    With Durant the bookies make the Warriors the favourites for tonight.

    Let’s go Dubs !!! Ain’t got nothing to lose, would be
    Interesting to see them pull one out of the bag, Durant gets minutes and then we would see how Toronto cope with that kind of pressure, would be great for Toronto also if they lost but still win the series, would silence a lot of the nonsense sports media what if talk
    Can’t see them losing though, that crowd and city is just buzzing, reminds me of when the Warriors started to emerge, it’s a special time there for those fans

    That’s crazy in my opinion, it seems like putting him out there is a Hail Mary by the Warriors, he has gone from not practicing to playing, logically I can’t see him playing a lot of mins but who knows

    Raptors getting their ass kicked early on here, Warriors can't stop hitting 3's.

    It looks increasinly like the Warriors will win this 4-3 as expected with Durant back.

    Raptors staying in it with good defense and rebounding though.

    That's some take to make when the Raptors were back ahead half way through the 1st.

    I hope I'm wrong, but I think the Raptors have to do it tonight as Durant will get better with each game from here on.

    Warriors will win this if this goes to 7.

    Well it was on the basis that Durant stayed fit obviously, which he clearly never was.

    It would be some come back if the Warriors turn it around from here mind.

    Yea, emotional response right here, I think they are a bunch of scumbags with no basketball or sports knowledge.
    Rational response, people get carried away, not everyone did it, we move on

    It really does suck for the series though, I was surprised he was playing so many minutes, I tore my calf before and it took sooo long to get back

    Raptors will put a big run together at some point, they could pull away once the fact Durant is done sinks in for Warriors

    Poor end to the half for the Warriors really, lucky to get that Looney basket. They are being very careless with possession.

    Leonard is flopping a fair bit, through himself to the ground as if Curry shot him on an offensive rebound and that attempt to draw contact on the 3 was poor.

    Throwing this out there, I think it’s Durant’s Achilles, could of been it all along and they didn’t say, that’s my conspiracy

    God I think that's not something you mess with, whatever about a calf being difficult, an Achilles would really be huge and to force yourself back from it would be crazy. Even more so when it is a contract off-season for him which would play into it no matter what.

    Ouch. They never should have put him out there
    . Huge risk to the players health

    Seeing this a lot online and I don't get it. If you don't think Durant had a say in whether or not he was paying I think you're crazy tbh.

    Not looking good for the Raptors, they're going to come in for some serious stick if they lose the series from this position. Some of fans getting carried away with Durant coming off seems to have fired the warriors up.

    Not surprised by the crutches or boot but leaving the arena is odd.

    So you don't think the organisation had major pressure on him to play?
