NBA season 2018/19

Funnily enough, IF the Warriors win today (big if), do they become the favourites?

They go back to Oracle where you'd back them to level up the series at 3-3 - this is of course in a world where Durant and Klay are fit and firing.

Then we set up a game 7 in Toronto, with the Warriors holding all the momentum...

It's an interesting hypothetical.

The mood in Toronto is very much that tonight's win is a given. I have two major thoughts on the game:

• Like the Patriots, Storm, Spurs and other dynasties, they don't lack belief in situations like this and there is absolutely another stanza left in this one.

• A good mate got box tickets to this via a supplier today. To get in the door in nosebleeds is US$2,500. Asshole.

It all boils down to what version of KD they get. Toronto has new found belief and they are going to need it. To me this is their big chance. They don't want to go back to Oakland and try to win, and then have to play a winner take all game 7 anywhere. If it gets to game 7 the Warriors will win in a canter

Good start to the game. KD moving well and hit his first 3.

Warriors defence pretty good, but their rebounding is struggling, so second chance opportunities have killed them.

Raptors have Spurs-like ball movement. Good to watch.

[ACT Crusader]

KD re-injures it and is goneski.

[ACT Crusader]

Steph and Klay about to go off I reckon. OKC game 6 performance coming up. You heard it here first.

[canefan]

Toronto don't appear to have the necessary intensity right now. Long way to go though but the close out game is the hardest game to win

[ACT Crusader]

Boogie has come off the bench with his sour angry face on (as per usual) and made an immediate impact.

[canefan]

Green pushing the cray cray button. Looked to have his off arm on Lowry's body while trying to go for the block

Raptors just trying to stay in touch. GSW keep getting out to 10-12 point leads, Raptors peg it back to as few as four and then it blows out again. 14 now.

How come they didn't get the two points @shark ? I'm watching on silent

[Hooroo]

[shark]

@Hooroo something about goal tending?

NBA has offensive interference when the ball is above the basket cylinder it can’t be touched.

Massive win by the Warriors.

Thought in those closing few minutes when they put Klay on Kawhi, it made a big difference.
