Game 23: Golden State Warriors (15-8) 128 - Toronto Raptors 131 (19-4)

[A.I]

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

Yup, he could have shot better, but that doesn't equate to "Playoff Lowry", he actually shot very well last Playoffs.

[S.R.]

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.

I'd like to see even more Siakam on him, I guess Nurse is saving that look for the Finals

Everybody but Siakam and Kawhi aren't long enough - Green, Onunoby - Durant shoots over them almost whenever he wants. He still got enough separation on Kawhi almost whenever he wanted, but Kawhi's not quite there yet. He will be by June.

[slaw]

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

No. Ibaka made some key shots and Siakam had some big plays. Lowry hit a huge three. Again, as SR pointed out, rebounds and Durant. That's what made it a game.

[Gonzz]

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

Can we get the snake to come to Toronto next year?

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

4 for 14 and panicky crunch time play is not acceptable from your superstar, and highest paid player. And he's going up against Quinn Cook and they were hiding him on Iggy. Might as well have just put Delon out there.

[Raptor Jesus]

Last time Durant was hitting buzzer beating 3's from the parking lot against us was while he was in OKC, and had a game like this and beat us in OT.

We got one back.

Well worth the price of admission. Ask them folks paying 5x face.

[G__Deane]

Dog pee time. He's relieved ...

It's easy to look good when you have another superstar on your team. Curry is out but they still have Klay Thompson who's a legit superstar as well.

The Warriors on the other hand's main focus was to stop Kawhi.

Kawhi > Durant.

Of course he could have shot better, but thats not my point.

He'd immediately go from being hated to being the 2nd most popular player in Toronto lol

Yeah, we really need to develop OG more and have OG/Siakam be switchable on the deadliest opposition PnR. Both guys can guard PGs, right up to PFs and contest with length.

[Truth Teller]

Defense was very good. Nick Nurse was also very good.

Durant hit EVERYTHING. That's not just having Klay alongside, c'mon man. He was great tonight.
But we won and that's all that counts

[MixxAOR]

Lowry is not a scorer anymore. He plays classic pg role.

[Jclaw]

Man's remember the time a no name peanut kept our 3 point streak alive, all mans better remember this OT THRILLER

No need to speak ill of Derrick Martin
