Agreed. Charlotte scares me. They always play the Raps tough. I think Washington would be difficult but they'd take it in 6 (Gortat is super underrated and Wall has really come along).

 

Al Jefferson scares the s*** out of me.

DD always looks like a huge scrub against Henderson too.

JV peaking at the right time:

 

March: 12.2PPG/8.5RPG .605 FG%

April: 20PPG/10RPG .674 FG%

 

He's playing like an absolute world killer right now. I'm not sure what happened but something has clicked and he's playing angry.

[SpeedyGose]

I think JV is the key to any deep run. Especially against Chi/Cha, Big Al is a beast on offense but a sieve on defense. If we can make him consistently work on the defensive end then I think we can wear him down

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Keep the train rolling forward tonight boys. Should be an easy win if they execute as 'Melo is hurt.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Terrible start for both teams. Ugly shots.

[Orgfiller]

Andrew Wiggins in the house. JV once again very solid even though I'm focusing more on the Jays' game.

[SpeedyGose]

Ya JV is playing really well. Struggling from the line though. 8 Rebs, next best on Toronto has 3

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Christ, stop settling for long jumpers.

Yup, Knicks are barely contesting down low, specially when Chandler sits.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

They don't deserve to win this game with this effort.

[Orgfiller]

Every time Vasquez makes a turnover a kitten dies in Toronto.

[Orgfiller]

It's laughable that Chuck Hayes is in over Valanciunas in the 4th quarter.

[dineke]

Seriously... they're going to lose to the knicks?

[Orgfiller]

JR Smith just barreled Lowry, not even going to review it?

[theblujay]

Loss to the Knicks. Lol

[Orgfiller]

Lol apparently the Bulls are getting beat by the Pistons too. That's far worse than losing to the Knicks.

[Abomination]

Wow, looks like JV is having a big game on the boards!

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Terrible loss.

 

Hopefully Chicago doesn't come back vs Detroit (they likely will).

[Orgfiller]

Game over. And btw once again Casey puts in Salmons over Ross in the 4th.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Detroit was up by like 18 over Chicago and now it's a 2 points game.

 

God dammit.

[P2F]

And suddenly it's a goddamn blowout.

[Orgfiller]

So I just tuned in, and apparently we're blowing out Detroit, not exactly unexpected.

[letsgobjs]

The pacers beat the thunder earlier, so if they win against Orlando, or the heat lose a game they'll take the top seed. Maybe it's not the end of the world if the bulls win out. Granted a series against the nets would be tougher but I think we can all agree that a second round match-up against the pacers is the preferred option.

[Orgfiller]

Kyle Lowry has 3 straight three's going back to the last minute of the 2nd quarter. Ridiculous.

[GD]

So, um, Andre Drummond and stuff.

[GD]

Yeah. Andre Drummond.

[John_Havok]

Starting to look like it won't matter much even if the Raps get in the playoffs, they won't win getting out rebounded by 30 every game.

[Orgfiller]

So, um, Andre Drummond and stuff.

 

Him and Monroe are studs, it's rather mind-boggling that the Pistons are so awful given that they actually have a fair bit of talent. The bigs are getting every single rebound.

[John_Havok]

They should be feeding JV every trip, yet they continue to settle for long 2's on the most obvious play in the world where DeRozan just curls up from the baseline off a screen..... This offense is so frustrating to watch.

The only way we'll pull away is by getting Drummond and Monroe in foul trouble, I agree.
