Too much time off, too much Pascal Siakam and not enough Kevin Durant

Raptors win game 1

118-109

We have a series here

I need a neck massage!

Siakam has 32.wow

 

[Kcin]

OK, as a Torontonian- I'm embarrassed by the Drake thing. However, these Raptors are really making it exciting.

For a while there I really thought you did need it.

My son said he saw a clip wherein the Raptors fans were boo'ing Paul Pierce - for picking them to win the title. Correction, they were chanting 'Paul Pierce Sucks'.

as someone who was born in Toronto but a Warriors fan I have to admit that last night's game was fabulous. They outplayed and outclassed the Warriors.

as I said, too much rest, too much Pascal Siakam, some VanVleet and not enough KD

Interesting that they were able to contain Kawhi. It was the rest of the Raptors who stepped up

Have you now declared officially for the Warriors and given up on the Lakers? Looks like it.

 

[Steve Williams]

No I never give up on the Lakers. I used to live in the Bay Area and adopted the Warriors as I went to a lot of their games

June 30 however will be the start of summer deal signings and there are a lot of speculation as to who will be jumping from one team to another.

The Clippers could be the big surprise this year amongst rumors of big stars possibly joining the Clipps

Of course the Lakers will have to wait for LeBron and his cronies to decide who they want to play on the team. I see no relief in the Lakers dysfunction and ow with the Magic/Pelinka/Jeannie fiasco I see no resolution

 

[Steve Williams]

I thought Cousins was only so so last night but as I said they all looked rusty from 10 days off

But here finally is the long awaited news.I hope I was wrong


Report: Durant expected to return midway through Finals

But if the Warriors were rusty after 10 days off one can only speculate as to KD's stamina but we can hope

The Finals Stat, Game 1: Siakam shoots Raptors to victory
Golden State forced the ball out of Kawhi Leonard's hands, and Pascal Siakam stepped up

IMO, the Warriors have to toughen up their defense, particularly on how to limit Siakam and Van Vleet, who combined for 47 points. Had they 2 scored only 37, Warriors would have won by 1. But Siakam will be hard to stop if he runs amuck as he is very mobile inside and outside. I wonder who his trainer is, gotta tell Ainge about him. Once the hot shooting of the Raptors dies down, the Warriors will have an easier time. And KD, possibly coming in like Willis Reed on Game 3 assuming they are down 0-2, will be proving his worth, practice or no practice.

 

[Steve Williams]

Siakam shot 82.4%

Siakam shot 82.4%

Incredible. I mean, do they even have a basketball league in Cameroon? We here have a pro league since 1975 but nobody ever went to the NBA.

I saw that on the local news. Doc didn’t care. He was placing a one time ad for $50 K

 

[WLVCA]

Doc is completely innocent!

And this is really bizarre, from Adam Silver, the Commissioner, to boot.

The Lakers Nation will never be the same nor will the ship be righted as long as the King remains a Laker.

Can't wait to see all of the young team traded at the end of June so that the King can recruit people who will play with him
