Lol, I just checked the scores and had assumed it was the 4th quarter. Toronto letting Brooklyn drop nearly 30 points a quarter is crazy!

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
meh

twisted ankle ,  he ll be ok in a few days

nets suck so bad , they still can't win the game

Well they are missing Durant, Irving, Jordan, Dinwiddie, Chandler, Claxton and now Harris...though I agree it would be nice to have them stretch the Raptors somewhat  :-\

I am not in favor of a top 16 seeding format, but I really would have liked to see the Suns and Grizz take the Nets and Magic spots in the playoffs this year - those teams are just missing too many of their good players.

Hoping the Cs come out and totally destroy the Raps in the 1st game. They will have forgotten what actual competitive NBA basketball is by the time the series starts.

Idk when’s the last time I watched a non-Celtics game but LAC MAVs was worth it.

Holy cow.  I was out and about and missed the game, but the highlights are pretty spectacular!

Well, the Nets are basically starting what would have been their bench outside of one or two players, and what would be the bench on most playoff teams.

MPJ is a reaaaally bad defensive player. Bad footwork, bad stance, and bad awareness

Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Per Nurse, Lowry’s injury is with “the arch of his foot” not the ankle. No clue what that means, but doesn’t sound good.

the most common foot arch injury is plantar fasciitis

Yeah, if so, that's what basically kept Sabonis out of the playoffs completely. It depends on the degree of plantar fasciitis though.

I've seen so many players compared to Bird over the years and not one of them was Bird like, until now. Luka has a very Bird-like game.

Is anyone surprised the Jazz are managing to slowly take over this series against the Nuggets? Donovan Mitchell is quietly putting up a superb playoff run so far.
