Feel like the Raps haven't lost since Vince was in his 30s.

Hats off to the Raptors. Great organization, great system, great coach, great team.

At the risk of jinxing it, the Kings are currently ‘3 pointing’ the Heat into the ground in Q4.
Gooooo Kings!

Kings are pulling away from the Heat, which would help us pull away from them in the standings. Pacers lost today too.

Celtics have a pretty tough schedule coming up rest of February - especially compared to TOR, MIA, and PHI.

2 games up on MIA is huge. Need the 2-3 seed for playoffs

Kings doing us a big solid.

2. Raps 38-14
3. Celts 36-15

4. Heat 34-17

5. Sixers 32-21
6. Pacers 31-21

First priority is to get the 2 seed to 1) avoid the Bucks until the ECF; 2) get HCA in
both Rounds 1 & 2; & 3) get the Nets or the Magic in Round 1.
Second priority is to get the Pacers rather than the Sixers as our opponent in Round 1 if we end up the 3 seed (I think the Sixers will get it together before the POs & their size is a problem).

Dame with very bad shot selection this game. Same thing happened in the playoffs last year. :nonono:

Dame needs to score 60 again on Sunday VS the Heat.

Yes he is. Either way, sucks for us.

I’ve heard Toronto has interest in Giannis but not that Giannis has interest in Toronto. Where’s this coming from?

As good as Milwaukee is they have no true second star. Put a guy like Siakim next to Giannis and we’re looking at another Miami Heat / Durant Warriors level of dominance.

Him and Masai are very close, Masai helped place Giannis family years ago. Toronto is one of the most diverse cities in the world, and they have built one hell of a system.

If the Bucks lose before the finals (MAYBE if they lose in the ECF if it's a great series), I dont think Giannis signs the supermax.

Its not true masai was 21 when antes came to greece and we had a big nigerian community here,i dont know how this rumor started but its false.

Houston 6'6 team : 29 rebounds
Phoenix Suns : 51 rebounds

I'm excited for Houston. I want a team of 15 wings to just go out and destroy the league. Run hockey lineups, every lineup gets 4-6 minutes of extreme ballhawking and sprinting, then switch out.

Yeah, if you miss 56 shots and the opponent misses 34, there will be a large rebounding discrepancy.

Dunno what the point of it is, but Wizards apparently trying to make a run at 8th seed. They're only 5 games behind the Nets. Would be really amusing if the "regular season doesn't matter" guy and Brooklyn didn't make the playoffs.

If you have the time, here is an article that is well worth the read. Not just for basketball purposes, but for humanitarian reasons. Masai found another incredible human being to add to the organization and culture. The last paragraph is especially telling of one of the foundations of what we look for.

Chan is on the lookout for specific things when she’s meeting young African players.
“First thing I look at is his intelligence, and character,” Chan said. “And then the talent is the last thing and within that talent, how athletic is he? How strong is he, how is his vertical, how is his work ethic, how would he fit with the Raptors? I watch closely when they’re warming up because that’s when most people think it doesn’t matter, but it really does matter, because you’re preparing. How does he go to war?”

That is some real ****
