    Klay kicked his leg out of his leg

    good win for GS. igoudalas body held up better than i anticipated and he made some big shots. cousins also made more of a contribution than expected.

    Real good game. Raptors' game plan, hang in Curry with two guys, worked for two quarters, but in the 3rd GS found their rhythm and rolled away.

    If Klay is out, it might get bit tricky, but Warriors will still take it

    Agreed. These guys are just too smart and even if you stop or slow one action they can come up with multiple counters. Particularly getting three to four lob dunks and a lob tip. Kerr’s brilliance and Toronto’s unreliable offense is why I picked GS to win even without Durant. The first game GS was a bit rusty but much to my regret I see them giving Toronto the gentleman’s sweep from here on out.

    Kawhi Leonard is playing pretty badly but it’s not his fault. He’s legs look dead and he runs like he’s moving in quick sand. They can’t win as it is but without him on his A game...gentlemen’s sweep.

    Serves him right for playing the game without honor. If he hadn’t tried to draw a foul by kicking his legs out sideways on his jumper he’d be fine.

    Meanwhile all these GS injuries are making my second prediction of a gentleman’s sweep look shaky.

    Poor defensive effort/gameplan allowing curry to get off like that when he was the only real threat

    That was probably the best game I've seen curry play

    And now this sets up a perfect chance for KD to come back and win three straight games, three straight finals MVP's

    LMAO ok there buddy. Like I said before.... Raptors take it 4-1. It seems they tanked game 2 on purpose to celebrate the championship on Monday in Toronto.

    Or KD comes back without Klay and actually has to feel what it’s like to get double teamed. Combine that with some rust, his timing being off and conditioning not up to par and GS still winds up losing the championship. In that scenario who do you think GS’s fans are going to blame?

    It was reported that KD will only leave GS if they win the championship. If that is true we should all be rooting for GS to win, but I just can’t do it.

    If GS does lose and KD stays I expect GS to comeback next season with a vengeance but even then it may not matter because due to their payroll they’ll still have a short rotation that will probably lead to late playoff injuries next season too.

    Kyle Lowry has taken a lot of shit over the years but he's definitely come to play.

    I really haven't gotten much of a chance to watch him play prior to the last couple of rounds, so I didn't realize how much dirty work he does for that team.

    He's got a definite chip on his shoulder. He'll never be THE GUY on a Championship team (neither will Demar DeRozan), but I'd consider him a rich man's Patrick Beverley after watching him play a bit the last couple weeks.

    He also does a lot of sneaky shit on the court to make up for his lack of talent that I sometimes feel conflicted about............but I can see why Toronto kept him around as long as they have.

    Them making that call this far ahead of time makes me think it’s a desperate trick and that he will play. Especially after I heard reports of him doing on court activities.

    I mean imagine if you’re Toronto and just after arriving to the game you hear KD and Klay are both going to play. Can you imagine how much more deflating that would be compared to knowing it days ahead of time? Not to mention they probably won’t have game planned for it.

    They're gonna bring Durant out for the second half. That will really get Toronto to shit themselves

    KD plays, looks like KD, then kicks his leg out of his leg AGAIN, and Cousins, who was about to be DNP'd, comes off the bench and looks like an all-star again

    Hopefully Durant didn't do any long term damage to his leg

    Oh my God, I figured out how the Dubs could win 3 in a row against Toronto without needing KD. Have Curry defend Siakam, and leave him open in the corner.

    Siakam could take 100 3's, and MISS all of them. The bizarro Ben Simmons of the Raptors
