2024 NBA Season

[Reid]

Let us face it. It shows they lack the offensive power without Thompson. Looney is also is a great help but injuries are part of the game.

Curry though showed again why he is the two time MVP. Even with the tight defense he still managed to make 47 points.

They lose but this can put more confidence to the bench players. They just need to step up and help Curry. Green worked hard too and Iggy. But it aint enough.
Also the addition of defensive awareness of Thompson is missing.

But hell, Raptors win. They cannot make it as an excuse into why GSW lose.
All of them are NBA players out there who are being paid a lot. They all need to step up to win like what Siakam did.

Conclusion: A great hard fought game for both teams. Now they showed what NBA really is.

You would really able to see or feel of Klay's absence and they do really lack that offensive power and so as with defense.
They do push up to hard missing out crucial baskets and even they do scored out then raptors would really have that exchange.
We do see on how Curry works hard and even on bench ones.Lets see if starters of Gsw would be on game 4.

[rosezionjohn]

The Raptors have been able to close the game out, game 3 won, and Raptors leads the series 2 - 1

This should have been 3-0 by now had the Raptors not thrown away game 2.


I picked Raptors to win this series and be crowned the NBA Champs in seven games but I would not mind if they finish the Warriors early  

Who has the latest update on Warriors injury list?

They are lacking on offensive power indeed. Only Curry is the player in Warriors who is scoring unlike the Raptors that I think 6-7 players are in double digits.

But Raptors won on the road and now the odds are favoring to them. The Warriors need Thompson and Durant in Game 4 to win but if they will not play, this will end in 5 games. 100% sure.

[Dontme]

I think the Golden states will win the trophy again this season if KD and Thompson will come back to the game, Curry just by himself is giving Raptors a hard time. Raptors will win the season without KD in the GSW.

KD I think is listed as day-to-day and so is Klay, Looney is out already. They are not defending champs for nothing. I'm sure they will give everything in the next game, it's another must win situation for them. I have a feeling that Klay will be back in game 4. He just take a rest, I remember he said that if feels 80%-90% then definitely he will go and contribute. So he is already rested, and I'm expecting a comeback in game 4.

[beerlover]

It is so weird to see warriors losing in a final series at 2-1 and still being the favorites by clear margins. Raptors managed to beat warriors twice but in the first one they had home court plus no Durant and in the second one warriors missed both klay and Durant.

This fourth game is very vital and they may try to rush Klay and Durant back, I don't know if it will happen or not, I don't know if Durant will return or even Klay but if they both do come back then warriors will have an easy win and the championship will go to them, however if Durant or Klay misses the series all together or basically not return for game 4 and raptors wins the game then the series has a high shift to raptors championship. This fourth game will definitely shape the series for sure, without Durant and Klay raptors could literally end this in game 5.

Indeed. There is still room for the 3 - 1.
I think that Raptors is the greatest team in the NBA championship this year and I hope they are going to win the title.

[Harlot]

I'm getting worried that every game finished is making the chances of KD and Klay Thompson returning higher and higher. Since they are listed day-to-day chances are they'll be ready in Game 4 and can change the series in a lot of ways which is in favor for the Warriors. The only thing the Raptors can do now is to hope that they can mimic what they done to the Milwaukee Bucks and shutdown all of their scorers which I think will be in a different task for the Raptors with this team.

I guess it's really up to the players if they are going to suit up for the next game. Obviously, Durant is not ready, but I'm betting that Thompson injury is not that worst, compare to KD and could be definitely play in Game 4.

But we have a local saying, if Toronto Raptors destiny to win this year, then nobody can stop it. Even if KD and KT suit up.  .

Its entirely different yet Bucks and Warriors team is incomparable but they can possibly mimic out on what happened into their previous series with Bucks.

Shutting down scorers of gsw? thats possible but curry would always have the spot to score on.How much more if KD and Klay would be on the field?
This would be an another story.

I just checked on https://www.rotoworld.com/basketball/nba/injury-report  Klay Thompson is expected to be available for the Warriors in game 4, meanwhile Kevin Durant has been said to be ruled out. If Klay Thompson should eventually play and he's able perform as expected play then Warriors could win game 4. However, almost everything is working in favour of the Raptors .

[harizen]

Able to take advantage of the @2.6 odds for the Raptors Moneyline. My final attempt to bet on Raps at Oracle Arena. I just play with the risks since it's worth to put a shot.

Betslip

Want to placed bet on Golden State Warriors next game but the hell the ML odds are low. I understand below @2 but below @1.5 isn't really my preferred odds. And even Raptors are in 2-1 now, the line to them is almost @3.

A trap indeed.


Analyzation about Game 3:

Firepower indeed became an issue to Golden State Warriors but Raptors just really played good. Let's give credits to that rather than point out that just because of Klay's absence, they won. It's disrespect. See the hot shooting of Danny Green from the rainbow area. Kyle Lowry also did well.

It's a good move that Klay sits out in Game 3 rather than to risk it that may result in much worst injury. Game 4 is still undecided to him but chances are high that he will play.

Yep, cbs sports confirmed it 3 hours ago and they said that the Warriors is still unsure if KD can play in Game 4 as well. However lets not expect that the Raptors and Nick Nurse don't have a game plan prepared for this day, I know for sure that they have a game plan for the day that either KD or Klay Thomspon or both comes again in the court with Steph Curry. The real question is if this game plan would be enough for them to win another game when the Warriors is on full force.

[rodel caling]

I think the Golden states will win the trophy again this season if KD and Thompson will come back to the game, Curry just by himself is giving Raptors a hard time. Raptors will win the season without KD in the GSW.

Actually  the both player is important to go back in the game to help stephen curry if not raptors is considered a champion to this series. I very proud to Stephen acurry performance yesterday he give all his best to bring their team to get win.

I may sound biased here but IMO, it's a win that puts a "what if" question to the Raptors and i am not disrespecting them. The scenario of the game really changes if one of the splash brothers is out and for me it's not the Warriors anymore. Anyway, good move by the Warriors staff for resting Klay as it might worsen his injury. I read an article, Steve Kerr will play Klay and that would be the real test for the Raptors on the Road.

Odds are low for the Warriors, will be doing live betting on this one as i have observe on the last 3 games, Raptors will always lead in the 1st quarter thus changing the line odds in favor of the Warriors bettor.

They don't win for the record, that proves he ain't Lebron James who can carry his team, he is just Stephen Curry.

A gorilla compared to a monkey 😂 kidding aside he can't carry everything he needs some help from his teammates, even he tried to take charge he's not going anywhere, the full Raptors squad is ready to counter him.

Game 4 needs to have  either KD or Klay or if possible both of them on the floor.

Ok, if Klay is going to play then the complexion of the game has changed again. Yes, we should give credit to the Raptors by winning Game 3 but there is question mark. Is the outcome the same with Klay Thompson on the line up? We can't tell that. So if Klay is back with his usual self, 20++ points and good defense then it will be a total different game. So we will see, a lot of what if's scenario will be answered in Game 4.

Klay is not 100% for sure, he might score but he will not be as good as his usual way of playing defense.
He can score and defend at that same time, that's what I like with Klay because of his length he can do that, but coming from an injury, let's see if he can still help the team to win, Durant is out, I would say bad for the Warriors but we don't know, maybe other players are bound to step up.
