So TOR had no offensive rotation, got beat -11 on the boards, were 2-17 on 3's....and turned 8 GS TO's into 1 point.Ā  Ā On the road vs. the Warriors.

Most nights, that would mean a 20 pt deficit.Ā  How the Raptors are only 4 pts is mind-blowing.

On the flip side, having Klay back is huge, he and Curry & Looney are giving TOR more trouble on O, and Klay/Looney are definitely helping the D rotation too.Ā  Ā GS must feel like they should be up more, but on the other hand, Curry's not hit a single 3-pointer, and yet they're up.Ā Ā 

This is a great test for seeing how well the coaches adjust.Ā  Ā Obv. Kerr is one of the best, so the Q is whether Nurse can find a plan and rotation that works.Ā  Ibaka is amazingly enough the 3rd-4th best guy on the Raptors side right now.Ā  Ā  Green, Vanvleet and Gasol are ice-cold, and frankly so is Siakam.Ā  Worse, they are picking the ball up off the dribble early, and letting the Dubs D swarm themĀ 

If the Raps can't hit open looks, they aren't going to limit Klay/Curry like they did for 4 full Q's.Ā  Ā So how much they limit the damage (you know Curry will get his points, it's coming) and how much they can get into transition and hit open looks and create easier opps, will tell the tale.

Defense has been great but offense once again suspect.Ā 

Game will come down to the wire.Ā 

They need to get the ball to Klay. He's on his game tonight. Hopefully, Steph will do his thing where he wakes up at some point during the third.
