I'm a little surprised Kidd has kept Monroe on the bench so long. Toronto has real trouble with him.

Tucker just choked at the FT line for the Raptors. Dead on choke.

Bucks would have sewn this thing up except Brogdan and Delavedova each missed WIDE OPEN 3's.

Yeah frustrating. Kidd's full possession ISO play for Antetokounmpo didn't help much.

Its like Rondo and Wade turned it up a few notches for the playoffs. This is not a wade or rondo i have seen this year. It is scary because rondo is crashing the boards and driving at will. Wade is playing a few years younger... wtf happened!?!?!

Meh, Wade hasn't done much, but Rondo has been amazing.

He's played very well in my eyes (of course when you don't compare it to Miami Wade). He went way above the rim last game for a block. Shocked me.

He has the old man Jordan vibe going on.

I agree and Rondo working on that Triple Double where the points are going to barely approach 15. He is playing ball

Game. Lowry just shook off some demons there.

It was a great game all around. Both teams deserve credit.

Raptors escape LOL

Robin Lopez is just mauling that Celtics frontline too - they started Zeller in the 3rd, but he's still tearing them up with offensive rebounds and general intensity.

He's totally nailing the 20 footer too.

Toronto wins, but man, they don't look very good.

Not a fan of DeRozan. He provides no spacing, dribbles the air out of the ball, relies too much on the refs and is a weak defender. Beal is clearly better, at least this season.

Good...I want this to go 7...while we sit at home after a 4 sweep!

Beal is clearly better....at what? I love Beal and I think Beal will get there...but Derozen is a MONSTER offensively and Beal cant "dribble" well enough yet.

I would take him...but of the 3s that I would want...I would take Gordon Hayward before him. I know he is a lot more talented than Gordon but i think Gordon would mesh better with us because he wouldn't try to usurp Walls leadership with crazy comments like..."i gotta take the last shot"...while shooting 0-15 within the last 15 seconds of a game ending...which makes him delusional and unclutch

Yes Wiz needs guys who plays team basketball and accept Wall's lidership. Gordon would be my pick too but he won't leave Utah

I think he is leaving and Boston and Washington have a chance. I honestly think we have a chance to get any top end free agent this summer because Wall and Beal look like legit cornerstones. I hope wall makes a all nba team so we can super max him.

Lopez has become one of the very best shooting big men in the game. There's Dirk, Jason Smith, and Lopez.

The Wizards don't have any cap room. They only chance they have is if somehow Utah agrees to a double S&T for Porter, but I don't see how that's going to work out. Neither agent will agree to it unless their clients are getting the max, and if both teams are willing to pay the max, there's no logic to making the trade.

DeRozan is not even remotely a monster. He can't shoot 3s and is nothing more than a 1 dimensional iso player that isn't efficient when he doesn't get the calls.

Wade/Butler/Rondo are going nuts right now.

Thank you for explaining why EG is such a good GM!
