Siakam hit him on the arm. Considering the calls made today, he has every right to be mad. There's no consistency.

Jesus man. Barely anything. Considering what he gets away with, like taking Siakam to the ground, he needs to quit crying all the time.

Still anyone's game, but TOR's O rotation has improved dramatically - while their open look shooting is finally starting to actually work for anyone besides Kawhi.  Ibaka has been unbelievable as the paint defender.   

On the flip side, pretty clear Cousins was all adrenaline on Game 2, he's not right again.  But Klay & Curry are still lethal.

Honestly, it's going to come down to better D, and Kawhi/supporting cast vs. Curry/Klay/Dray.  Can TOR keep up their stifling D pace?   Man, that's a tough order, but their resiiliency in hanging around in the 1H, well, they've got at least 1 more big GS run to weather.  

What was a stinker of a 1H is much better this 3Q, and should at least set up for huge drama in the 4Q.   Can't wait.

The real craziness is how completely opposite the calls are tonight - game 3 they called touch fouls, tonight they are letting obvious fouls go.   Green/Siakam got hacked bigtime on obvious calls, same with Green there, and yet zero calls.    It's not brutally tilted toward GS, just the normal home-team advantage you have to expect.  So it's up to both sides to adjust.

That siakam call was literally the first call Toronto got. U are a joke

LOLOLOLOLOL. Right. Just like you thinking Toronto hasn't benefited at all this playoffs from the refs. Kawhi just has to fling his head back and he gets a whistle every time. Clown.

TOR is 7-0 when Ibaka scores 10+ points.  It's just such an unexpected source of O, he's there for his D and the occasional easy bucket inside, he's just not that lethal inside.  

It's hard to believe TOR would be the team making a big 3Q run after watching that 1H.  Nurse's adjustment to a zone plus 1 (on Curry, duh) really has baffled the Dubs O late this 4Q.   Nurse going with 2 bigs has paid off in a HUGE way - which is totally against the book.

I have zero doubt GS has at least 1, if not 2 big runs coming.  The Q is whether TOR can keep up their improved rotation on O, and getting more open looks this 3Q.

I think hr is Canadian and you can tell. He has said Toronto got the benefit of the call when they did. Unnecessarily imo
