We just tryna hold on until Dort can have a chance to come back. If we are fortunate enough to make it to the finals, I believe that’ll be enough time for him to return as a contributor again.

Congrats to the last 4 standing!

TOR vs DET should be a battle. Both teams with a ton of talent

SAS vs LAC will be fun. Spurs have all the accolades you could imagine as of late but this Clippers team is clicking on all cylinders

Look forward to seeing how these matchups play out!

Major respect to Hezi for putting together a tough team and a strategy that almost took me out. He very well might have if Richards didn't get hurt, which was a tough mid-series blow. Especially with your inside game killing me. It took a couple of iterations to counter and I know you'll be back stronger next year with that boat of cap space.

On to my first conference finals. Been fighting for years to break through and who's here waiting of course???

But we've been preparing for this.

Watch on YouTube

Boosh. Take the contact. Boosh.

THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KARL TOWNS AND RUDY GOBERT!!!

SGA vs Towns.

Towns vs.... JOKER???

Remember, BAF imitates life. Stay tuned Knicks fans

You can do it Cap, we believe in you!

The Toronto Raptors beat the Detroit Pistons for a 126-121 road victory at Little Caesars Arena, to take a 1-0 Eastern Conference Finals lead.

The Raptors balanced scoring attack, featured them shooting a scorching 59% from the field and 68% from three. Seven players scored in double figures, including all eight rotational players scoring at least 8 points.

Derrick White put forth a blistering shooting performance to lead the team, only missing one shot all night, while locking up Desmond Bane defensively. Jrue Holiday provided additional scoring out of the backcourt and held Luka Doncic to an abysmal night from the field.

Rudy Gobert notched a triple-double and Victor Wembanyama had a solid all-around performance, while forcing Anthony Davis into an inefficient scoring night.

Game 2 stays in Detroit on Tuesday, May 13th.

That was a ridiculous game and apparently sim Jokic didn't like the video I posted so he broke sim Towns.

Like I've always said, dastardly.
