Siakam and FVV combined for 24 points in a must win game
FVV is playing hurt. You can really see it. But Spicy P…not so spicy. And Jo bounced one off his brain.

If they get it together and find a way they can end the series with the way this is set up. They’re in reach. They can steal their hearts and stomp them out here.
Winning on the road in the playoffs is tough. But that’s the first shot in that spot (end of 4Q/OT shot to tie or win) he’s hit in his career. He was 0-14 before that.

And here is Joel talking trash to Drake

A guy with a high basketball IQ who is out of control going out of bounds getting bailed out because a dude put hands on him when he didn’t have to. That’s Raptors culture and identity and if that’s who you are that’s gonna happen to you.

Yep. Taking it on the road is a different story. I think he lacked confidence in his J tonight.

So much didn't work for Philly tonight and they still won. Def need Thybulle back that depth is really bad without him. But a sweep would save some legs for sure

Terrible end of the game play design, but Tobias had a chance.

Should have hit that shot.
Feel awful for the dude because he did so many good things tonight. I don’t recall Tobi impacting the game in a positive way before without it being scoring. He defended well. He made great decisions when the ball finally started to move in the 2nd half. Hustle plays.

We all bag on the dude but he’s been really good. He’s expensive AF and it’s never gonna be a value contract but Maxey is still cheap. I’m not trading Harris unless I can get value back for an under rated pro who has shown now he can play a lot of different ways and fill a lot of different roles. He made himself a fit here. Money is spent and I ain’t having luxury tax out of my pocket.

Now that it’s over tonight is a benefit. They have things to coach up and another reminder of the importance of moving the ball. And they will come out of this series with at least one game of playoff pressure down the stretch with positives and things that they need to improve upon. Thybulle is always gonna be missed in a tight game like this because of the offense/defense. I’m shitting my pants after Harden goes out because you look at that bench and you’re like Shake or Niang. Who gets cooked? Ha.

Dont care. I would have played that differently
Meh. It probably would have been established on film and a pro staff is gonna know that and draw something else. Dude executed Raptors did not.

Harris and Wiggins are basically the same deal, very good players but overpaid. Still, it's good to have good players.

Yes. Very similar comparison. He’s a guy who has played a lot of different roles because he’s been asked to play them and defer to guys who are exceptional but have been hurt. He’s been like a utility infielder in baseball. It took him a little bit to find his fit with the fully healthy group but he seems to be in a good place now that the playoffs hit. Many teams looking very good right now and Warriors are one of them.

It's wide open especially if Booker isn't 100% in later rounds

Hamstrings are cranky. And once it happens once it’s more likely to happen again. At the same time, I hope he can go. Hated to see Scotty Barnes go down too.
