Raptors: ''Hey, we've missed our last 4 threes, only hit one three pointer this entire quarter, and Cousins is right there. What do we do?
Shoot more bad threes!''

Basketball.
Raptors playing shell-shocked. They had to know this could happen, right? Someone told them that the Warriors were usually good, right?
Steph Curry doing his best James Harden impression again. Curry just leaping sideways into a defender to get the foul. Kind of lame.
Raptors appear to be settling in again, shrinking the lead from 16 to 7.
Toronto needs to calm down and play their game in this 4th Quarter.
Also: Curry came out onto the court while the clock was still running to hype up his teammates.
How the hell is that allowed? Warriors had 6 players on court while the clock was active. It was not a time out. It was not a whistle.
Raptors have gone cold at the absolute worst time and they apparently have no answer for Cook and Bogut.
This is where the bad officiating really bites the Raptors. Gasol was getting called for nonsense fouls earlier, which meant he couldn't defend with the same aggression he did in game 1. He's not fast enough to defend without that physicality, so those fouls essentially took him off the floor.
Without Gasol, Bogut can just catch these lobs all night.
Feel bad for Vanvleet tbh. He's hustled his legs off, taken so many bumps for this game, and it's going to be given away by those 5 minutes in the third.
WTH were the Raptors thinking on that last GSW possession?
Can't even comment on the final 2 minutes of the game because the NBA app froze, then I found a stream and it froze, then I went on to the ESPN site to at least get the gamecast and then THAT froze too.
Fantastic timing.
Turns out that if the refs officiate poorly in the first half, and then you can't hit an open jumper for 6 minutes in the second half, you lose.
Weird.
I'm so tired of the Warriors man lmao. That 19-0 run at the start of the half was the killer.
The thing is, that run wasn't even the Warriors doing.
I mean, part of it was. Obviously they were scoring and their defense was much better than it was in the first half.
But Toronto GOT open shots. Several of them. Just couldn't make anything for a solid 6 minutes.
Tor played great d on curry the last 5 min but couldn't hit. Danny Green was the only one to hit ironically enough.
Early calls were horrible against Tor. 4 of Lowry's 6 fouls were early on flops. Same with 2 of Gasols early illegal screens. Totally took those 2 out of the game.
On that note, GS is flopping EVERYTHING. Not just shots. I'm taking screens, rebounds, box outs, dribbles, incidental contact, etc. It's very clear just how much Kerr has taught them to sell and if they get even 30% of those calls then you have a situation like tonight where Tor has 3 starters in foul trouble in the 2nd qtr. If any team didnt need the extra advantage its GS.
Props to Quinn Cook for catching fire from three in the 4th
