Its not just the playoffs, its the Finals

For the first time in 8 years no Lebron

For the first time in 4 years no Cleveland

Kawhi back for his third trip - 1 and 1 so far

The Warriors Big Three back for their 5th straight - the most in 50 years since the Celtics

Is four out of five greater than 6-0 over 8 years?

Is this the last ride for the Warriors or are more in play?

Can they FINISH for a three peat which hasn't happened since His Airness did it twice

Can Steph challenge MJ with a great series and a win?

Will Boogie make it back in time to help out?

Will KD ever win a ring? (not this year)

Raptors in 7

    Kawhi is a bad bad man.

    But Dubs will win in 6, more likely 5 - Kawhi is a bad bad bad bad man so they may sneak out another win.

    And fuck Drake.

    1) Different eras and hard to compare ... I think the standard for the Warriors is Jordan’s 6 in 8 years

    2) The Warriors will still be a title contender going forward as long as they have Steph + Klay + Dray for the next 2-3 years ... how they add around will be critical as a bunch of $$$ is about to come off the books

    3) Assuming a 3 peat here, what the Warriors have done the last 5 years is the best 5 year stretch in modern hoop (post expansion era) history

    4) A win here and I think you really have to start being realistic at Steph moving into the Top 15-20 of all time ... a few more titles and I can see a really favorable argument for Steph over Magic ... MJ is a completely different level

    5) If Boogie is able to get up to speed and give a good 15-20 minutes a game primarily in the 2nd unit that will be huge for the Warriors

    6) If KD goes to the Knicks as is 81+% likely then no

    Steph is already in the top 10.

    This was the JR Smith game. So is it 5 games or do we have a series

    Probably have a series, but LIPO.

    A wise man once told me the series doesn't begin until the road team wins a game.

    Sounded like everything went right for the Dinos and wrong for the Warriors

    There’s only cause for concern for the Warriors if they don’t get the split

    I do not agree with this assessment at all. I thought Toronto was just better.

    It’s game one, long way to go. The series hasn’t even officially started yet. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s about as good as Golden States offense gets and I wouldn’t be surprised if they just aren’t a great defense with Igoudala gimpy and Durant out.

    Toronto absolutely mauled the Warriors with a very physical game and double teamed Curry. I expect the Ws to adjust to both and find lots of chances to get Klay wide open 3 point shots.

    But if Klay isn't hot then this could be a very tough match up for GS.

    Yeah the Toronto D is legit. 6 games in a row now. Once upon a time the Cavs shut GS down in a similar fashion

    The Warriors shot under 44% ... credit Toronto’s D but the Warriors will not only shoot better as the series progresses but will start finding some easier shots.

    Toronto shooting over 50% with all the role players going off is what Toronto needs yet that game was winnable for the Warriors in the 4th.

    Simply put the Warriors just need to clean up in transition, play some better D, and eliminate the lucky shots that Toronto got.

    Klay needs to be a little better offensively, but he wasn’t terrible numbers wise. The Warriors efficiency (109 points on 78 FG attempts isn’t terrible).

    KD is getting a ring if the Warriors lose according to the morning after over reaction.

    Best case now is the Warriors go up 3-1 then bring KD back to close it out and lose three straight

    Boogie will be a factor now that he has his game legs and Kerr will shorten the bench and Klay will come out of nowhere like he does once a year to save the day
