Good friend is an understatement.

In my opinion we want to avoid Washington because of mismatches. But they will likely win tonight @Orlando.

If both the Heat and the Bucks lose we get the Bucks. If both win we get the Heat. If one loses and the other one wins we get Washington.

The Bucks go to Philly while the Heat play at home against the Raptors. I'm hoping for both to lose.

For your own sanity, i'd advise you all stay out of all the Simmons/Mitchell threads on the GB.

I remember that one Wiz/Raptors game this year that I followed hard when we still had the first seed.

Toronto is in trouble. Washington is so jekyll n hyde.

Such an f'n joke lol

Also, I love how the media wants to make a huge deal out of this "Streak".. Who gives a ****?

He has scored under double digits multiple times in his career. MJ never did.

Boban Marjanovic put up 12 & 10 in 13 minutes tonight. I don't care if he is a defensive liability, I continue to fail to understand why he can't break out and play 25 minutes a night.

**** KD. He made his bed...if the Dubs get eliminated in the 1st round he deserves everything that comes his way. Doubtful but still the Warriors have been average since Curry' s been out so i wouldn't be surprised. Russ, AD, LeBron, Harden would all get the same treatment if they were in KD's shoes.

Raptors season recap:

Pro: Have the honor of raising another Atlantic division championship banner.
Cons:Have to play Wizards and Cavs in rounds 1 and 2.

I just read a boxscore from last night. They played Demar and Lowry 38 minutes each in a meaningless game, just to chase 60 wins? .........and they still lost?? They're fortunate that neither guy got injured.

They wanted to add a 60 win season banner to their collection, no shame in that.

Unfortunate for them they couldn’t close :lol:

Seems to be some discussion that VanVleet was injured, which would be a big loss if he's out a while.

Nah. Van Vleet is good but even if he were to miss the series, Toronto should still be able to beat the Wiz.

I was watching, 100% looked like a concussion. His eyes rolled back.
