Green gets beat backdoor, Pop immediately sends Simmons to the scorer's table.

Butler: 53 points (15/30: 50%), 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals in 48 minutes.

I hope Butler gets in over Irving. He's been playing like a beast all season.

Super fun game. Lots of heart from this Philly team despite a severe lack of talent.

Mozgov has been atrociously bad this season. Did that knee surgery really affect him that much?

Cavs will not win the finals unless they trade love, I've been saying this forever, tubs of fat like Love and JV are huge liabilities and their offence won't be enough to make up for horrible defence. In today's NBA you need 4 starting players to be plus defender in order to win.

Unless Wiggins shows drastic improvement in his handles and passing he's looking more like Rudy Gay every game.

JV has hardly been a liability defensively this season. If anything it looks like Demar has been the liability. Raptors defense has been .9 pts/100 possessions better with JV off the floor. Not really significant. Offense has been 7.5 points worse/100 possessions with him off the floor. That's a pretty good effect on the offense, without any significant defensive lapse.

With DD the Raptors are 7 points better defensively/100 possessions with him off the floor. 7 points better. Even last year where JV was struggling to guard PnR more the team was only better defensively by 1.6 points/100 possessions when he was off the floor.

Russ already with a triple double in 3 quarters of play

Noah now injured, dislocated shoulder. Bulls are looking like a Rehab Center.

Cameron Payne seems like a solid PG. This is the 1st game I've seen him play but he's impressed.
