Maybe he meant this...



On a related note, don't type 'propeller accident' in google images - way too gruesome for this site (or my eyes!)  :o

I get so tired of Pop's "smug/mean schtick." It's so played out and obvious.

Late on this, but my predictions:

Boston in 7

Cleveland in 5

Golden State in 5

San Antonio in 7

Yes, I'm still sticking by SAS in 7, I expect them to rebound. I originally had CLE in 6, but Toronto don't look confident out there and I think not having Biyombo now really hurts them at the front court. I think the Jazz will take Golden State to quite a few close games but at the end, GSW reigns supreme. I do think if it was LAC vs. Golden State, GSW would have swept them easily.

It's possible the Rockets are a worse matchup for San Antonion than I reazlied. Lowe picked the Rockets in 6 which seems pretty feasible right now.

But also wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs came out and won 4 of the next 5 games, either. Pop will make some adjustments and Kawhi will shoot better.

Crazy game 1 for the series, though.

I also originally had this being a lengthy series with the possibility that Toronto would actually win. I will admit my confidence in that outcome was shaken by the game 1. That being said, could their frontcourt be really weaker with Ibaka and Tucker replacing Byombo?

Griffin coming to Boston is so perfect there's no way it will happen.

So painfully true.....

Toronto is notoriously terrible in game ones, like a 1-12 all-time record terrible. It's almost become a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point, so I expect a much closer game two and rest of series.

Man, Derozan has been downright terrible and a no-show this series so far. The Raptors as a whole have just been playing like garbage. They clearly are intimidated by the Cavs.
