Yeah the bucks peaked. Lopez overachieved anyway.

Toronto has some extreme flaws in important games, but they're super deep defensively. They are better. I had them winning it regardless even when they were down 0-2.

This isn't new information though, it's the same stuff that was out there at the time of the deal. The Knicks fan Twitter account who posted this should be embarrassed for thinking it was some kind of scoop. :lol:

I’m surprised this Drake thing is newsworthy. Him laughing at Giannis and rubbing Nurse’s shoulders.

Isn’t Drake an actual employee of the Raptors? Think he’s the ambassador or something. It’s kinda okay with me if he’s doing all of these antics. And it also seems like it’s working if Budenholzer is talking about it.

At one point it definitely seems like he was getting the crowed into it when Giannis missed a ft. It’s kinda okay with me really. Toronto needed those home court wins, and if the crowd is fired up then even better.

Drake is a joke. Trash "artist", lame music. Fake.

I'm glad we don't have such a ridiculous midget clown mascot.

I was certain the Raptors would come back, but they really weren't robbed by the refs. When Giannis fouled out early in overtime, it really wasn't a good call.

The Raptors should advance now and they'll hang with the Warriors. I think this one might end in six, maybe seven. Then the Warriors win 4-2 vs Toronto (or sweep the Bucks).

"Going back to Europe" meaning to rehab, not to sign a contract and play there.

February 6th:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/06/sports/basketball/porzingis-mavericks-knicks.html

The Knicks, meanwhile, were told Porzingis was prepared to leave the team and continue his knee rehabilitation in Spain if he was not moved by Thursday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline.
