I know the Warriors are playing this game short-handed, but you gotta wonder if the advantage Toronto has at center Gasol/Ibaka vs Cousins/Bogut is going to be an issue for the rest of the series. Ibaka is doing whatever he wants at both ends of the floor.

Raptors might blow this

Did Kawhi beat the travel there?

He also got hacked by McKinie so its all wash.

Perfect scenario for Durant to come to the rescue

Or be rusty and/or re-injure himself. They’ll need him though.

This was an absolute must win for Toronto. No KD, no Klay, no Looney, they needed this game. If the Dubs got this one it might have been crushing for their chances.

Game on for Game 4.

Raptors are winning this series. Calling it.

It's almost as if one very good player isn't enough. Say what you want about Lowry, that man is a really good defender and he can score and assist. Siakam had another good night unlike game 2, that's good player #3. Gasol even as old as he is is still a solid #4/#5th option. Then Iblocka is really good player #4 or 5th option.

Curry and Draymond is all the warriors had beside their defender in Iggy. Curry destroyed out there and his team still had their butts handed to them. While the game was "close" throughout, it was never really in doubt because Raps answered every time and MOST of the answers didn't come from KL!

So much for the ‘warriors should sweep toronto’ with or without Durant.  Yes Thompson was out, but either way, if the Raptors can eek out a win Friday they are looking at a 3-1 lead.

Remarkable for Curry to score 47 points while being double and triple teamed without another scoring threat.

I thought signing Cousins will make Warriors unstoppable

Well he did take 31 shots and 14 3 point shots.  I don’t see any nba team completely shutting down Curry.

But show of hands, how many thought Toronto would be up 2-1?

I did at the outset, but I had Toronto winning their 2 home games and losing in Oakland. Obviously couldn't predict Klay and Looney going down, but a win is a win. Only need 2 more!
