That was some exciting game with GSW against the Toronto Raptors.

2nd unit game the Raptors a hard time to win the game. Even with their 18 point lead, GSW stepped up and tried to get back to the game.

Kevin Durant though, damn he is really a monster. Drake's expression though was funny. He was WOW'ed at what KD could do.

They got to overtime and the Toronto Raptors got the win. Iguodala made 2 major errors but it is okay, they did their best without Green and Curry.

[Kemarit]

Off-topic though, Anyone heard of Kawhi Leonard's New Balance deal? 

(http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25400965/kawhi-leonard-toronto-raptors-new-balance-agree-shoe-deal)

Twitter sphere went wild and there are many jokes about the said deal. Kawhi has been carrying the Jordan Brand prior but I really don't have any idea why he chooses New Balance though.

The warriors would be stronger with their Curry and Green back in the game, but it seems like Durant has finally find his rule and scores big time.
Warriors haters are happy now, lol.. because this is the day that the Lakers won and the warriors loss.

There is a report that Curry is expected to return Saturday at Detroit.

Yeah, KD was impressive specially with his back-to-back 3's to tie the game. Unfortunately his 51 points is not enough to put Toronto. This could be the preview of the Finals for all we know.

It was an amazing back to back threes coming from KD, but the team still lacking ball  rotations without Curry and Green, I love seeing this two teams played against each other Kawhi also show his leadership and and he was so impressive very competitive player as it was, loving to see him played the old ways, hassle with really full of dedications if he will stay healthy raptors again will have another chance chasing for the finals..

Golden states lack the leadership of curry in the court. Not that Durant cannot be a leader but he is more like a one man team rather than sharing the ball with his teammates. With raptors having kawhi and Danny makes them an even more dealier than the last season.

With these games without Stephen Curry, we can now say that Kevin Durant can't really bring the team to win. Stephen Curry can carry his team before Kevin Durant became a GSW, that is my opinion, you can have your own. I know KD is better than Stephen but as a team, I will vote for Stephen Curry than Kevin Durant, as I said, that is just my opinion.

[cluit]

Remember this is the warriors without Curry and Draymond (and also cousins when he comes back) so this wasn't even half of their power and they barely lost to Toronto. With a healthy lineup they can still destroy any team they face. However, without curry I started to think that maybe warriors are not as invincible as people make them to be ? I mean lets assume Curry gets reinjured during playoffs or just before playoffs and he is out for the post season totally.

Can warriors still be the champions ? I mean I am 100% sure they wouldn't be the champions last year if that happened, rockets already forced them to 7 games and without curry they would definitely beat the warriors. This season there doesn't seems to be any other major players and rockets are not looking too great so Warriors are still looking great but all it takes is one big injury and it is anyone game.

Anyone can give out his opinion and theres nothing wrong with that since i do have the same views as yours but it is quite understandable that Curry would be more fit on carrying GSW
than KD yet we all know that Curry is been the team for longer duration than KD but lets not talking about solo's capabilities but rather we should focus on the teamwork.
I do taste out some a little bit salt in here. lol

We have the same thoughts about how curry bring his team into championships. Yes KD is a monster in the court but teamwork is always the key for championship in which he lacks.

I would rather have Curry on sickbay and Durant healthy. It has been proven that Kevin Durant is an all around player and he is the go to guy for now on the Warriors team. Relationship between players on GSW is a bit shaky right but i think if they will iron it out things will be smooth again and the road for the 3-peat would be clear.

Of course they could win because they are still the depending champion but their journey in the past 2 seasons is too easy and that is because of Durant.
Now, it's time for durance to carry a team that has no all start like Lebron is doing for him to earn the respect of the people if he wants to be called a great player.

[Ewinsane]

I can't believe Spurs are 10-12, they are getting away from the 0.500 mark more and more every single match.

It is really starting to look worrisome, I know Pop is one of the best coaches in the league history but he is still inactive during all of this as far as we can see, they need to try something else or they will be out of the playoff race for the first time in 2 decades and it will be the first year Kawhi decided to left and there was turmoil in spurs, it would all look like Kawhi was right and spurs is not a good organization anymore if they just let it go.

On contrary they have to win a lot more this year to show people that Kawhi wasn't a big deal but apparently he was. Lakers on the other hand started the season horribly but they have been getting better and better with time, lets hope they will find some ways to rival western conference but from the looks of it western conference is filled with hype teams like blazers and clippers which will not be too good for too long and will start to lose some games eventually.

There is a difference when Currry is around. It is like the whole team is alive on that day.
I am not fond of Durant but thanks to him GSW can keep up in road games and home.

The two pioneers needs to go back now. Injuries should stop afterwards so they could keep up and get that playoff spot.
Injuries are killing them after some championships.

They gave a Finals like game though for Toronto.

Lebron is having one of his best three point seasons of all his career, not only he is shooting well as a percentage but also he is shooting a lot of threes. I know dude really takes care of himself and his body in order to play for a long time and all of his 2003 draft mates are getting older and getting cut from the teams while he is still standing as the best player in the league but changing your game after so many years must be really difficult. Only a person like Lebron can achieve it. Dude came into the league as an explosive guy who could dunk anytime he wants and improved himself incredibly well first into post up game and now into his threes as well. When you are a threat like that it becomes harder to defend you and as a marvelous passer he uses that much better now as well. I can't believe how anyone can hate Lebron.

If you will see their roster, their are weaker compare to the roster where TP9, Duncan abd Ginobili and Kawhi is still playing. Only DeRozan is their all star player, most of them are average players and Aldridge and Gay are on their prime seasons already. Thats the reason why they are struggling right now. They can't cope up with other teams. Pop is a good coach but the players need more experience.

Same as Carter and Kobe.
When you are getting older it will be harder to penetrate in the paint. You will need some back up ammos to threathen the defender. Somehow it will help him to be more unpredictable even with his age.

They do this to every star and as long as they are willing to do it then it can happen.
Same with Grant Hill when he had his injury. Made him as useful as possible for the Phoenix Suns shooting threes even if he doesnt really do it at his young age.

I think they are just preparing for the worse case if Lebron suddenly feel that bones getting fragile.

Lebron will hold up like Jordan or Karl Malone and still being averaging 20 ppg at 40 years old.  I still think people calling Lebron the greatest of all time is ridiculous though.  Michael Jordan was leaps and bounds ahead of James and didn't fold under pressure like the "King".

This argument is long running now and I don't think we need to compare them. They have the time difference that makes it harder, in terms of the time, Michael won the comparison as he is defending with great players, Lebron James won the post season accomplishments, so where will we based the "GOAT", I don't know, people has their own explanation to it. If you want to read a good comparison, here's one. https://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/michael-jordan-vs-lebron-james/
