They're one of the best defensive teams this season. Incredible tough to score on them. Their D is keeping them in this game, they got a lot of long athletic defenders.

If/when Toronto gets through this round I'm super interested to see how Embiid does against Gasol's post D. Gonna be one of the biggest tests of his career.

We Embiid is actually healthy enought to play.

I turn it on right before the end of the half and was so annoyed at that crap. ESPN reporting as though they are the local sports media of the Lakers, not a national sports network that’s supposed to report on the league.

Toronto and Magic fans watching this game don’t give a crap about the freakin’ Lakers and LeBron, and us hard core NBA fans have already had our fill of the Lakers coaching search stuff.

Stuff like that is why I hope they go bankrupt and need to go off the air. I hate that I even have to even have them as a channel but I’m forced to so I can watch games like these. Curse SAS for carrying them.

That's why I don't even bother watching the ESPN feed. They're a disgrace. I'm only watching the local Tor or Orl feed. At least you get some good relevant basketball discussion from the local point of view. Got no time for ESPN and their trash.

I tuned in hoping for Doris or maybe Hubie (is he only on radio now?) and instead got PJ Carlesimo..

I've read your board's takes when we got Gasol. Lots of Bucks fans clowning us getting Gasol for Val, Delon and CJ. Getting Gasol was always about the postseason. If we get past Orlando we would eventually be in a matchup with Embiid and eventually the Bucks. Val has been very good for us but he wouldn't be as nearly as effective as Gasol has been. Delon we were going to lose him in free agency anyways because we couldn't afford him. CJ's just a bad contract.

We're seeing the reason we got Gasol as we speak in this series. He's been awesome. Masai is a smart smart man.

Stupid move by Gasol. You have 3, don't go for the strip there.

Ibaka comes in Orlando takes advantage. That 50 year old man is terrible

Gasol needs to be on the floor for every single second that Vuc is on the floor. Vuc keeps scoring every time Gasol sits. It's hilarious at this point.

Vuc didn't waste any time going into the paint without Gasol to worry about.

Gordon is doing a good job of setting up his teammates

Jesus Ibaka is tough to watch.
