Looney is really the only big you can put on Siakam. They put Bell in thinking they could run Gasol off the court, but obviously that didn't work. Looney could also switch out on Kawhi if need be.

Danny Green is just a very high IQ ball player. His ability to find the open spot to make himself open for others is huge. Lot of these dudes just stand around and watch for the catch and shoot opp. Not everybody has Lebron’s size/vision/strength to make difficult passes. Not sure if Nurse is much better than Casey but the make up of this team is simply better than years past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49er pride Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Does Lowry fall on every layup attempt? I haven't seen someone hit the ground that much since Fisher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Game 4 ETA fits with a grade 2 calf strain. That's on the short side of 4 weeks, but let's face it, with elite athletes, barring setbacks, the short side can happen. I do wonder if there's a more significant injury and this is just a cat and mouse game, though. Either way, though, TOR has to plan for KD potentially entering the fray - it makes Game 2 a must-win for them (obv it's huge for GS, but as the saying goes, you're not in real trouble until you lose a home game...or it's game 7 lol).

With or without KD I viewed games 1 and 2 as must wins. Going to Golden state with a split series would be too hard to come back from. I think the Raptors could steal one in Golden State, but I would want to come back to Toronto with 3 wins. Honestly even as a Raptors fan it's a shame KD is hurt. I'd rather see them both at full strength 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you get a ring with KD out for most of the series? Tough luck for the Dubs, but no fault of the Raptors and part of winning is staying healthy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 During the Warriors first title run, they benefited a crap ton from injuries. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were out during the Finals. I think even Mike Conley and Tony Allen missed games and that series was pretty close, with the Grizzlies even leading after the first three games were played. They win the title this year. In 2017, they cheap shot Kawhi Leonard with Tony Parker already being out and missing the series. They go on to easily win this series and go to the Finals where they completed the most epic choke job ever and cry to their savior Kevin Durant. Last year, they're down to the Rockets 3-2 and Chris Paul gets injured. They win this series, when there's a decent amount of people who think they would have lost had Paul not gotten hurt. And I mean I have to say it, but LeBron was hurt last Finals as well. Reports are he played the last 3 games with a broken hand. I'm not holding much weight to this one, but it still happened. Now the Warriors are facing the injury bug. It's their turn to suffer after benefiting SO MUCH over the years from other opposing key players being hurt. Don't feel bad about this as a Raptors fan. Enjoy the moment - because if Kevin Durant actually comes back (as is now being reported) and he can be his effective self, the Warriors will win this thing.

I am a casual Raptors fan. If it was the Packers, I'd rather get a walkover in the superbowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
