Anthony and Alex are back again for the 70th time for everything NBA Finals. The Toronto Raptors have a 2-1 advantage going into tonight’s can’t-miss Game 4 after an otherworldly performance in Game 3 ( 1:11 ). Can Toronto keep up their offensive efficiency? Can Curry be superhuman again and keep the Warriors in it? How much does having Klay on the floor matter? Is this must win?
Come listen and find out!
Toronto Can't Miss and Chef Curry Cooks in Game 3
The Raptors shot 52% from the field and became just the third team in NBA Finals history to have 50/40/90 splits. Shockingly, Golden State is one of them too. Toronto’s offensive efficiency has been off charts with a true shooting percentage of 61% last game and all of their starters over 15 points but can they keep it up? Join us and find out!
Steph Curry knew the bullseye was on him coming into Game 3. His fellow Splash Brother was out for just the 1st time in his 121 playoffs games and he needed a superhuman effort for his team just to contend. Well…….that’s just what he did. After sinking 17 points in the first quarter, Chef Curry cooked up to the tune of 47 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists. That is good for 8th most all-time in NBA Finals points but it wasn’t enough, as the talent around him just doesn’t have what it takes to compete with this Raptor’s squad. We think Curry will get some help back in Game 4 but will it matter? Listen to our takes this week to find out!
Klay Thompson- A Top 10 Player?
With the absence of Thompson, it was almost a certainty that the Golden State Warriors would lose on Wednesday night ( 11:21 ). What does that say about Klay’s game? If everybody believes the Warriors will be just fine without Durant next season but Klay can’t miss a playoff game if the Warriors want to win then the equation tells us that Klay is severely underrated. Alex believes Klay could be a Top 10 player in the league if given room to blossom. You gotta hear this take!
What Will Happen Next in the NBA Finals?
As the series wears on, the Warriors will only get stronger and the Raptors will need to keep pace as Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson get back into the fold ( 23:35 ). GSW put all of their chips on tonight’s Game 4 by keeping Klay out and now they have to show up. With the series flipping back to The Six for 2 of the next 3 games, it feels like the Warriors need this one to have a chance. The vultures are swarming over the Bay and the bodies are piling up as Dub Nation limps to the finish line but never count a champion out. Can the dynasty muster up just a little bit more magic in this NBA Finals?
