I thought it was odd that he wasn't on the sidelines with his teammates also.Why is he not sitting on the bench for the games?
What seems to happen in these elimination games is the dog comes out strong. They will play hard until the favorite takes control, then its good night. GS 1H is a good play if one likes them.ESPN billing this game as a "must win" for the Warriors. Let's not overstate the obvious. But can't one argue that it also is a must win for Toronto? If the Warriors pull out game 5 tomorrow night, now they get some momentum for an arena finale in Oakland in game 6. If the Warriors take that, now the narrative becomes "will Toronto choke the way OKC did in 2016"?
Maybe they won't, but A LOT of pressure on Toronto tomorrow night.

Toronto has outplayed G.S. the whole series, except for the first 6 minutes of the beginning of the 2nd Half in Game 2, when G.S. came out, and went on a 18-0 Run.
That is all true. I think everyone has written Golden State off, and based on their play, it's understandable. The pressure is off them at this point, and all on Toronto as they are expected to close them out tomorrow. Their players have handled everything well so far.....but we get rareified air tomorrow night.
I would take GS 1h before I took them at a near pk for the game. We have the same line of thinking about Toronto though.I'm not sure if I do. I've been on Toronto in every game. Pressure didn't seem to get to them against Philly and Milwaukee. But neither of those teams have 3 titles in the last 4 years, and arguably should've had 4.

I do hesitate to say they should have had 4 when they had breaks also. Cleveland was missing players and Houston may have beat them if Pail didn’t get hurt.
Irving and Paul wouldn't have made a difference. GS was head and shoulders the best.
The one scare they could've gotten I believe was 2 years ago. The Spurs led by 22 or 23 in 3rd quarter of game 1 in Oakland when Leonard got hurt and missed the rest of that series. Kawhi a much better player than either Kyrie or Paul, IMO.
