None of these East teams got any offense. Those west teams will blow the doors off of these East.


Orlando is a great defensive team. Give them some credit.

Siakam is an insane player.


If lowry hit at least two of the shots he missed in game one, it would be 3-0 now. So I don't know about that.

SMH it's a one game sample. Which team other than GSW would Toronto not be favourted against in the West?

Can't believe Isaac wasn't on the floor the last 4 minutes.

Whatever. GG. Siakam is a beast.


Nurse adjusted defensive coverage on DJ, hence the results.

Wild game down the stretch. I wish T-Ross could have done these kinds of things for the Raps in the Playoffs.

Orlando is a very good team. It was never going to be easy against them.

Magic have the 3rd best record in the NBA since the all-star break. Oh, they also beat the Warriors during that stretch. This is a good team.

Like the Warriors should have swept the Clippers...



West is overrated

Playoffs are about defense.

East teams have that grit

Raptors - 9-10
Magic - 22-23

Here is the dumb thing, they got caught trying to control the narrative and failed. This series is essentially over now because they are going to try and save face by favouring the Raptors in the remaining two games of the series. Its so stupid how the NBA does this crap.


No ones trying to control the narrative smh.

Citing free throws in a small sample is such a horrible way to look at things

Good game. Congrats to eh Raptors. KL was more or less shut down but they have another one to take up the cudgels. When Vuc was stopped, we had no one else to take over.

Why is Derrick White dropping more points on Jamal Murray than Kyle Lowry on DJ?

A DJ/Vuc PnR should be barbeque chicken, yet cats can't score.

Tony Brothers put the clamps on Kawhi..deserves DPOY...it was very impressive, not a lot of players can stop Kawhi like that.

Raps did well despite it being 8 vs 5 again. Kawhi with a sht game and FVV still crapping the bed.

Tony Brothers FTW



I don't want to look for the whole ref excuse but
Orlando 23 to Toronto 10 in FT's tonight.

Orlando 24 to Toronto 17 in game 2.

Orlando 20 to Toronto 14 in Game 1.

That's Orlando 67 to Toronto 41 in first 3 games.

Even today, questionable calls to give Orlando the
penalties with more than 6 mins left in the 3rd and 4th.

Win is a win. I wanted this series as I knew Orlando would be a really tough opponent.

They haven't won a game three on the road since 2016, so not an easy win.
