Houston
. I still don't believe Steph will stay healthy .

Houston lost me when they lost to this bum *** Utah team

Philly has already made more threes this game than they did in Game 1. Shooting 46% from beyond the arc. 15 from RedicKKK, 12 from Covington, Double Double from Embiid. Meanwhile only 5 points for Tatum and the Celtics are only down 5 points. Wow.

Meanwhile Marcus Smart is making every 3 imaginable lol

 

[drewsone]

Need Boston to win this

 

[amitt5504]

Took Covington and Reddick having career nights

So is Marcus Smart lol

 

[amitt5504]

Smh Redick and Belinelli

 

[bostoiah]

So is Marcus Smart lol

Lmao facts.

Just messing with you bro

Humbled from 1 game? Yikes. Curious if you thought OKC were gonna get swept by Houston, cause Utah beat OKC so they should get more respect as opponents.

Is Klay consistent enough to be included in that?

Hypothetically if that series happens again, expect Draymond and Klay to be the focal point of who the Cavs try to contain. If you limit those 2, then you’re only getting double digits from KD and Steph and Steph hasn’t been the most consistent in the finals but I digress. Cavs role players are suspect but they are all wild cards. You never know who’s gonna come alive with them. 2018 Iggy, 2018 Livingston, Javale McGee, Kevon Looney they play their roles too well to be anything unexpected

I had OKC beating Houston.

In order to beat the Warriors you have to score 110-120 every game. Cavs are trash on defense and are weak on offense when Lebron sits

Utah ain't bums but I also don't expect for Ingles to 2 MyPlayers to be defended from 10 feet away again either

Good run by the Celtics.

But we'll bounce back.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Jumping on a Joel Embiid Pump fake...

Interesting

Lmao facts.

Just messing with you bro

It’s all good. Just realized Redick and Belinelli were in during that run smh

But I’m not really worried tho

Interesting

Bro your reputation almost matters as much as your accuracy in the league. If people think you're a threat from 3 then that's almost as valuable as actually shooting .400 on 3's.

same way guys know for they d get away with alot of rough play . Rep does matter

 

[nflowshoe]

Why is Simmons shooting 0.00% from the 3 point line and is still getting guarded around the perimeter? I seen Horford close out twice on the 3 this half

For real though I never want to hear a Raptors fan say that their team is underrated or disrespected or isn't getting enough coverage from the media.

I don't care if they go 13 and 1 in January, I won't care until I see them when close playoff games.

Honestly, it seems like they are in a similar position to the Blazers. They've tried winning with DeRozan and Lowry and it seems like it's run its course. Their Peak is a great regular-season team with no playoff longevity. Might be time to trade one of those two guys.

 

[mikedalton]

Where is Marcus smart cause that’s not him

Their situation is not even close to the Blazers.

They just won 59 games this past year.

The Blazers haven't won 50 games since LMA left. They will never be a real top tier team in their conference. The raptors are. They got a bad draw by getting Cle in the 2nd rd. They shouldn't do anything major. Ancillary improvements and try again next year.

It's similar to Portland in that there are guard LED team that's capped out financially and we've seen them fail in the playoffs year after year.

They'll win a lot of regular season games and probably be a top-three see next year but we know how the story is going to end to come playoff time. If they don't trade DeRozan or Lowry they don't really have much of a choice of them running it back

 

[lamekilla]

Ben Simmons doing his best **** LSU impression

 

[mr highness]

Ben Simmons playing like how he played last year.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Honestly raptors kinda goes along the lines of the clippers trajectory

You might need to get what you can outta Lowry sooner than later. Wouldn't be mad either way. Like I said a few days ago, really only the celts and sixers when Lebby leaves
