Lowry tried to go fancy and it messed up their possession

Okay, so I'm not crazy, then. Lowry really did try to nutmeg Harris in the final minute of a crucial playoff game, didn't he?! 

He certainly did, and i have a feeling he’s going to get yelled at about it

Embiid 2 of 7 for 12 points with just 6 rebounds and the Sixers win on the road.  If they can ever get him healthy they could be a really scary team.  Sadly, I don't think he is ever going to be healthy.

Glade philly won ,  needed a good long series to soften Raps

Apparently he was dealing with a bout of gastro

There is only one undefeated team in the playoffs!

um, Toronto lost the first game it played in the playoffs.

I realize that. I just like the way it sounds! There's only one undefeated team in the playoffs!!!!

Toronto is soft

Well now the Celtics are becoming the hunted after becoming a hunter yesterday.

McHale is calling the Nuggets and Blazers game, nice!

Denver giving up lots of wide open looks to Portland shooters. If they're going to defend like this, Portland will drop 200 on them.

Wow, Kanter injured his own shoulder hanging on the rim. What an idiot!

He'd already hurt himself against OKC, so it's probably that carrying over I imagine

Yeah, he's playing with a separated shoulder.

Glad Philly won tonight.

If we advance past Milwaukee, I'd rather face them in the ECF than Toronto and I think a Boston/Philly match-up would just be really exciting for basketball in general.

Yeah, that's why it was so idiotic - he knew he was hurt and still did that. If he were healthy, hanging on the rim wouldn't hurt him. Eventually amusing though, afterwards he was tapping his own head in that self-critical Homer Simpson motion.

Lol, I didn't catch the play. Kanter has always seemed goofy

I would also love it if an early exit from the Raptors causes Kawhi to run home to LA and not consider Toronto as a place he wants to be. I personally think he is going to LAC regardless if he were to win or lose the title this season in Toronto but if a series loss to Philly causes him to completely forget about staying in Toronto, that's good by me.
