Raptors have a great team, better than what they've had in recent years. I'm rooting for them to make the finals and face the Rockets, Blazers, or Thunder so we don't get Cavs/Warriors 4. But their recent playoff win total don't mean shit when the competition from teams 3-6 on the list isn't great. The monkey won't leave until the Cavs are eliminated in the playoffs.

I hope you guys continue to struggle and stay in that 8th spot

Miami or Milwaukee will give your team hell in round 1.

I understand why you would want Miami though considering Milwaukee beat the Raptors ass in Toronto a few weeks ago. I would be scared of them if I were you also

Um ok
They beat us in OT the first game after the all star break. I remember that because it was the last time we lost a game

Bucks or the Heat go down in no more than 5

Been busy for a while, but good game between the Lakers and Heat. Congrats with the win @bksballer89 @TurnUpTheHeat @Heatles84

Best bit of officiating i've seen all year is when they changed the shot-clock from 0.5 seconds to 24 seconds in the Heats favor with less than a minute to go.

Whatever dude

No team in the NBA scares the Raptors anymore

21-4 in the last 25
this was their 8th game in the last 13 days

Great game by westbrook and the thunder. Cant win them all. Id love to see these guys in the finals. would be a hell of a series

I hope you are right and the Raptors win the East. But you can't be all butthurt when most fans don't believe it until they see it. Why not just look forward to the playoffs when we'll see what's up? Have a little more fun here, you guys look as good as ever right now.

Really starting to think Hassan Whiteside is soft and a big pussy.

A little minor hip injury that he didn't even hurt during a game has caused him to miss his 5th game as he will miss the game tomorrow night. Every little injury and this dude is out nearly two weeks at minimum

Meanwhile, Steven Adams had the same exact injury and only missed a game.

And on 22 shots. Russ showing the triple double record was no fluke.

Russ is terrific, one of the most fun players to watch in the NBA if not the most fun. Hope he gets a ring in a few years.

As someone that has seen pretty much every game he has played I can say it’s been fun to watch his transformation. I remember watching him get to the rim at will and not being able to finish at a high percentage, that has definitively changed, he is deadly at the rim at full speed. Not a knock on KD but Russ has really blossomed since he left, it was just a chemistry problem.

Yeah ther games just did not mesh well. It's a testament to how good they are that they got close to winning it all even with that issue.

I don't see Whiteside on the Heat next year. I see Riley trying to deal him.

Tell me though,

whose game does actually mesh well with Russ?

No star who actually needs to have the ball. That is for sure.

Does Paul George need the ball? I think they mesh pretty well together. I get your point, but if anyone watching the game today thought any other player in the world needed more more touches with Russ playing like that they don’t know much. He is just capable of things no one in the league can do..
