Yeah but Lou Williams has basically taken over for him. Good lord.

Doncic beating the Clippers by himself. 40 point triple-double.

Terrible coaching by Rick Carlisle. Why would you put the ball in the backcourt in that situation? Get pressure right away and make them use their foul. Now you have to get a basket or draw a foul in 3.7 seconds. So dumb.

OH MY GOD. What a shot by LUKA! Holy crap that is the best thing that's happened in the bubble so far.

43 points, 17 rebounds, 13 assists on a sore ankle that he was getting worked on when he was off the court.. That is the best player in the league. Holy Christ.

yeah but equally dumb by Rivers, why take Leonard off of Doncic the last two possessions?

These teams are shooting the lights out early on.

All of the best opening series are in the West. Top of both conferences are pretty equal, but the middle tier of the west is just so strong compared to the middle tier of the east.

Real good start so far. Credit to Nets for bringing their game in a series I'm sure they're expecting to lose now that they're down 3-0.

A Lowry injury would be a crushing blow against Boston.

Alright, it's bench time, where the Raps put games out of reach for their opponents

I think Lowry will be alright after a few days with treatment - looks like a sprain (which can sometimes be bad). The positive was he stayed in the game to start the timeout. Regardless, I hope the coaching staff keep him out this game.



39 points in one quarter for the Raps. They're looking pretty damn good.

They don't need Lowry when they have Powell. They will against Boston, of course.

The fact that they're up when Brooklyn is hitting everything tells you a lot about the quality of this roster.

Raptors might put up 80 this half. Nets have decided not to defend and play this out

Yup, was just about to say that. Raps are playing very well, and the Nets are right there with them.

The Raps bench is so ridiculously good.

I'd be curious about the larger Toronto lineups against the Celtics. Philly's large lineups got pretty soundly beat, but Toronto's big lineups are versatile and could still give the Celtics a lot of trouble on the boards.
