Idk about you guys but I personally enjoy watching young adults be exploited for their athletic talents without compensation

 

I also enjoy porn

 

edit: that joke doesn't work porn stars get paid well nvm

Giving the Spurs all they can handle.

[dineke]

[thatoneguy]

thats gonna be norm powell in 2 years

[KingKat]

Really great and really entertaining game from the B team tonight.

[SpeedyGose]

Wow, that Powell pass to JV! He looks so good

[Abomination]

Really fantastic job tonight.

[SpeedyGose]

Bulls got pushed even farther out of the playoffs, Kings are currently beating the Nuggets. Could be an ideal night

[jays_fever]

Yea tonight's game basically eliminates Chicago from reaching the 7th seed.

Who do you guys want to face? It's down to Pistons Pacers I guess? Think I'd rather Pistons. I'm more confident we can deal with Drummond than George if Demarre isn't coming back.

[jays_fever]

Either. Both of teams should be easy outs, 5 games or a sweep. Those fan bases who are looking at last years team as a baseline will be in a rude awakening.

 

Anyone other than Miami in the second round.

Pistons will be easier I guess. Agree with jays fever though, both will be easy outs imo

Washington should've been an easy out last year too.

 

If Lowry's elbow is a problem...and it's clearly bothering him...then we've definitely got our hands full.

 

There are never any easy opponents. As soon as you think so, you're f***ed.

[jays_fever]

Last year's team was a giant disaster and it wasn't just Lowry being hurt. Nobody in their right mind picked Toronto to win that series. The way that team was being run into the ground by Greveis and Co. would have been swept by a couple of non playoff teams.

 

Contrary to popular belief, fans don't have any influence on the games, despite their "jinx's". This year's Toronto team is clearly on a different level than Detroit and Indiana. If they lose they lose, it's not going to change the fact that they should probably still sweep those inferior teams.

[GD]

Pretty sure everyone here picked Washington last year.

[dineke]

3rd straight year losing in the first round to a lower seed? Don't think even the raptors can pull it off but if any franchise can it would be them.

[GD]

Casey would still get an extension tho

[SpeedyGose]

Pretty sure everyone here picked Washington last year.

 

Lol, if you cant see the difference between last year and this year. Raptors were 13-16 after the break last year, this year 16-8 while resting key players quite often

Difference this year is Lowry got hurt/ran out of gas later into the season.

Raptors playoff presale for season seat holders took place this morning. The MLSE site is awful and crashed on me. Was looking for another pair in the upper bowl. Could have got crummy lower bowl seats for each round in the end zone, though they were pretty expensive, especially from the second round onwards and I figured they'd be tough to flip. Knowing how Toronto fans act, if the Raptors lose Game 1, Game 2 tickets will be worthless.

[SpeedyGose]

Man, does Lin have some ugly ass hair or what

[SpeedyGose]

If anyone was worried about Lowry's shot...I think he's fine guys

[GD]

How is anyone watching basketball tonight

[SpeedyGose]

baseball is a slow sport my man, very easy to flip channels

[dineke]

Bryan Colangelo taking over the sixers lol! One Joel Embiid please.

[jays_fever]

Caroll's alive!

[SpeedyGose]

Caroll's alive!

 

Making a positive impact too! Got an oboard, drew a foul, strong drive to the net, steal

[KingKat]

Yeah I just tuned in to this one late and was surprised, nay, shocked to see Demare Carroll. I didn't even know what he looked liked until just now.
