Still a bajillion x-factors. Cousins looked good off the bench today and probably sees his minutes go up as he gets some stamina back and he can run the floor again in transition. So he can change Pascal's effectiveness. Durant is another obvious one with his length.

Just gonna enjoy every win, one at a time.

I'm pretty sure he tore his achilles. It sure looked 100% like that.

They are calling it a calf strain....

Iguodala appeared to hurt his quad or hamstring late in the game.

If Iguodala is hurt, that could be a serious problem for them if Durant still can't go.

And to be honest, the more I've watched the more I understand and the more I understand the more I've appreciated the sport. NHWho?
less to do with the sport and more to do with the rooting interest...only Canadian team in the league.

that being said I have watched more than 10 mins of basketball for the first time in my life

I'd recommend everyone to watch the American ABC broadcast as opposed to our trash Canadian broadcast team. So glossy and a million times better, commentators being the huge edge. Mike Breen, Jeff van gundy, and mark Jackson are as good as it gets. I physically can't listen to Matty Devlin call guys by their first names and say "From [INSERT RANDOM CANADIAN CITY]!" when somebody hits a three. The only annoying thing is Mike Breen pronounces the second T in Toron-To but it's a small price to pay to get away from Sportsnet.

I switched to ABC early on. The Sportsnet broadcast was terrible.

I preferred the picture on Sportsnet. The picture on abc(shaw 200) looked like it was tuned down. I don't really care about the commentators, I had it quite low so my son could sleep.

That was a very enjoyable game, the only thing unpleasant was it looked during the anthem like some moron at the game was wearing an Oilers jersey. Wrong sport and wrong team, it's even more out of place then wearing an Oilers jersey to Lake Louise.

Yes, since 2014 and prior to 1985, the 7 game finals format is the same (2-2-1-1-1).

Siakam was just incredible! That block he had on Green was just soooo satisfying. Siakam has been a gift that keeps on giving this season, what a ####ing stud!

Very professional performance. It was very much a must win game if they want to win the series because of the Warriors layoff. Gasol with probably his best game as a Raptor and if he can keep up even 80% of that then they'll have more than a chance to win.

I found that ABC was a good 5-10 Secs behind the Sportsnet feed, and the picture quality on ABC was terrible.

I agree and the commentating on ABC didn’t do some of the raptors plays justice. Like the Siakam block for example deserved a much better call. That block was incredible

SNet and TSN do a great job. Van Gundy complains about officiating so much it gets tiresome.

I am completely fine with the only Canadian team getting a homer broadcast on a Canadian channel.
