I'm the President of the Chicago Chapter of the Kyle Lowry Fan Club, so pretty clear who I want to see win.

What are they saying is Durant's injury vs. what is obviously something more serious.

Siakam is a fucking stud. That guy will be a first teamer in a couple of years

Playoff Lowry in full effect that game, but the bigs carried Toronto that game. Siakam was a monster and GS had no answer for him in that game. Gasol was also huge and shows the biggest weakness in the GS roster. Raptors did a good job exploiting GS on the glass and used their bigs to their advantage.

Have to imagine GS comes back strong in game 2 with good adjustments and a different defensive scheme. They'll need Looney to grab some more rebounds. Curious if Iggy's injury is anything serious. If it is that's another door wide open for Toronto to take advantage of.

I want Toronto to win, but won't be mad if the Warriors win without KD

This is really all I have to add. I fucking hate Draymond. And am tired of GSW. I can't believe how good they still are without Durant and basically half a Boogie. This is going to be the last year they're all held together, so I'd like to seem them not get it. On the other hand though. fuck Drake.

Game 1 reminded me of 2011 Bulls/Heat Game 1 :cry:

Still remember the high after that, looked like Bulls would go all the way.

Kerr is really great at adjustments. He doesnt get the respect as much because of sheer talent on team. But, the guy is great at adjustments

As soon as Taj yammed on Wade I had a feeling that the Bulls were going to win that series. Whoops.

The Warriors are insane in the 3rd quarter like all the time.

When Durant comes back, it'll get ugly. Toronto's inability to score at a high level consistently is ultimately going to be the end of them. I underestimated their defensive ability against the Warriors, as they've looked quite good at containing Curry for a good chunk of time in both games. But this defensive effort of theirs will just wear them out, so their jumpers won't fall and then the Warriors go off offensively.
