I can agree with that.

Boogie was pure poetic justice. Dubs don't win this without him.

exitmusicblue · 06-02-2019, 09:59 PM

Klay's hamstring is just tight. Icing it, no limp greeting the troops after.

I think they will to. But after tonight there is question marks about Steph, Klay, KD, Looney, Iggy (even with a good game) I guess Cousins is healthy. I think the warriors pull it out but I wouldn't put any of my money on it as it stands now. Think it will be a dogfight unless all of the warriors players are somehow healthy and ready going forward.

They are also banking on Draymond not losing his #@#@#@#@ and continuing to be a great player if they dont get completely healthy

I don't think Kawhi's been 100 percent either game.

Either way each team is going to need the role players to step up. Tonight Cook hit the biggest shots when Toronto was making their run and zapped their momentum.

NinjaJohnny · 06-02-2019, 10:02 PM

The third quarter cost Raps here. I'm surprised Nurse didn't go with FVV earlier, it seemed they started to play better once he came in. He's surprisingly been really effective so far.

Kerr made a lot of good adjustments, going bigger seemed to help.

It's interesting because you hear a lot of people complain about the Warriors being fortunate vs injured players on other teams a lot. Well, the shoe is on the other foot now. Going to be impressive if GS can cobble together 3 more wins.

exitmusicblue · 06-02-2019, 10:03 PM

Cook was clutch, indeed. Some huge treys. Kerr does a really good job figuring out who's got it off the bench any given game.

He looked to be limping imo. We will find out tomorrow. Cousins looks like he will get 30 minutes going forward. Iggy seems better. Looney was a bruise, I would think a couple days rest and he might be fine. Steph may have just been dehydrated. Everybody has something, but nobody is going to feel sorry for them. Klay is the big one. If both he and Durant are out, they won't win.

exitmusicblue · 06-02-2019, 10:05 PM

Also, having Boogie instead of Loney in there provides another playmaker for the Dubs. Having Klay and Boogie together gives that rotation sufficient firepower and a bit more creativity.

Loney was in a lot more pain from the looks of it. Kerr just mentioned Klay passed it off as minor. He was jogging it out, the later gait was the huge arse ice pack.

Seen this before from him; 1000% expect him to play Game 3.

That. Is. Insane.

Makes it more frustrating that Toronto never capitalized on that until it was too late

Lets Go Raps!

It ain’t a series till the road team wins at home. Let’s #@#@#@#@ go. Congrats Warriors fans.

There are a lot of us here. Though for some reason idiots like to label us bandwagon fans. What ever lol

Great team win tonight. Boogie stepped up big time. I fully expected to see this series at 3-1 Warriors when they head back to Toronto.

jbettis32 · 06-02-2019, 10:32 PM

Lowry is still a non-existence in the Finals; FVV is a pure spot up shooter, and too harsh to have him doing too much thing. Why don't try Lin? He is at least an above average ball handler to release the pressure from FVV to have his own shots.

Such pettiness..

But since you brought it up, I now wonder the same thing about some Raptors fans:

Cousins balled out tonight. Almost a triple double. Dude had a torn quad a month ago. Amazing

This loss I really think comes back to Gasol, he really was worthless out there on offense. It looked like he didn't want to take a shot which let the raptors swarm the other shooters. Nurse has to get Gasol more involved in the offense, the warriors can't handle it when he is

Pathora · 06-02-2019, 11:34 PM

Warriors showing why they're the champs, huge shot by Iggy.

Well, I was going through some old photo albums at my parent's house last weekend and found a photo of my dad and I at a game in 1981...

Well, that could have had something to do with the fact that the Warriors were playing some really tough D....

Raps were only down by 4 with plenty of time left when Cook made back to back threes. I think that's what happened..lol Raps couldnt recover from it.

That's exactly what it was. As soon as he hit that second three you could hear the life of the entire stadium being instantly sucked out. Raps were looking primed to change that game all the way around.

mfw13 · 06-03-2019, 12:06 AM

I think this was a game where the Warriors' experience and composure really made a difference. Nothing rattled them....not being without KD.....not Curry being held without a FG until late in the 2nd quarter....not the team shooting under 30% until late in the second quarter....not Looney getting injured....not Klay getting injured...nothing rattled them.

Whereas aside from Kawhi and Van Vleet, nobody on Toronto had a good game.
