Drake appears to want to be the Spike Lee of Toronto.

Drake - gives out back rubs, Spike - it’s your move now... know any Reiki??

Does anyone think the Dubs will steal one of the first two games on the road?

Yup, if not both...
As much as I’d like to see GS lose the series, I think they’ll win it all...
:-(

I doubt they’ll win both, but I do expect them to steal one on the road - at least I hope they do.

I've kinda stopped watching the playoffs but the drought ends tonight lol

Somebody forgot to tell the Raptors they’re playing the defending 2 time champs

Statements were made last night.

Agreed! Should be a good series.

LOL. the Raptors did look good last night.

The Dubs indeed played sluggish, as expected, due to their mini vacation, but if I’m the Raptors coaching staff, I’m still concerned because as great as their team played last night, they only won by 8 points.

Would they have won game 1 if the Dubs had not been rusty?

I don't know man...a win is a win lol. There is no excuse to look sluggish while playing any game in the NBA Finals. And for a veteran team such as the Warriors...there is definitely no excuse for it. I didn't expect them to look as poor as they looked. The Raptors defense was top notch last night.

I agree. I’m just saying that for game 1, the Dubs played poorly and was still in range to win it, and therefore, the Raptors should not be content with that victory.

I agree with that. No team in the finals should be content with anything until that trophy is handed to them. So I'm with you on that.

So... does one team go up 2-0 tonight, or does the other team even the series at 1 all??

It is expected for the home team to protect its floor and maintain home court advantage, however, I’m expecting the Dubs to take game two.

Me too. It's on like popcorn...LOL

 

[MasterDarque]

Yeah, it hopefully will be a competitive series all the way around, and go 6 or 7 games...
to the Raptors & Kawhi!!

 

[Just_Me_D]

The Dubs, as expected, evened the season at one a piece by taking game two on the Raptors’ home floor. Now I’m hoping they can hold serve on their own court and then return to Toronto to close it out. We’ll see.

 

[mumfoau]

I hope the Raps didn't blow it by giving up HCA last night. I'm pulling for Drake...I mean Toronto.

 

[Quis89]

Warriors did what the Warriors do last night. The Raptors did put up a decent fight though. But I don't think anyone is expecting them to pull it off. I wouldn't be surprised if the Warriors win the next 3 games.
