Wait how is the playoff format in the bubble? Is there still an east/West?

Good game Raptors, i am happy with the Lakers’ benches. Not happy with the starters but props to the Raptors gameplan.
Missing too many wide open 3 did not help too.

AD so passive tonight. Might be because he’s facing real big men tonight instead of Patrick Patterson on Thursday?

Raps have pride, man.

Gotta respect.
** Embiid is the only MVP in NBA history to never make a conference final
** Philly won multiple playoff games without MVP Embiid, including a 2nd-round game on the road
** LeBron missed the playoffs with Davis
** Steph missed the playoffs without Klay

Kyle Lowry is just fantastic, man. I've always loved his game. He's just always moving and making things happen. His jersey's definitely gonna be retired to the rafters.

That FVV to OG alley-oop was amazing. I know I shouldn't, but I just love this Raptors team. Can't wait for my Celtics to face them in the playoffs.

That's the blueprint, can't say that it's a big secret though.

Nobody talks about Raptors being able to take out MIL in the East and frankly I have no idea if these media heads have watched them this year. They’re gonna be a damn tough out in the playoffs
