Dubs running out of wings with KD and Iggy hurt

Laying the tracks for the “but we were injured” storyline already?
At least let time pass so everyone can forget that your “injured” players players were on the court for games 5, 6 and 7 and you could have closed out at home but failed.

2 things
1) all the Dubs fans who like the team better with out KD are awfully quiet now
2) 2nd tier/periphery dudes like Siakam tend to only have games like this @ home. One of the reasons home court matters. this is going to be interesting

I think the general belief amongst Warriors fans wasn't that they were better without KD, just more fun. And more so speaking towards next year, if KD leaves we'll have a lot more $$ to throw around to actually get some depth again. The lack of depth killed them last night, and it's also why they didn't win 60 games during the regular season. Curry had a good game, so did Klay, Draymond was decent enough (yeah, triple double with 10/10/10 but he needed to be more aggressive on offense and push the ball more), but beyond those three they got very little production.
Toronto definitely had some breaks go their way ("lot of contact there" - ya think so Mark?) and Siakam played out of his mind, and everyone on their roster had an efficient night. We'll see if they can keep that up or not. They had a very solid game top to bottom, sometimes you just have to tip your cap.
Sounds like KD is set to return for maybe game 3 or 4.

yeah, anyone who thinks they are actually better without him is nuts. But the style they play without him is more fun to watch.
Toronto proved that they belong here and that the Warriors are no lock. That said, even losing game 1, the Ws are still the favorites. If they go down 2-0, and we have a real ballgame."fuck off you asshat gaper shit for brains fucktard wanker." - Jesus Christ

Absolutely. Check out the box score from last night... just extremely efficient team play from everyone except Lowry (who still hit a big three towards the end). The Warriors took out Kawhi (relatively speaking) and forced his teammates to beat them, which they did. Big game from Gasol as well.

Drake - Draymond beef ramping up. Outstanding.
Drake with the phenomenal triple troll:

I mean, this is masterclass level shit.

Siakam was 14 for 17 with 8 rebounds, and he’s been great this playoff run. Let’s see what Kerr plans for game 2. I think Kawhi will get rid of the ball sooner on double teams, so there’s that.
Well maybe I'm the faggot America

Shit-talking observations:
-It bugs me how much the Warriors complain, was there a single dead ball where there wasn't someone in the ref's face?
-Steph played like Harden last night. I know it's a sensitive subject here so I want to clarify he usually has maybe 1-2 plays where I roll my eyes, but last night he was on another level. That play where he was double-teamed with Gasol in the 3rd(?) and chucked up a 3 with noone within a foot of him but looked like he had a mid-air seizure was just ridiculous.
-Draymond was 22% from the field, 6 TOs, more than half his points from the line, got scorched by Siakam on D all night then had the gall to immediately walk over to Drake and talk shit after the game??
-Lowry was kind of useless
Ok, now that I got that out of my system, let's actually talk about this series.
Warrior's rebounding was great, they're going to take care of the ball better, and did they did a good job of shutting Kawhi down, but at the expense of not guarding anyone else. I don't think I've ever seen that many wide open 3s taken in a game. They treated Marc Gasol like he was Dwight Howard.
So how do they keep the double-team on Kawhi but not give up so many open shots? Is it just quicker rotation or something else?
Also, I think it will be important that somebody steps up as a 3rd scoring option. It will probably be Draymond.It sucks to suck.

I agree that there are definitely better young players, but I think they're a really good trio together. There really is no way to know now how they'll develop. I do think maybe my opinion has been biased by how terrible of a job the Lakers have done trying to trade them for a star.
It sucks to suck.

Dubs ain’t better without KD but have more movement and higher variance. It’s exciting but not as efficient.
WRT next year, if Durant leaves I think the Dubs are fucked. They cannot use ANY of the $35M or so they would have tossed at Durant because they’re already over the cap without him.
All they have to fill his spot is the taxpayer MLE (about $5.7M) and maybe Shaun Livingston’s slot ($2M guaranteed and $7.7M total, so maybe another $5.7M remainder.) Rest of contracts would be vet min or rookies.
So, no KD, no Livingston (retiring), and Iguodala a year older. They can resign their own guys (Klay, Looney, Bell (restricted FA), etc).
WRT Cousins, they can only offer about $6.8M (about 125% over what he’s getting paid this year)
I think the Dubs can contend with Curry, Klay and Draymond next year, but would not be favorites.
