Around the NBA - Blazing into the Conference Finals

[Knicksfan1992]

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.

Thanksgiving is once a year. The rest of the time I'll take my turkey in a sandwich with swiss cheese and mustard, hold the Drake.

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

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

We do.... his name is Spike Lee

They should be up 3-1, but I still have them winning in six. Bucks are done.

how long you been holding on to this one? when this doesn’t happen I won’t quote you because I don’t care.

both getting slaughtered by the dubs after what I saw tn.

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).

think it’s far from a forgone conclusion and I don’t trust the raptors role players on the road or in a game 7 so I’m still favoring the bucks. can’t see the raptors putting up a better fight then the bucks against the dubs either. gasol would be un-playable in that series for starters.

Which buck outside their top two gives you the feeling they could do anything valuable going forward? Granted, Bledsoe is better than Lowry, but he's the fifth best player in Toronto at best.

I’d argue Lowry has been the raptors 2nd best player and Bledsoe has been awful the past 2 series so there might be a disconnect there.

Still trust the bucks depth of guys like hill, lopez, and brogdon over the raptors bench. bucks guards will give the warriors much more problems defensively then toronto. bledsoe, brogdan, and middleton all great defenders.

coaching (which still matters) it’s not even close. nurse has been awful this entire postseason and would get embarrassed by kerr. bud will make adjustments.

Watch this man get told he's lost $31 million...by the very people who took it from him. This is a pretty heavy moment.

addition of brogdan to the starting lineup. another brilliant adjustment by bud while nurse is stuck on stupid.

I like Brogdon for us. Drives shammgod crazy. But I’m serious.

[HarthorneWingo]

Anyone here think that Kornet has poor-man’s Mirotic potential?

like him too but he’s not worth the poison pill offer it would take to acquire him.

What do you think that number is? Bucks have cap issues.

[LookToShoot]

Van Vleet plays like a coward. Sit his behind on the bench.

[HarthorneWingo]

Love the scowl

[HarthorneWingo]

Anyone know what the stats are for the % of 3s taken per game league wide during the playoffs vs the regular season. It seems to me that it would be less during the playoffs

I think he could get 80 so maybe 100+ with trade kickers?

My heart bleeds for him. He will only get $191 million...

If he wants recognition, he needs to get off the Wartiors and stop living in Currys shadow, just like what we are hoping KD does

Two year 15mm/year deal would be tough if they intend to bring back Lopez and Mirotic on market level contracts. I just don’t know why we would want to do it.

[LookToShoot]

Raptors offense: senseless dribbling and passing. Give ball to Siakam to create something with 5 seconds on the shot clock.

[god shammgod]

this 4th about to be good

[god shammgod]

please stop indulging wingo

[HarthorneWingo]

I thought Kawhi’s tip was goaltending
