told you folks, Raptors will be tough to beat

GSW in 5? get out of here

only way is, if Durant returns....and is healthy by game 2

we will see

And I thought the Celtics should've faced the Raptors in Round 2. Clearly they're both in a different league this year.

Masai looks like a genius

I thought they were not smart trading for Gasol

But he has been a big addition

If Durant can somehow step in to save the Warriors that might actually cement his legacy.

exactly

we will see if he returns

there are two ways he can run with this

1)  Return and "save" them

2) not return (think about how playing injured messed up guys like IT4) ... GSW loses to the Raptors... and still be able to cement his legacy - legitimize the two rings (reverse method)

Raptors looked strong tonight but they're supposed to win at home. There's a lot of basketball left.

Warriors 21-2 now Raptors just handed them their second game 1 loss ever.

Kawhi playing on one leg. Pretty obvious. Teammates picking him up. Just don’t know if they can sustain that.

Warriors sure missed Durant tonight.

Agreed. They also seemed out of synch with the long layoff.

And Durant "wins" also

I honestly dont think he will be back

To go from 0 to now this level of intensity is asking to aggravate that injury

At best he comes off the bench for spot up time

Cant Paul Pierce it

But Warriors are lacking interior wise vs Raps

Draymond Green cant bully around Tristant Thompson this time

Gasol, Ibaka, Siakam...presents a legit challenge
