Yeah, so that works.

If Clay and Grant are okay on Friday, we don't know that to be true yet.

Durant is going to go through a practice tomorrow, But I do believe that the Warriors had to make a calculated move here to basically reduced their odds in the short term to go for the better move in the long term.

And I'll just say that if you're taking, if you're making an injury decision, Scott Game three is a hard one because the different the date the time off between three and four is the tightest in the Siri's.

And it's early in the series.

But it's not out of the woods in terms of a pivotal game.

So they had a game to give, and I'll remind you that they're the greatest road playoff team in probably MBA history.

They've won a road game in 23 consecutive series, so I don't think they're worried about losing home court.

They made a calculated risk tonight, but I thought the Raptors played great and they were all business in their locker room after the game.

They're not overreact in this situation.

And more than those stars they were missing.

The fact that the Warriors did not have Kevon Looney tonight made a huge difference on the Warriors defense, and the Raptors found some things that they're gonna go to.

And so Friday night has the potential to be one of the more interesting finals games we've seen in a long time.

I completely agree with you and I look, I know the Warriors are a great road team.

We've used the stats about them under occur, and they won a game on the road on every single playoff series.

That's great.

But Toronto's one in Philly, Toronto's one in Milwaukee and not Toronto's one and Golden State.

And I feel like they like there's blood in the water and I'm not saying they're gonna win the finals.

But you know better than I would cause your there, your sense of this team and the level of confidence they have.

You sense that, Brian, that it's growing and grew tonight.

Yeah, and I honestly believe like they played DeMarcus cousins off the floor tonight.

They were not.

I guess they just weren't ready in Game two for cousins to play.

Gasol got outplayed.

Gasol was so focused before this game, he was out here early, working very hard, very focused.

Marc Gasol knew Scott that this was probably the most important game of his career.

He had a sense of that feeling.

You could just tell the way he was approaching the game.

He came out with that mindset and they played the bigs off the floor that once the basic it off the floor.

Now that opens up Serge Ibaka.

Now they feel the loss of Kevon Looney.

The Raptors found some stuff here.

Now, if your head comes back and scores 55 points in the game, granted, the great team that's one of great teams of all time is gonna win.

But the Raptors feel like they put some some spite some stakes in the ground tonight, and I think you're going to see that in their confidence as the series goes onward.

And the really fascinating thing to me is Golden State knows that they can be confident about Durant if he's Durant, but you can't know what either he or Clay can give.

You can use that.

That's what fascinates me.

Like what?

It's just a guess, isn't it?

The uncertainty going into Friday is crazy because we're really not going to know how Durant's gonna be.

And so after he goes to that practice tomorrow, and by the way, the Warriors are not gonna practice.

So they're gonna have to rally up like their guys at the end of their bench.

Their two way guys, They're Geely guys, some coaches to create a practice environment for him.

So he's saving, not really going up against a real practice.

So then you got to see how he bounces back from that.

Then you got to see how Clay's hamstring is.

Can he run around?

Can he run the three miles he normally does on Friday and that?

Let's just even give you that.

Durant will be healthy and the clay will be healthy, what they do with their style tonight.

And really, really, For the last 10 games in the playoffs, this has been Steffes machine.

Steph has been the guy that's running everything.

How do you integrate them back in?

I I was figured when Durant came back that there was gonna be a loss in their Justus.

They got used to each other again and that that would be a game that they could give.

But they have no games to give Now.

There's no margin for air.

That was one of things about this team.

Has always had the biggest margin.

Frayer.

Another margin for error is here.

And the best thing they got going for him is if he plays it all.

Whatever he is, you know I am.

I'm Kevin Durant.

We'll see.

We'll see if he and Clay are there and we'll see what happens.

Also set up for one of the great heroic performances in finals history.

Could a guy win the finals?

M v p Missing three games.

Yeah, honestly could go it.

I could go Or the last game with Oracle could be Friday night.

It could go either way.

I'm gonna be watching.

Yeah, well, I think you're obligated to and I'll be talking to you afterwards.

Brian, Thank you so much.
