I think the Clippers beat them twice at home w/ KD... Raptors should be able to take them.

No zig zag here - wash rinse repeat...

Raps get early lead and don't look back.

The Raps starting 5 is better and their bench is stronger

It's a tough call but they may have enough to get it done. No KD for sure. 70% Klay may just be enough. They still need a 3rd scorer and Boogie, SDot, and Iggy are too inconsistent. As shitty as the Warriors played they were still in that game down to the final 2 minutes. Toronto had unbelievable efficiency from the starting 5. Can't see all 6 guys scoring in double digits again. Everything fell for them last night.

That's nuts to compare the Clippers vs Toronto! Anyone who knows the Warriors knows The Clips won 2 in the 1st round because the Warriors let them. You really think if both teams went 100% The Warriors would lose by 32 to the Clips like in Game 2? C'mon man.

they've also benefited from injuries quite a bit during their run

I'll take your word for that as I do not know. But long time excellance in big league sports requires lots of pieces to fit at the right time. It's good to see the Toronto team win if GS does in FACT lose the championship belt.

My long time favorite teams like the old old Yankees and long ago GB packers and a couple of others, had players that came back year after year --to win! Today's teams, especially Talented players like Durant and James and many more are far more interested in the money.

Can you imagine Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle or Whitey Ford looking for a trade for more money.

I don't think New England's Tom Brady has looked elsewhere for money.
The problem with all sports is how much will you pay me, not how many rings can i get in most long runs.

For those who believe "defense wins championships", it would seem the winner of this series is obvious.

Don't mean jack. This is totally a different situation. Look at the players health. Even if Durant does play he should not be 100%. I am also sure Klay Thompson is not 100%. Also no Looney. Plus this is a close out game. Don't mean JACK.
