OKC win or lose this series have been really impressive this playoffs. Raised their game a notch no doubt.

Steven Adams has finally given them that all-around big who doesn't disappear in big moments. I've barely paid attention to the guys career to this point but he has been huge in these playoffs for them. As has Kanter.

I used to laugh at how often travelling simply does not get called, but when you watch an NBA game you realize that if they did call travelling all the time, by the letter of the law, NBA games would be 10-15 minutes longer because of the additional stoppages. They always make the token call once or twice a game to show you they know its still a rule, but otherwise it's basically like holding in the NFL, they could call it almost every play.

There are four teams left and the choices label the Raptors as 'other'.

As of early on Tuesday, 'other' had more than 10% of the vote.

LOL...just saw on TSN that LeBron is 36-9 lifetime against the Raptors.

33-1 is an awfully low line IMO.

Not sure I would wager on them at anything less than 75-1 or so.

I think they get waxed in 4 or 5 but good lord do i hope i am wrong on that.

No lottery luck for the Raps, they stay at 9th. Only the Lakers moved up from 3 to 2.

I thought they said if the Raps won that Denver or whoever got the pick, no?


Also this Cleveland arena announcer is cringe worthy bad. It's Smithers on the Simpsons at the drag race bad.

There is one position where the raps are better on the starting line up and that's shooting guard. Everywhere is laughable how much better the cavs are. Without JV this is going to be tough.

^They get the lower of either the Knicks or Nuggets pick because of draft rights swapping. NBA is way more complex about trades but I like how it makes picks more intriguing. Bargnani and his awful deal for a top 10 pick? Oh Masai, you genius.

DeRozan looks great so far. Defense not so much.

D needs to tighten up for sure. Figured it would be something similar to this early. Definitely a feeling out process for them. Interesting to see how they adjust.

Got to stop the dribble penetration. Too many shooters to be playing help defence all the time.

Well this is a pretty big jump in quality of opponent. That the Raptors would get dominated is almost a given. I'm thinking at home though they can put up a really good effort!
