Bucks and Lakers calming themselves down saying "Raptors lost Game 1 last year"

Silver on the phone trying to get Tim Donaghy to ref the rest of those series.

They did plenty. let so much physicality go for the Lakers. Lakers can’t shoot. It’s hard to help a team that misses constantly. They almost made Portland look like a good defensive team.

Didn't get to watch. So the refs did try? That's good because then the league has some leverage when the rights holders complain.

If the Lakers lose in the first round (which I don’t think they will) Davis should absolutely consider signing elsewhere. They’ve got zero assets and virtually no way to improve. Lebron will be done soon too.

I never understood the Lakers hype. That supporting cast is absolute garbage. No matter how good Lebron and AD you literally always have bums around them. Not one guy you can consistently count on.

Danny Green's nickname is literally IcyHot
McGee and Howard are garbage men
Kuzma is a defensive liability and chucker
KCP is bad
They have the crappy Morris twin
Caruso is an intangibles guy, can't be relied on to put up big stats. Gets elevated to cult status because he actually can make basic winning plays unlike the rest of the support.
JR Smith and Waiters... nothing needs to be said

They might get past the Blazers and Rockets but they have a 0% chance against the Clippers. 0%.

Clippers are the only team that scares me....even though I'm rooting against the Lakers since I like the Blazers underdog story, if the Raptors made it to the finals I'm pretty sure 95% of us would much rather face the Lakers over the Clippers.

AD looked SOFT as f***. Trading all of those assets away for that. WOW

I want to beat Kawhi.

Not out of bitterness, but because it would complete the narrative perfectly.

beating Lebron or Kawhi are equally satisfying to me....they're both great revenge stories.

He should sign with us if he were a smart man.

They watched the tape of the Raptors bubble game and fouled him and fouled him again. Just be physical and his jumper will fail. It disrupts their offense which can't go on a roll.

AD ain't built for the playoffs. Another reason why his Pels never got nowhere. Dude's soft af.

I wouldn't completely overlook Houston. They have a shot.

Man I was sad when Danny left, despite the fact that he mostly sucked in the playoffs. But this is new level of sucking... He is awful...
