Series Thread: 2) Toronto Raptors (56-26) vs. 7) Indiana Pacers (45-37)

[Bloody Brian Burke]

After such a strong game 3, I don't know how the hell you come out with that.

Even if this team somehow gets by the Pacers, they're going to get creamed in the second round. Pathetic.

Lowry & DeRozan: 8-27 FG in Game 4.
They are shooting 30.8% in this series, the worst of any starting backcourt in the playoffs.

Last couple of years, it seems like its always both of them suck at the same time. It's never just one struggles and the other can still carry the load. Both struggle and Toronto is just screwed

They never had a good series together. They sucked all 3 years

Yeah, I think they are both showing that, while they are very good players, if they are ever going to get a championship, they will need to be #2 and #3 options. Neither of these guys are going to be leading a team to get there.

If pacers win game 5, pretty good chance they lock it up in 6

Half-hoping they do. This is actually embarrassing now and I want them to be humiliated so badly that they completely change things up in the off-season.

I was fine with the noon start time for game 1 but 6 pm on a fucking Tuesday? Are you serious with this shit NBA?

Not very smart scheduling. Hell, many people are still at work.

Just saw the news with the Clippers. Man, that's some awful luck. There's a solid chance they won't even get past Portland now.

Starts at 3:00pm out here. Lots of people are going to miss nearly the whole game. Fortunately, I work mainly from home, so I'm not one of them.

I used to think the Clippers were just a bad, horribly run franchise.

Now, I'm convinced they are cursed. Like, Chicago Cubs kind of cursed.

Really sucks if you're a Raptors or Pacers fan out west. Just bad scheduling period. They're trying to fit too many damn games in one night.

Why the hell does Pitbull get so many NBA intros? He's awful.

Probably both.

Man, Cleveland is going to be so well rested if we win our series.

Ah, good to see Carroll is starting again. I heard he was on the bench for a while when recovering.

For anyone that follows the Raptors, how has Carroll done in Toronto when healthy?
