their usual selves and Curry had a very off night.

Where was the third quarter onslaught from GS that we usually see?

Keep it up Toronto!!!

How bad was Lowry?  My God.  They need points from him because you can't count on that type of production from Gasol every night.  He disappears on the offensive end.  And you can't expect Siakm to hit 14 in a row either.  
Great win though.  It really stifling, even with Boogie back.  I was impressed.  

Forgot to mention that Igoudala won't be playing anymore looks like too.

Yes Lowry was non existent.

I also forgot to mention Van Fleet.  Since his baby being born this dude has been reborn.

I forgot Iggy hobbled off holding the hammy.  At his age, that's no good.  Now they lose their best defender.  Who's going to D up Leonard?  Suddenly GSW looks like they are in trouble.  Durant coming back in 3/4 obviously is the most critical factor, but there's no guarantee that he won't tweak again in the heat of battle, especially if he is forced to play Leonard consistently.  I don't think Klay has a chance to cover him all game.

That sucks for GSW if Igoudala is out too. That would be 3 key pieces either not playing are aren't %100(Cousins).

Raptors better win it all this year. No lock Loenard will be back and Gasol & Lowery are getting up ther in age.

Gasol is 34, Lowry 33.

Seen this movie before.  Hope the Raptors win it all but my money is on GS regrouping and winning four of the next five.

Winning might be a given for GS which may be a downfall.  Let's see.

Something I am glad the announcers are discussing is how much Curry moves around the court.  

That dude is everywhere and can hit from anywhere.

Klay moves a bunch too.

Toronto had great ball movement also when Kawhi hit a double/triple team wall.

Remember Rip Hamilton? Curry reminds me of how he runs around teammates without the ball. Except Curry runs out further and obviously can hit from anywhere.

I loved Hamilton, Jordan Team member.

Reggie Miller used to move a bunch too.

Only watched parts of the game, Fear Walking Dead was on, Toronto looked flat last night...

An 18-0 run will kill you every time.   Toronto was the better team basically the whole game.  That single run and then Iggy's 3 late.  Very disappointing.  Toronto let that get away.  Klay is hobbled now too.

Only saw part of the Klay injury.  I need to see more of what happened.

I was shocked it see Iggy out there, shocked.

At the first six minutes of the 3rd qrt, we saw the perfect basketball from GSW..

Typical 3rd quarter barrage from them.

Their ball movement is impeccable.

On this day Jordan hits all those 3's and shrugs.

I remember watching this game and was in awe at the time.

Klay tried to get a foul on a 3 and stuck his leg out and landed awkwardly; kinda did the split.  Then got real pissed-off at the refs for not calling a foul. Then they showed the replay and it doesn't look like anyone touched him. LOL

Finally watched it, he did get hip checked.

The officiating in this game is atrocious. On both sides

Man the missing of a Splash brother really brings the Warriors out of any contention.  They are just a normal NBA team without Klay.  I've always said that I think Klay is better than Curry.  They are a Batman and Robin duo though.  The whole rest of the team can interchange but those two need to be paired up.

The Raptors are playing well together.  I still think they are a step off from game 1 but are playing well.  Green and Lowery stepped up last night.  Kawhi played great.  

The whole starting lineup for Toronto was in double digits.

Much respect to Curry for trying to win the game by himself, diving for balls, stealing, dropping 47.  

I believe Toronto will pull this off and this will be Durant's exit.
