Raptors have been lucky so far, warriors have missed a few.

Going to be a long night. They are good.

Crazy good play on both sides. How can they keep up that intensity?

The whole raptor team are playing well. All 8 or so. There is no other way to play the warriors.

Pascal Siakim doing great.

1. Kawhi Leonard

Aztec for life! 💗

2. Poor guy got a credit card at a Canadian department store last week and the rumour

that he will stay in toronto went viral. Boy can he play so many roles. Or maybe it was a points card. Everyone is on the case.

3. What does Aztec for life mean? Did you mean raptor for life?

4. San Diego State University

Alum.

5. Ah! So he is used to hot weather. Another clue.

[SHRED]

6. He was awesome here at SDSU

Now arguably the best two-way player on the planet.

7. Yes. I'm a playoff bunny so I've only started watching him but I played ball in highschool and

Kawhi Leonard does everything well. He runs around like the one dog in a dog park all the others are chasing, weaving in and out and in all directions: offense and defence.

9. This season he may be the best player in the game

8. Raptors 10 point lead

I watched a lot of Raptors games on NBA League Pass last 2 seasons. They are really fun to watch.

10. I'm a softy so it is almost too much excitement.

11. I confess myself impressed

The Raptors didn't panic, and kept their defensive composure, and deserved to win Game 1. Well done, Toronto. Do it three more times and the championship is yours. If you crack at all, though, the Warriors are just the team to take advantage of it.

[applegrove]

12. Yes. The two Raptors who are considered their best didn't have hugely high scores.

The other Raptors stepped up though. They were play like the Warriers usually do with whole ****load of threats.

13. Kyle Lowry is a very effective player even when he is not scoring

He draws a lot of charges even some that aren't called.

14. I'm just getting to know the team. But it is thrilling to see them meet the challenge.

I didn't think they had a hope against the Warriors.

15. Having home court helps a lot

Golden State goes on crazy runs at home and since Golden State typically had a better record than Cleveland so they would always start up 2 games to 0. One rule I always have is never count a team out until they played their 2 home games (which was true in the Milwaukee series).

One thing Toronto has going for them is they have the best defense in the league. Also Toronto is doing this without Anunoby who is a solid player off the bench. They hope he returns for the Finals but all the attention is on the Durant injury.

16. Yes. Their defense is great. And their temperment. I get the feeling

Coaches decided to take the lead from Kawhi Leonard on temperment. They don't get down. They just play play play.
