Holy Moly the Crowd is BANANAS. Klay on Lowry, Kawhi on Curry! Hopefully this is a great series.

The crowd actually works to the Warriors favor in a way because of how long that cores been together they dont need as much vocal communication.

  Communication doesn’t matter. They have signals for that. The crowd only plays a roll in momentum

With no Durant, Siakam and Gasol is a HUGE mismatch.

Refs are calling everything right now but despite that they have done a great job of being consistent on both ends.

Let’s go raptors. Glad gasol is being a factor, lots of talk radio questioning if he would be benched due to not being great at guarding the 3 point line in pick and rolls. But the purist/old man in me enjoys seeing the game still utilizing traditional bigs and not becoming all guards entirely

GSW is gonna have to stop switching on the 1-5 pick and roll because Toronto is attacking Curry on every possession and putting him in the post. Cant be having Gasol and Siakam posting him up like that and once you help it gives Toronto an open shot, which they seem to make against the Warriors. Curry’s gotta fight through those screens.
Leonard scores 8 and your up by 10. Keep it up.

Siakam found his game that’s for sure.

Despite how bad the raptors have outplayed them, the fact that this is still close has to be concerning for them. They absolutely have to get this game if they’re going to have a chance in this series.

  This is a must win for Toronto to have a chance at winning this series. A MUST win.

  Very concerning. Warriors can erase a 12 point lead in 2 minutes no problem. They still havent even begun playing dirty.

It’s going to be very hard for cousins to be a factor in this series. It’s really admirable that he’s trying and I feel for him, but he’s just too out of sync right now and the raptors are abusing him on defense.

Leonard wasn’t himself tonight, but luckily for Toronto Gasol and Siakam stepped up offensively. VanVleet played some great defense on Curry when he was in the game. GS looked timid on offense. This game is Exhibit A for why Durant is so important to this team.

  Exhibit A: Durant comes back and the warriors get swept.

Draymond Green says hes the best defensive player ever then he lets his man go 14-17 for 32 points. He cant gaurd Siakam. Next hes gonna be saying Siakams the best offensive player ever.

Even before the game, I was thinking the Green & Looney matchup vs Siakam and Ibaka would be a key

  Watch game 2. Boguts gonna start and him and Green are gonna play dirty and annoying basketball. They are gonna try to counter by getting into their heads and I personally dont think its gonna work.

I’m supporting Toronto but I’m concerned after that. Warriors played poorly, Curry had 30+, Draymond a triple double and after all that emotion and support, it took one of the biggest playoff games from each of Gasol and Siakam and it was just an 8 point win at home.
A win is a win, but Game 2 is huge. If the Warriors win it, I’m thinking they’ll take the rest and this will only go 5.

  That it took good performances from role players is actually kind of encouraging. My best guess for a Raptors victory was Kawhi playing out of his mind, but he actually played relatively poorly and they still won by 8.
