Hopefully Tony Brothers isn't officiating.

So normal officiating for the series?

PG - " we playing like it's regular season, I think there's one guy that doing an amazing amazing job and that is Valanciunas, we got to match their physicality"

PG loves JV's game :o


The exact quote was:

" We're failing to be the physical team. And um... I think there is one guy in particular who is doing that, and doing that as an amazing, amazing job, and that's Valanciunas. We have to match HIS physicality, and uh, we're not doing that. "

PG confirmed for JV fan. He must have a copy of the SSJ JV gif saved to his HD, too.

This series:

0-1 when the game is on Sportsnet.

2-0 when it's on TSN.

If we lose next game, I'm blaming it on Leo and Sportsnet, as well as OakleyDokely's post.

Meanwhile, DeRozan -- who was third in FT attempts/game in the regular season -- had none in Game 2 for the first time all year.

Houston blowing a 17pt lead to GS with no Curry. Raps hold onto 17pt win for the double digit victory.

Must be so frustrating for Indiana to have to focus your defence on DD/Lowry only for Valanciunas to dominate. Then they focused on Valanciunas today and Carroll and the bench stepped up.

Someone needs to make a gif of DD's assist on the Lowry dagger 3. It's a classic.

All Playoff games should be on TSN from now on. Leo can go cast some NHL Playoff games. Raptors need all the karma they can.

The pacers didn't even wait till after the game was over to hold a players only meeting, they had one to start the second half.

We can say this about every game in the series but the next one is a make or break. Go up 3-1 takes the life out of them vs 2-2 gives them momentum going into Toronto.

Looks like the Heat are gonna sweep the LolCats so taking our time with the Pacers is clearly costly.

If we have a chance in the second round Lowry and Derozan still need to play much better then today. I don't care what the defence is and Kyle is obviously a bit injured but they both need to get into that third gear right now.

The shootinv percentage between the two is horrific and you need to make your shots.

Lowry by the end of the night was making some classic shots. I love how he had adapted his game to facilitate more, but he is our mvp and he has to find ways to impact scoring wise.

Derozan too. He started hot but needs to find a way to continue to open the floor for everyone. Jack and everyone is right about passing it out when drawing defenders, it's actually really important, but Derozan has to find a way and willfully force his way to score.

Will it and put heart/IQ into his shots. Not change his game but be more smarter and 10X more agressive. He needs to have a fire lit under his ass.

These guys are still young as a team playoff experience wise and have folded because of last years sweep. But if a kid like Corey Joseph is lighting the Pacers up, then demar for all his glorified handles and off season work outs, needs to step up. Kudos to Lowry.

If our all-stars get going, Demarre playing at a high intensity level, and Jonas giving us that interior scoring, alongside 2pat/Corey/Powell/Ross, we CAN beat Miami.

They are not as gritty and defensive as the Pacers, and don't have the personel to guard our guys either (other then whiteside).
