I'd give game 1 to the Raptors already, except there is an early rally from Bucks in the 4th quarter:

Pascal Siakam with that buzzer beating 3 to make it a 7 points lead for Raptors going into 4th quarter, Raptors have been pretty solid at defence forcing Bucks to shooting from outside, and they are doing that ineffectively.

I thought that the Raptors will steal Game 1 on the road but they run out of steam in the 4th quarter. Lots of turnovers, missed shots etc. The Fatigue is also a factor for them so the last quarter is the time for the Bucks to regain the lead.

Anyway, good game for both of them. I didn't see Giannis defending Kawhi and vice versa but its a close game. I will not be surprised if this will go to a Game 7 Cheesy

. It will be more exciting to watch

I like to see that, of the two series, this series has a better chance of going into distance.
Bucks has to win game 2, but I am seeing lots of Raptors fans here also, so whoever team will advance in the NBA finals, I would be happy.

That's possible, but it's just game 1, Bucks can win on the road so I would not think that the Raptors will win the series because they win game 1.
It's still too early, Bucks were able to make a comeback but Raptors now take the lead again, that's how fast they can make a run,
Let's enjoy the game tonight, I still believe in the Bucks to win despite still down now.

Sorry mate, Bucks took it in the 4th quarter and won the game.

Game 2 might still be the Bucks here, but a more dominant performance.
The commentators said Raptors maybe feeling the fatigue, but no excuse, a loss is a loss.

Thinking that 6.5 points is far to generous to give the Raptors tonight
Durant or not the Warriors will defeat Toronto/Bucks Lips sealed

Then bet on the other side, that line could be a trap for the Raptors fans, when money are coming for the Raptors, Bucks might win 10+ tonight.
Bucks has been consistent in the playoffs against the Celtics, IIRC, they won 20+ points in their last 2 games at home.

It might not be the story tonight. Raptors is a different team. And Milwaukee is returning from a long rest. In their first game with Celtics, they also have a long rest and was beaten by Celtics on their home court. Bucks may also lose tonight and come back on game 2.

There is a huge possibility of the Bucks losing tonight, Raptors are given the luxury of space to shoot 3s with relative ease, which the Raptors a using their own advantage, that could be the Bucks undoing.

1st quarter: Milwakee Bucks looks out of rhythm, they'll need to get themselves together to stand a chance tonight.

.....so much for the Lillard and Mccollum show. Grin

Lillard is off for the last 2 games, including the recent, don't know if he is having some injury or the defense of the warriors are just too physical.
They area really moving fast, if they are like a dancer, they dance gracefully on the floor.
No one on one plays like Durant, and as a result the good scoring of Curry and Thompson was displayed.

Is it just me? Game 1 is boring. Even without KD, still Warriors is too much for them. It's like the series between GSW and POR has been decided even if it's not done yet. Well, it's GSW era. I expect this to be done in Game 5, or if they can't stop the duo of Klay and Steph this will end as sweep. Hope the Eastern Finals won't be boring like Western.

The only way of stopping Klay and Steph is to overpower them by making more shots and scoring more points that him and I don't see that possible with Portland. Maybe they can do it for 1 game, maybe two but McCollum and Lillard can't keep the pace for 5-6 games because we've seen many games where only one of them performed well. For me Portland = McCollum + Lillard because without them this team would not even compete in the playoffs while Golden State has much more firepower than that.

Warriors defense is their offense, their plays are so fast so if opponents want to beat them they've got to outscored them as it is impossible for the opponents to guard the Warriors run and gun type of offense. Just wonder though, i bet on + for the total score but still lost Grin

I think Durant doesn't need to come back at all. Blazers vs warriors could be done in 4 games as well, I mean it could definitely be a 5 game or hell even 7 game who knows but it looks like sweep is quite possible, if warriors lose one game then maybe Durant could come back for the 5th game and get some prep time for the finals but honestly I feel like even without Durant for all of this playoffs warriors could easily beat both blazers and raptors/bucks.

Durant is a player that puts you above everyone else and makes you invincible but without Durant warriors are not a bad team, they deserve to be the best team out of last 4 even without Durant. Last nights game was just pure fun and they didn't even worked too hard to win it, the game was over in the first minute.

They wont become Champions if they aren't capable and that should be put up in mind for those people who do keep saying that Warriors
do rely or depend on KD.They steal out a ring without him so it wont be surprising that they would make the same thing again.
GSW is a strong team and they have proven it out but I do disagree on your point that seeing the game was over in the first minute
which I don't see the same thing since Blazers do really give out some fight but Warriors is much more better in the end of the day.

Sorry Blazers, you cannot win at the Warriors home.

As I thought. It will happen.

They have been a new Warriors Team ever since KD came.
Why?
They got dependent.
They knew KD can score by himself so they let him do that for like 30 mins of the game. No more rotation of the ball and a lot more offense for KD instead of being divided to everyone. Klay got so cold because of that.
But look at Klay now. He is always hot at any position of the court.
Now Curry is also back. Look at how the ball rotates. Everyone is having a second to touch that ball which is a great thing if you are a player. It boosts your confidence.

Trail Blazers have so many things to discuss now. The switches is a priority. Game 1 is a visible weakness of Portland. They cannot switch because Kanter is afraid no one will rebound the ball after a shot. Trust your team mates or just contest the shooter first. Do not think about one problem after another.

Im having the same feeling where i dont feel any excitement on this Game 1 between Warriors and Blazers.I've been expecting for Cj to perform well but defense
is just to tough i guess yet Klay have been defending and do even block him for a couple of times. Curry is on fire shooting up 3's same with Klay even there are missed ones but
still a win without KD.How much more if KD is playing?

If you are a warriors fan and you bet on them to win, you will not feel bored on the game.
That's their usual way of winning, they love to show their opponent how good they are, remember last NBA finals, they beat the Cavaliers by over 20+ points. IIRC, that was not even played in their own home court.

Sorry Blazers, you cannot win at the Warriors home.

I agree with you and I love seeing them back playing like this, playing with a lots of movements and the ball really rotates well and land in the hands of the shooters, the splash brothers are so terrific showing how deadly they are inside and outside, we can the passions and dedications from everyone who have the chance to play inside the court.

KD's rest is not a problem, the Warriors really dominated the game 1 as blazers don't find any counter to recover the lead.

Curry is really back in his form. And we see the old Warriors and then sum. Curry opted again to pass in the first 2 quarters and then shoot the light outs in the 3rd and 4th pushing the lead. Lillard and CJ are tired after a hard fought series against Nuggets and doesn't look fresh so probably another factor why they did lost big time in game 1.

Again, they have proven that they can win without Durant in the past and in game 6 against Houston Rockets. And I agree that we miss this kind of Warriors team since the team offense is mostly focus on Durant.

Now there are extra passes, good communication and of course the vaunted Splash Brothers taking the scoring load. They are really two of the best shooting guards in the NBA, so much for the Lillard and Mccollum show. Grin
