Kaminsky really sucks. I remember a lot of people wanted us to draft him. He shot 33% from 3's, 41% from the field, and only grabbed 4 rebounds per game in 21 minutes. Is there anything he is actually good at?

Some team is going to max DeRozan. And while under the new cap given how he performs in the regular season he might be worth it, I'm glad it's not going to be the Celtics.

He and Lowry have been terrible so far.

Even though he is old for a rookie, bugs still take some time to adjust and develop. You can't rule him out yet. He could still be a nice player.

2-1. Heat roll over once the shots stop falling.

I'll give credit where credit is due and he had a big 3rd quarter for them.

Some team is gonna overpay for Jeremy Lin too.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Happy to see the Bobcats get their first ever playoff win (not first win since 2002 - that team is in New Orleans). This was done without MKG and Batum, too - good for them!

This is why the Raptors don't frighten anybody in the playoffs.  Even though I think they'll ultimately get past Indiana, their style and mentality just does not translate well to the playoffs.

What is it about them, though?  Is it that they're overly reliant on having a great bench?  Is it that they are not particularly good defensively, especially on the wing?

I'd say their perimeter defense will be their undoing. If you can't stop penetration than that will just put more pressure on guys they aren't exactly known for getting it done in the playoffs.

Durant tossed for whacking Justin Anderson in the head
I think he elbowed someone earlier in the series too
