WHO YOU PICKING????????

TORONTO?

WARRIORS??

The sensible part of me says Warriors in 7, but the dreamer in me says Raptors in 7

RAPTORS IN 7

Who do you pick?

Rosalie,

I'll go with Warriors in 5.

Regards

It's a split decision in my household.

I am taking GSW in 6 and my wife is taking Toronto in 5....geez

Raptors

I'll go with the team that gets the most total points out of their 3 stars.

Cow, Ros, and Dboss's wife are the wise ones here.

Durant would have made a big difference, monster games from Siakim and Gasol, they won with an average version of Kawhi. I want to see their big line up Lowry Leonard Siakim Ibaka Gasol, the lineup that wrecked the Bucks.

Warriors. 6 or 7

Bruins in 6.

I’m thinking 7, the Blues played really well in Boston for game 2.

Get ready for the gentleman's sweep. GSW in 5. TOR is playing out of their brain and in LaLaLand. Time to wake up and smell the coffee!

Hi,
GSW in 7. I'm not sure that Tor can sustain that high level that they performed at yesterday for more than a game or two.

P.S. Also, I just read that KD should be back in game 3 or 4.
Also, Go Bruins! We want the Cup!

Thanks for making things more to the point.

Perhaps by game 2 all the rust will be kicked off of the Warriors.

The Raptors played excellent defense and the pace of the game was slow given FGA by both teams, (78 for GS) and (77) for Raptors. I also thought that GS was particularly sloppy with the ball. Cousins was a non-factor in 8 minutes of play but GS bench did play well.

Not taking anything away from Toronto but GSW can play a lot better and if they can get Durant back by at least game 3, they should be in good shape. I do think that game 2 is a game they really need to go out and win or they would be faced with taking 4-5.

There is a kid from France in the draft that has a physical profile quite similar to Siakam. I would take him at #14 if he was available. (Sekou Doumbouya)

We often mention the difficulty in finding quality prospects late in the draft. Siakam was a late first round pick [2016: Rd 1, Pk 27 (TOR)]

Doumbouya is the same height and weight as Siakum and has NBA level defensive potential. Like Siakam he runs the floor well and is a slasher and is developing his range.

I posted about him a while back.

Tres bien. J'aime bien ce garcon francais.

Durant is out again Sunday. Thompson has to step it up, Steph and Iggy can’t do it all.

I still have to see GSW play the defense they are noted for. If not, they are going to lose. They have the better team, I believe, but Toronto is on a mission. I still think we may be shocked in the 7th game when all of Canada goes crazy when they win.

Iggy is gimpy, might not play...???

Raptors starting front line scored 75 points.

For GS Green had a triple double 10-10-10

Rosalie Iggy only scored 6 points but Thompson had 21.

Without KD GS does not have enough fire power in their front court to match what the Raptors can put up.

I don’t think so....

Warriors big 3 of Durant, Curry and Thompson averaged 74.8 points per game - huge drop off when Durant's 26.0 is missing from the lineup.

It seemed like when GSW started tp make a run, Thompson’s shot was off. As far as Iggy is concerned, he may only have had 6 pts but he is a threat that they have to worry about. But it is Durant who sits at the top of the list. He has to come back, or in my honest opinion, this series is in Toronto’s hands. They are playing spectacular ball. Over their heads a bit? Maybe, but that is what happens sometimes in championship runs. It isn’t always the “best” lineup that wins, but the one who plays harder, stays focused and is driven. That seems to me to be Toronto

I think Toronto's intensity is a carryover from the Bucks series.

GS is hurt by the long layoff, being on the road and missing KD.

I'm beginning to think GSW may be the best team I've seen in quite a while at dealing with the cards they are dealt.

We had an infinitely more talented team and could never get everyone on the same page no matter who was on the floor. This is a real pleasure to watch. We have a lot of work to do.

Both these teams deserve to be here by far.

Okay, so now the question will be asked , ARE THE WARRORS A BETTER TEAM WITHOUT KD??

After watching this game tonight, my answer is a definite NO. ,

We will be asking this same question, ARE THE CELICS BETTER OFF WITHOUT KYRIE?? My answer is again, Maybe.

Golden State really took it on the chin tonight, everyone was looking over their shoulder to see the Knight in Shining armour would com flying in.
