Yeah 8-31 was a massive hole, and I knew of all the injuries, Quickley just got back and is on limited minutes, I think this is the first time the last 2 games with their full rotation, all of a sudde

Cool - that's reasonable enough.  However, after seeing the G-League lineup they played last night, I think I better wait until the start of the next season to go...

It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.

You guys really think we can steal one in the Bucks home court? If not, we are just postponing the inevitable, not that I don't want more basketball.

 

You're right, no chance. Bucks in -5.

Is this like when Charles Barkley said last night he was wrong about the GS vs. Pacers series because he thought it was best of 25 ;)

Depends on adjustments I guess, Kawhi's health and if the bench can do what it's been doing. We need to stay out of foul trouble, some guys were walking a fine line even last night. If Marc Gasol can continue to play like he played last night, that is a gamechanger. His 3 is dropping, he's showing more confidence driving in the lane and his defense and passing have been absurdly good. Powell has been a godsend. Ibaka needs to have more games like that one where he's just a monster on the glass.

 

If Raps win tomorrow, I think they take this in 6. They didn't just win last night, they adjusted to Milwaukee and dominated them the entire game. Makes me feel like something started to really click.

 

I also feel strongly that the Raptors can beat the Warriors, especially with home court. I think the ECF are the actual finals rn.

The self-admitted Raptors bandwagon jumping fan is now dumping newb NBA knowledge on us about how #TheFinalsWillBeEasyToWin. Even referred to the team as "we". If this is not a curse I don't know what is.

I had not many vehicles with which to watch the games and I hate those s***** Reddit streams. I have been paying attention the whole season, though, and I also used to be a huge fan in the Vince Carter/TMac/Anthony Davis days. I still remember Dell Curry's breakaway pull up 3 in game 7 against Iverson's 76ers.

 

TL;DR gfy

5 year old Anthony Davis f***ing carried that team, I don’t care what anyone says.

They needed a convincing win last night to make a statement, and they did just that. I was so impressed with the way they played throughout the entire game.

 

I'm actually pretty confident in this team going back to Milwaukee and possibly winning Game 5 if they play the way they did last night. Momentum is on the Raps side now IMO. Milwaukee is the team under pressure right now.

I’ll take the Bucs in 7, which was my prediction to start with. I could see Raps taking it though. I think MIL was a tad overrated after first 2 games. I was seeing mainstream articles suggesting it was the start of a dynasty. They had just rolled over Boston easily which I didn’t think they would. A lot of internal discord going on in Beantown though and it showed.

 

The Raps have as much chance of beating the Dubs though as they did LBJ in years’ past

I don't see how it could be stopped, unless there's a rule about players accepting gifts based on residency. It's basically a promotional thing for the developer. You can bet they'd be marketing the condos with his name featured prominently.

Idk. Just seems like something that wouldn’t be allowed. In this case it’s a developer but what if it’s someone connected to the ownership group sweetening the pot when there’s a hard cap scenario

If it's outside of the Raptors scope then I don't see how it's circumventing anything... Unless the NBA adopts an NCAA approach and limits anything players recieve from anywhere.

 

Yeah, I guess you’re right. Like a sneaker company offering someone an extra $20m to sign with the Knicks

 

I was just thinking of the loophole room for abuse but you aren’t going to stop pro athletes from getting paid.

 

But this is likely why they won’t budge on NCAA guys. Definitely could game the system easy enough (not that it doesn’t get games already)

I guess LeBron James shouldn't have been allowed to do all those Gatorade commercials

Or Sprite. Although... He never did tell us to drink Sprite in those commercials, he asked us.

Not sure I agree with that. They won the first quarter and then were outplayed for the next three quarters.

You don't think they could have won a game that they were winning with three minutes left, you f***ing dork?

 

They had an 82% win probability in the third quarter of game one. 62% with under three minutes left in the game.

 

"not sure I agree that they could/should have won game 1. Just not sure that I agree with it. just not really sure that i can agree with your sentiments. just don't know. I just... not sure!"

They were outscored every quarter except the 1st and the 4th quarter they were outscored 32-17... I didn't need computerized win probabilities to tell me they were not going to win that game you f***ing nerd/Ostrich hybrid.

 

By the way, Hilary Clinton still had a 65% probability of winning on Election night at 9pm but everyone knew she was going to be toast by then.
