Considering how well he played in the ECF, it was pretty shocking to see Powell only get 5 minutes of action.

What was up with that @Bloody Brian Burke @raptorlife4

I guess Danny having a good game = not many minutes for Norm.

/McCaw ate a few of his minutes too lol

Think it was just the way guys were playing on the floor already.
I expect him to be a factor moving forward still

Nice problem to have considering the 1st 2 rounds we were getting nothing from our bench

Not surprising at all.

And this report is kinda BS with the "more likely game 4" part.

No way KD miss game 3 if the Warriors lose on Sunday. Now if they win then a game 4 return is likely.

Love 99% of anything involved with the Raptors. Then there's that 1%....

The West is not so weak. It's going to come as a shock to some people, but Toronto's actually a really good team that has arguably the best player in the playoffs right now.

The Bucks would have drug the floor with GS...

The West is very weak this year.

Well, we are where those of us in the know thought we'd be after game one as far as the sloppy and rusty play of the Warriors after 9 days off but there is still a possibility that they win game 2 and then we will be back in the driver's seat. I won't worry unless we get the same "Deer in The headlights" look when faced with adversity that we got last night. All bets are off if Iguodala cannot go.

Toronto seemed to matchup well against the Warriors. I had Golden State winning in five but now I'm not so sure.

Yes the Bucks matchup well with Golden State but so does Toronto.

Golden State swarmed Kawhi tonight. Leaving others open and they hit their shots. Pick your poison. Stay on him or lay off him a bit. Kawhi will take over the next game.

Shows how smart Kawhi is too. He never seemed to get frustrated and try to force anything. The fact that the role players stepped up certainly helped, but a lot of star players would still have tried to force things.

Can Nick Nurse get some respect please

Not until he changes his last name.

you wouldn't say this if the Rockets made the Finals...

Someone remind me, did Kawhi do anything this previous offseason where he whimpered or pouted in any sort of way when he was traded to Toronto? Did he threaten to sit out or something for a year until he was a FA to go to a bigger franchise? Serious question because I forgot if he created offseason drama over the move or not. Because if not this guy is a serious likeable player in the league moving forward.

Breaking News...

Knicks team doctors have ruled Kevin Durant out for the remainder of the series.

Lakers teams doctors are said to be closely monitoring the situation with Kawhi Leonard's knee.

He didn't from what i remember. After the trade there were rumors he may sit out but those rumors were quickly shot down

Dominance is switching sides and if KD leaves it could change the tide even more
