so... does KD come back in Game 5? He kinda wins this series either way no matter what happens here with the fans (like me) who bag on him incessantly for being a bitch. If they lose without him, well... maybe GS did need him after all considering they only won 4-2 against a Kyrie/Loveless Cavs team in 2015, needed to come back from 3-2 deficit to beat Houston without CP3 and now are getting taken to the woodshed by Toronto.
And if he comes back in Game 5 and they somehow come back to win the series, he'll be the main reason.
They are acting like that was the plan, in fact Kerr almost said the plan was for him to play tonight but he couldn't. But I still don't buy he'llplay. They show him walking and he looks fine but playing in a game I'm still skeptical
Basically the Warriors either avenge the blown 3-1 and win 3 straight and 3 peat for the ages, or Toronto continues to dominate the series and the run is likely over.
I half expect them to steal game 5 just on pride but they really haven't shown that yet. Save the one 18-0 run in game 2, Toronto has controlled.
They can't stop the pick and roll and they can't get a 3rd scorer.
Kerr tried a modified death lineup late with Green, Iggy, Klay, Steph and Cook and they got smoked in it, Cook missed all his shots they couldn't defend or rebound.
