No update on Lowry's injury yet? I thought we were supposed to hear about his expected timetable yesterday.

Even with Kyle out Fred Van Vleet has been looking like finals MVP mode and Toronto's 3rd PG Terrance Davis is pretty dam good.

But the Celtics should be ready to play a full roster Kyle Lowry is a tough guy no way he misses this series.
Why is it that every rookie and or player with no experience the raptors bring over to the nba turns out pretty good?
Like Bruno Caboclo and Lucas Nogueira? ;D

That's two games in a row that Smart has taken up points missed by Hayward's absence. If it continues this series is over in 5 maybe 6.

Smart has got Raptors fan turning cartwheels .  They can't believe the performances.

Smart has been denied in several playoffs ....he hates losing and the taste it leaves in the off season.

Saw the most hilariously blind take over on their RealGM forum:

He’s literally the most clutch player in the NBA playoffs in the past half decade.

They're talking about KYLE LOWRY! LOL!

Haha - yeah, that's rough. Just checked out Reddit. Surprisingly, the vast majority of the fans blame their team and not the refs. They also seem ready to run Siakam out of town and all of them seem to acknowledge that Tatum is better.

I was happy they won a Title last year - I actually really like Toronto and have spent extended time there. The people really are considerably nicer than Americans as a whole. But, I am ready to see them go down. A number of them don't seem to realize just how important Kawhi was to their run (ie, the number of time people said, 'we came back from 0-2 last year vs the Bucks').

Anyway, gotta love basking in their despair  :D

I was rooting for them at the beginning of their run last year, but I soured on them when their fans cheered KD's injury in the finals.  For being 'nicer than Americans', that was pretty gross. 

That aside... yeah, their time has come and gone.  Let's burn them down.

I'm changing my prediction to 4:2, Raptors in 4. They've got their shooting back, and their confidence, at the same time taken ours away. Game 4 is such a bad loss, we weren't playing good offence in any stretch. I don't see how we can recover from the series. Kudos to the raptors team, as a much older bunch they somehow looks more energetic.

Ok, who thinks that (G4) was the worst game of the year?
