With game 1 out the way, the line between well rested and too rested is hopefully washed away.
Siakim had an amazing game against us, but I think we did a better than decent job on containing Kawhi and not allowing him to get off at any point in the game. Overall, I feel like the Raptors showed up, and the Warriors weren't fully prepared for it.
The Warriors just didn't have any real production outside of Curry and Klay to get over the hump, and all the damn turnovers really kept preventing any momentum shifts. I doubt game 2 goes the same way, so it'll be interesting if Warriors get back to the intensity of play on both sides of the ball that they had in the previous series.
I also bet they start getting Durant in some warm up routines and start practicing him just before game 2, so he's available in game 3. With a Durant on the floor last night and Warriors win this one. just needed someone else to reliably score... or a group of other to collectively score, and we just didn't quite have it together last night.
It's all good though. It's just game 1. There's still plenty of basketball to play going forward.
on to the next one!!!!
