Tatum choked

Missed opportunity there. Not a lot of free throws and missing them.

Tatum said "You got lucky" to Embiid after that missed yam.  He's great.

Yep. Knew this would be the most entertaining series of the playoffs.  Great frieken game.  TP, tar.  Good conversation.  Look forward to the next one.

You think we can still get Ibaka for Terry now?

I like the match up with Cleveland..

Throw Brown, Semi at Lebron

Rozier/Smart/Larkin can handle clarkson and hill

Al/morris on love

Tatum on Jr smith

Probably start semi and play him on Korver

[blink]

Do they really even need to play the rest of the Toronto / Clev series?  It is 14-4 1/2 way into the 1st quarter, and Toronto looks mentally beat already.  DeRozan and the rest look like they want to be anywhere else but playing game 3 in Clev.

I hope they come back and play well and win, but just no fight from Toronto at all.

Seems like the one team that gets the raptors focused and hyped is the Celtics. I know James is James but I really feel like defensively boston can give Cleveland some fits.

Raptors have been a poor defensive team all year. Boston is a step above the Pacers who should have won that series.

There is nobody on Cleveland that worries me other than 23

Ugh, it'd be nice if Toronto could simply extend this series beyond a sweep to give us some time to recuperate, but that really doesn't seem like it will be happening.

Me and Smartacus are clammering for a Celtics vs Club Lebron show down. .....

lets get it done.

Bron does NOT want to fly back to Canada .....its a hassel and un focuses him and tires him......he has said he wants to finish it in Cleveland .

i think he will......he is avoiding the travel.....playing for something ......i expect he ll win

[SHAQATTACK]

A healthy Brown would be nice to guard Whiner ....but ......i don't expect raptors to win .....i think they get blown out ...

Lebron lives in Lowry and Demars head

Makes you glad that we don't have to root for them.
