Raptors went all in this year. If this series holds up they have a lot of questions this summer.
they had no choice.

had to go for it. Its not looking good, but they had to do it.

2 first rounders for Ibaka is still too much.

Completely agree.

Lowry's  (and consequently the Raps') window closing.

If they fail badly in these playoffs. maybe Ujiri sees the writing on the wall and blows it up.

Maybe we could get someone from them.

Was it two for Ibaka? Just one for Tucker.

If the Celts go down, I'm rooting for the Bucks,

I hear ya, but....

I'm rooting for anybody to beat Bron Bron and the Dub(e)s.

If they play each other, i don't give a *#@*...I'm not watching.

Weird, I can''t root for anyone but the Green. I can root against teams, but not for any.

Sounds stupid, I know, but that's how I'm wired.

Any time you can watch a top 3 team of all time against a top 3 player of all time you obviously have to hope that doesn't happen. Seems totally reasonable.

watching the Bucks makes me think, if Stevens doesn't win COTY, Jason Kidd won't be too bad

Honestly I think the Bucks will give a ton of problems to the Cavs in round 2, the length and size is legit
Jaylen Brown for All-NBA

I agree that they should to the extent that if they don't, I'm adding more data to my theory that the NBA playoffs are subtly and mildly rigged on average.  Would also be surprised if Toronto doesn't advance, though.

If we don't get past the Bulls, the winner of Washington - Chicago should give them a lot of trouble too. Matchups matter in the playoffs. Rondo on Irving, Butler on James, Chicago would have a good chance

Through 3 quarters, the Raptors have only 46 points...  :o
12 points, 18 points, and 16 points in each of the first 3 quarters. They scored 31 in the 4th and still lost by 27 points. What an absolutely atrocious showing.

BTW, Ibaka with 6 points and 3 rebounds in 25 minutes.
1957, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1974, 1976, 1981, 1984, 1986, 2008
