    Max Kellerman tells the absolute truth about the Warriors “dynasty”. He tells no lies.

    Durant's presence on the floor could be a huge factor for the rest of the team but I would be surprised if Durant played like his old self his first game back. I still think it favors the Raptors at home. This is Canada's war against America right here. I think they show up and take it eh. Balls to the wall. Let it all hang out...Durant or no Durant. Eye of the tiger!

    So you're(or he's) saying they're not the greatest-bestest-superest-unbeatable-no-one-had-a-chance team ever? :D

    First year of this so-called dynasty, LeBron was missing Kyrie & Kevin Love. Matthew Dellavedova was the 2nd best player. They went to six games! They would have lost to a healthy Cavs team. Next year, 73 win team, lost a game 7 on their home floor. Then they add KD. No one is supposed to beat you at that point. They got one. They should have lost to the Rockets, who were down Chris Paul, missed 30 threes, still a single digit loss in game 7. Now this year. KD goes down, they're gonna lose again? And they're not even putting up a fight? It's a bad look period.

    That’s exactly what I’m saying. Great team but far from the greatest-bestest-unbeatable-no-one-had-a-chance team ever lol.

    Raptors better win tonight in Toronto or this series is OVER.

    No way Warriors lose an elimination game at Oracle.

    And a potential game 7 versus the Warriors is too damn risky.

    That's when Curry and Thompson are likely to go nuclear with one of those insane shooting quarters that just sinks the opponent's entire season. Rockets have had it happen to them. Trust us. Raptors wants no piece of that.

    Again, tonight is the Raptors' Super Bowl / Championship Game.

    On paper, 3-1 up with Game 5 at home would seems the preferred scenario, but I sometimes think being the road team may be better psych wise.

    If you play Game 5 at home, the road team can look forward to the possibilty of a game 6 at home if the win game 5, and a real chance of forcing game 7.

    Whereas, if you are on the road for Game 5, the home team may not be so keen on traveling for a close out, and more importantly, if you dont win game 5, your second attempt will be at home with the crowd and not on the road.

    Everyone said it was impossible to win 2 in Oracle but Raptors did so. Kind of ignorant to say the series is over if GS wins tonight.

    Raptors 5-1 Warriors overall so far this season, including a blowout win in which KD played KL did not.

    So when one Rocket gets hurt, GS "should have lost". But when GS is missing a clearly superior player, plus other players missing significant time, he conveniently ignores that because it doesn't fit his preconceived narrative. Sh-- like that is why nobody takes that show seriously.

    Wow. It was obvious watching the games that those three have been bad, but that is AWFUL.

    If he doesn't have his defensive mobility back too, those 30 might not matter.
