Nice push off

Intense crazy play here

normally i would say that if the game was 10 minutes longer the raptors would have it but they are inept rn

What the heelllllllll

It was 106 98 for like 4 minutes

Nonsense

damn iggy

Boooooooooom

How do they not foul there? Everyone on the court besides Steph was an average to poor FT shooter I think

Game was wild what a win

That 3rd quarter sank the Raptors, I don't think they are out yet.

Raps def could’ve won this one

basically the only thing that matters now is what warriors are available for game 3

Curry gets the craziest defenses of all time played on him it’s crazy

You have to really hate the warriors to not be able to appreciate that win

paul pierce is so bad at this. is "star power" really that important, like zach lowe can't be out there?

i mean zach lowe is not fun to watch but neither is pierce

this game is just testament to that old basketball adage, "its hard to win when you give up an 18-0 run"

classic john wooden quote

You could see that coming a mile away, when--after missing a 3-pointer that would have put Toronto up by 14--they ended the half only 5 up. Nothing's been easy during this run, so I suppose the Raptors could still win a long series, especially with GS hurting so much. But if you can't win a game where Curry doesn't score until the second quarter and seemingly every GS player of consequence except Green is hurting, that's bad.

Thoughts on the tech on curry at the end?

Was that called on Steph? I thought it was on Boogie for the scream.
Also, gotta admit, boogie was a difference maker in the game.

Boogie figured it out out of necessity. His passing was huge.

Yah they called that tech ok curry for throwin the ball up high (which he does all the time )

I dunno. I noticed a pretty lame delay-of-game warning against him where he was running back on defense and the ball bounced into his feet from behind. Maybe the ref that called the T thought he had already warned him about dead ball stuff?

i think the thing nobody was able to see coming regarding boogie is that for all his faults the way he likes to play offensively fits really well into the warriors' no durant system of heavy ball movement. w/ KD around he felt crudely welded onto the team but tonight he fit into the context of their offense in a way that i don't think anybody thought was possible

i feel like boogie showed in that game the potential to be like a joakim noah in his final few years w/ the bulls type offensive player. he prob never regains the athleticism to score like he did pre achilles injury but maybe you could run offense thru him in the high post in a way that utilizes his passing ability.

haha, you rang?

hmm yeah good thing no one really hates the warriors

seems like siakam's confidence still comes and goes in these big games. when he sees one or two go in he's a different player.

Siakam in a nutshell. If he misses a couple of early ones like he did last night, he disappears. He still rebounds and plays good defense, but he starts passing up one clear shot after another, and he stops driving like he did in game 1. He's not one to do what Curry did last night, get off to a slow start and then completely turn it around.

he was noticeably less aggressive from the very start

I think he missed an open three in the first couple of minutes, and that's when he gets gun-shy.

Curry gets the craziest defenses of all time played

Andre hhaaaaa

In Portland, before Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, Iguodala was asked about speculation that he would indeed make the Hall of Fame. “I don’t care,” he said. Really? Some players get emotional during those ceremonial speeches. “None of it matters,” he replied. “Does anyone remember any of those speeches other than Jordan’s?”

Then Iguodala broke it down. “See, here’s how it works. One day, you’re replaced. Then it’s some other motherfucker in there. And then there’s another motherfucker. And another after that. Nobody remembers anything. None of it matters!”

lol nice

i officially endorse this and all forms of nba nihilism

When asked what motivates him to keep going through the pain, Iguodala offered another reason for his perseverance: “I like Steph,” he said. “He’s a good dude, good guy to be around. That’s really the only reason why I like playing basketball. That’s the only reason why I play.”

When asked if he’s motivated by protecting Curry’s legacy, Iguodala replies, “Yeah. I’ve never seen it in a person, such a good person ever get some backlash or whatever from his peers because they’re so jealous of what he has, so, just kind of sticking it to them. Whatever it takes to protect his legacy, I’m all for it.”

get me anyone in my life that loves me this much

Broken collarbone for Looney out indefinitely jeeeeez

that's not good

Klay hammy strain “likely questionable” for g3 via shams

just gonna be limpin steph, limpin boogie, limpin klay, dray, and quinn cook playing 48 minutes by game 5

lol at "likely questionable"

Klay will play as long as he’s at least 20% ha

Shams just making educated guesses out there to be first up

losing looney is a big deal

He’s been their best center for the playoffs. Now we really need boogie to be at least as good as he was in the 2nd half yesterday. Also will lean on bogut more who was solid last night.
