Raptors vs Warriors should be a great series. I am a Golden State fan. I fell in love with that team during their 2014 year. I could see they were changing the game of basketball forever. But they are now getting a little long in the tooth. It's unsual for a team to have the success they've had and all good things eventually come to an end. It might be Raptors who finally knock them off the perch, but admit I'll root for the Warriors. Either way, I hope the matchup creates an NBA classic.
The Warriors need a portable hospital to keep up with all their medical issues. Cousins somehow got back after tearing a quad 6 weeks ago. Durant is out. Curry was sick last night. Thompson pulled a hamstring. Iquadala played on one leg. Looney was sent to the M.A.S.H. unit after an early injury last night. It is no wonder that getting to the NBA finals 5 years in a row is so unusual. The years are taking a toll on these guys.
After games I float around youtube watching interviews and clips. I found one which showed Durant and Thompson talking trash in a hallway with Drake. Durant was calling him Aubrey, no doubt to get under his skin. Drake's real name is Aubrey Drake Graham.
Toronto is healthy and skilled. This will be a slugfest until the end.
Yeah, what was up with Curry? He could barely drag his ass up and down the court in the first half, then after halftime he was both extremely effective and merry as a grig.
If that's not grounds for a drug test, I don't know what is.
