Playoff Lowry showed up, though.

And Lowry takes a beer bottle upside the head.

[GOLDBLUM]

Angry drunk time again, here Drake getting the beer bottles thrown at him.

for real?

Toronto fights the team AND the stripes again and wins.

The NBA has a real problem if you ask me. Its pretty gross how bad the calls are if you aren't a big US media center based team.

That Iggy vacation call was clutch tho

[Demographic Shift]

Great players..Great game...Great win....

Next up...The Cavs at the Q.

[GLF]

Overall he played well but he needs to make shots.

Yea this thing where he gets tight in clutch situations on offence needs to stop

This narrative is still so stupid. 10 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists and good defense, I'll take it.

It's really obvious but the NBA doesn't seem to care. In fact expects it or directs it

Great game!

17 ORBs for the Warriors was huge, that + Durant got them the tie. Rebounds come when JV can't stay on the floor and when you have to throw so much at GS's shooters, you end up undermanned under the basket. Got to recover & rebound after the shot goes up, especially the helpers.

Closing it out in OT was huge. This is still a team that gets jittery (except for Kawhi and Green), even up double digits in the 4th. They just look like they're waiting for the comeback before it even comes. If GS had won without Curry/Draymond/Cousins, in Toronto, after being down 18....I think that would really get in the Raps' head. A win does the opposite. Show yourself you can close them out.

Keep on building. Kawhi hasn't peaked yet, he can still be even better.

Science.

You can just see. Literally everyone got jittery and tight other than Kawhi and Danny. Masai is a gawd.

Toronto shot more free throws and the personal fouls were even. The only reason the games was close was that Durant went crazy and couldn't miss.

[G__Deane]

Kawhi > Durant.

Good night.

OK. The winning team gets to claim best player tonight lol
Durant was friggin' unconscious though ....

Needs to hit more shots and not be scared to shoot down the stretch. That's all im saying. Most of his damage was done earlier in the game. He did play good D throughout though

Calls weren't that bad today. Only blatantly obvious one they called wrong was the foul on Siakam where he got pushed by KD.

Me too and I quit 2 years ago.
