    Just finished watching the Bucks Raptors game and I liked the adjustments Nick Nurse made on Giannis. Great to limit his offensive impact. Guy still had 23 rebounds though.

    One thing I noticed is Drake... what an absolute tool. I don’t know his music but he acts like a fool and looks like one too.

    That's in our favor hopefully ... HA. As well as the stoopid Clippers mascot.

    The crowd sounded like they were really into it from the highlight clip I watched. Probably the most exciting thing to happen in Toronto since ever.

    Kawhi Leonard has really made me a fan of his with these POs. I'd be delighted if he somehow ended up here for obvious reason, but if he doesn't, that's not going to change the amount of respect he's earned in these PO. As Lakers fans, we were kinda against Toronto because bad results might've given us better chances to land Kawhi, but then again, had Toronto and Kawhi played bad these Playoffs, right now I wouldn't have the respect I now have for Kawhi. I would've still loved for him to come here, but it would've been nowhere near to what it would mean now.

    I have no idea what Kawhi will do this summer. I really hope he chooses the Lakers though I know colors aside I would never pick the Lakers today if I were him (saddens me to say this). If he doesn't pick the Lakers, I hope he goes to a team I can like to some extent (staying in Toronto would be fine, going to the Clippers would kinda suck).

    Amazing POs by Kawhi.

    Yes, but hockey hasn’t been good in Toronto for a minute right?

    Kawhi basically closed out the 2OT for the Raptors.

    If I were Kawhi, I either stay in Toronto or go to the Clippers. Rivers, Frank and West have that franchise positioned very well right now- stable FO, good coach, great owner, lots of payroll flexibility, draft picks, no aging/ difficult to play with superstar, goo roster mix of able vets and promising youngsters. I am ready for Jeannie to sell the team, frankly. I hate having to admit that the Clippers are a much better destination right now.

    Man, if you’re Portland, it’s got to sting like hell knowing you could/should be up 3-1 right now instead of teetering on elimination. They’ve blown 15+ point leads in 3 games in row. Might have even been 17 in game 2, 18 in game 3, and 17 again tonight, hard to keep track.

    That was a great game regardless of who you were rooting for. The Warriors become so much easier to watch without Durant, just a good team that moves the ball extremely well, plays great defense, feels like an actual team. Add Durant and it feels like some little kid playing 2K that doesn’t like losing so he puts all the best players on one team. I hope Durant goes elsewhere this offseason, I’ve missed parity in the NBA, and if GS wins it all without him at least they earned it with that original roster with a worse bench, and no Iggy in this game too. I’m glad Durant did his job in keeping Houston ringless for a few years, but he can move on now please.

    Warriors look great right now but this is also partly because Portland just isn't that good. So you look better naturally.
