Warriors got who they needed to win their 4th Title, Toronto Raptors, eventhough Giannis and Curry are best of buds.

Warriors will win in 4,5 or 6 games, and Cousins will play instead of Durant.

Accidentally voted Raptors in 4 because I voted without concentrating as I am wont to do. Certainly they won't win this thing during the first California trip, but they are a force to be reckoned with.

This game however confirms that Steph Curry is such a thoroughly uninteresting basketball player who has made the game boring not due to any spectacular talent but because he gets every call 25 feet from the basket. We badly need the Raptors to undo the damage he has done to the game.

Raptors! Even with Leonard not having the best of games, Peter Siakam comes through.

I’m trying hard to actually enjoy the fact the Raptors are up and at least pretend that this is a competitive series before the inevitable Warriors takeover happens and I’m destined with the reality that the NBA isn’t a competitive league.

No time to panic yet, Warriors have lost back to back making Gm 4 a must win. Refs will give Warriors benefit of calls and free throws.

Warriors resorting to having the Dirty Refs giving Stephen Curry 15 more free throws than he earned. Sad! Bad for game! Meanwhile, Kyle Lowry plays the game very legal and very cool. That's the only diving I want to see!

Kobe and Jordan also received the same calls, but run will end eventually.

I stand with my earlier prediction of Raps in 7.

Thank you Kawhi Leonard for putting to the Raptors to a point where they are 1 win away from ending the Warriors dynasty. Lakers shall remain the most recent NBA team to threepeat.

Really Skip:

The Blazers had arguably their 2nd best player Nurk out with injury AND Lillard separated his Ribs in game 2 and played with an injury for the rest of the series. They struggled against Portland in 3/4 games too, it was just that thanks to having a hobbled Lillard he was unable to take over games and they also were playing without Nurk . Even if you had a healthy Lillard the series probably goes to 6 as he probably finishes off at least two of the games were Blazers took a 17+ points lead in (Games 2 and 4) and with Nurk the Warriors may not have won the series.

Skip really underestimates the impact of what having one of your 3 best players being out with injury, and your best player playing hobbled can do. This time they are playing a team that is healthy so not having KD hurts them a lot.

Curry and Klay Thompson are the celebrities of this team.  KD is the fall guy and will be blamed for this debacle.  The Warriors were expected to beat Raptors,  but lose to Bucks

At this point, I am not sure KD can save the Warriors. Even if he's back tonight, it does not sound like he will be that impactful if you are to believe the reports coming out of practice.

At some point in his career, long ago, Skip discovered that it was far easier and lucrative to just spew an unending series of hot takes than to do actual work.

One basket from losing the finals, and they manage to hold it. On to Game 6.
