Change the channel if you dont like watching their style of bball but to say they almost killed the NBA is ridiculous... They never created a superteam and they win the right way and always compete every year.
Nobody is surprised the smiff superfan enjoys spurs style basketball. [Reply]

That was a game the raps through away and couldn't afford to lose. Couldn't sustain the warriors patented 3rd quarter run and couldn't take advantage of the injuries.
And Kawhi has got to play better even though I think hes playing through injury right now. [Reply]
I think the Raps could’ve had this one IF they executed better. I don’t blame the defense or the 18-0 run. No. They had chances to get back in it and had lots of good looks but didn’t execute. You can’t miss open looks against GS and expect to win. Defense could only do so much. And also they turned the ball over started playing sloppy and GS capitalized.
I think this was a mental thingy. As soon GS went on that run, Raps looked like they shit their pants. Oh well. Next time they learn. You can’t play passive against this team, they have to take care of the ball and execute or else game over. [Reply]
Refs kept the Warriors in the game in the first half with some awful calls when the Warriors' offense was stalled, but the Warriors themselves stepped it up impressively in the 3rd quarter and that proved to be enough of a cushion for them.
Draymond Green was excellent tonight and shut Siakam down completely. Cousins also was very impactful, which is a potentially huge development in this series. They may be down one all-star in Durant, but they just added another one right back.
Will have to win in Oakland now to win the series and that won't be easy the way these games are being reffed (they aren't letting the Raptors get away with anywhere near the same amount of contact they were getting away with against Milwaukee). [Reply]

I doubt we'll see Looney as much any longer after what Cousins showed tonight. Cousins is a better defender/playmaker and he can actually shoot a bit from the outside which takes Gasol out of the paint.
I'm also beginning to think Durant isn't going to play in this series at all. He's not walking/moving around like somebody who is close to playing basketball at a high level. [Reply]

So in other words,
Its the Raptors vs Warriors and the NBA. May as well add two goliaths in there? Damn thats a tall order. [Reply]
Like the Blazers, missing open threes and turnovers allow GS to get in transition in 3rd quarter. Lowry and Pascal gotta step up game 3. FVV was great again tonight. Kawhi doing his best to will it but he's hampered. Hopefully they get 1 of 2. [Reply]
