There's a good amount of the raps shitting the bed in the mix too.

Well apparently espn.com doens't know the difference between halftime and end of the third. 88-80 after 3 is a lot more reasonable.

sweet touch there by Bogut

People way overreacted to game 1. Cousins playing pretty good tonight helps too.

Fuck Iggy

Warriors in 5.

Swear Warriors got shafted on that out of bounds call with 51 seconds left too, seemed clear there was another touch by the ball spin even after Green touched it with his other hand an extra time.

When you are 8 points behind and get 287346 stops in the last 10 minutes and still can't catch up, losing is a pretty fair outcome.

I thought it would be 5 or 6. Raptors shot 37 percent and weren't exactly blown out, they can hang. They won't shoot that bad every night.

Meh. That 3rd quarter run, will they pull that off again? And that last 5 minutes or so, Toronto couldn't buy a bucket. I'm still 50/50 on this.

Considering that's kind of the Warriors' identity, yes. Huge third quarters with massive runs has been their story the entire season. Also, the Warriors weren't making any baskets in those final minutes either.

Everything hinges on the Klay injury. Don't think we can win without Klay and KD.

Normally I would agree with that statement, but an 18-0 run on top of bad shooting late in the 4th for them to pull that off? But like you said, that's their MO. And if it's any team that can go off like that, it's GS

Up until that opening 3rd, Toronto has looked way better than GS. I'm still going with Toronto to win in 7 IF GS does not get KD back. KD coming back, this is a wrapadap for GS.

The Warriors were running out a highschool gimmick defense in the last half of the 4th quarter in order to try and contain Toronto, it is going to be hard for them to be effective without Klay and Durant.

If both those guys are hurt and dont play the series is over for them.

Didn't the Blue Jays win one like 25 years ago? I know that's forever ago but remember I'm also a Bengals fan. Winning one sounds insurmountable.

1993. So that's pretty close. Maple Leafs have a bunch of championships but they're all like 50+ years ago. CFL count?
