Is this series a forgone conclusion already? Will Toronto mange to get one win at home?
Is this just a distraction on the way to the Game of Thrones finale?

It's a series in which many get their heads cut off, just like Portland and Toronto are in the conference championships.

I suspect it will be a sweep by the guys my avatar represents.

I feel like Toronto is too good to be swept. I don’t expect any meaningful defensive adjustments but I do think they’ll at least eke out one or two games. They have to come out energized tonight and play hungry, and they NEED offense from Lowry, Siakam and Ibaka.
If they fail to make a dent in this series, Kawhi is gone for sure.

That is what is going on. Bucks will have to get it together and come back somehow in the 2nd half. At least they are not too far behind where it's impossible to catch up.

Giannis actually called for a travel? He doesn't get to take 3 steps whenever he wants?
Green and Gasol, 2 veterans who were supposed to help come playoff time, haven't looked very good.

Do the Finals start earlier if both these series are sweeps?
Warriors need time for KD/boogie.

Raptors are blowing this. Keep giving Van Fleet shots, Siakam is a foot behind the foul line missing shots.

They gave him that blatant travel in the second quarter. Dude took one dribble from halfcourt and took like 6 steps to the basket. I get that the NBA tends not to call traveling unless it's blatant, but that was fucking blatant.
The other night Curry double dribbled but he knew it and blamed himself, not the refs. If some players owned up to at least some of their mistakes, they might get more sympathy from the refs.

Bucks' entire starting lineup was putrid from the floor.
Giannis 5 - 16
Middleton 3 -16
Bledsoe 3 - 16
Mirotic 3 - 11
Meanwhile Brook Lopez took 7 of his 10 shots from beyond the arc, and Gasol took 8 of 10 from three. When motherfucking CENTERS are hoisting up 70% + shots from downtown, something is very wrong with this league.
Giannis has enough shooters around him, he really needs to stop fucking around trying to be a jump shooter and take the ball to the rim.

If the Cheatriots was an NBA team instead, they would move mountains and have the league revolve around them to make sure they get into the playoffs, championship and win just as the NFL does for them and they would schedule on the terms of the team.

It was the night for the Raptors who were on fire and kept the flame burning the whole game.

The NFL should've stripped the Cheatriots of their championships for cheating just like how the Kentucky Derby stripped a horse of the win because of cheating. But Commissioner Goodell is Robert Kraft's best friend so Goodell has always given the Cheatriots nothing more than a slap on the wrist for years of egregious cheating.

How did the Patriots get into an NBA conversation..... Because me and DC Fan share a common hatred of them and I wanted to keep our bond over that hatred going. That's why.
