Love how the 76ers got Horford so he wouldn't shut down Embiid anymore and Embiid still gets shut down by the Celtics.

I kinda feel like the top of the east is gonna be like one of those Cavs years where all year I try to convince myself that "yeah teams that aren't the Bucks got a chance!!" and then we get a 4-0 or 5-1 non-competitve conference finals like the Atlanta "they're so good they got four all stars" year.

On the plus side, I think it's gonna be a lot more fun watching the Raptors go through that with Nurse at the helm than Casey and they're already overachieving so let's go bitch

Yep. Don't think there's a team in the East that can stop the Bucks.

I was looking at his numbers and I found it interesting that he has not hit between 30-40% of his 3s in a game since December. He's either less than 29% or higher than 44%. I guess you could call that streaky.

I mean unless they have a BIG turnaround he could still ask for a trade then, should be interesting to see who lines up as a suitor. But good to know he's not a deadline option.

Well the Raptors did a good job of converting an easy stretch of the schedule. Tie the franchise record with 11 straight wins, two games clear of Boston for 2nd in the East.

Gonna be fun to see if this team can make the ECF. I think they just might do it.

Masai must be pissed. I head all he's ever wanted to do is blow up the team and this winning keeps happening.

I'm sure he can tolerate this if it helps him build a team around the best African players in the NBA: Siakam, Ibaka, and Antetekounmpo.

The Venus of Monruz (also Venus of Neuchâtel, Venus of Neuchâtel-Monruz) is a Venus figurine of the late Upper Paleolithic, or the beginning Epipaleolithic, dating to the end of the Magdalenian, some 11,000 years ago. It is a black jet pendant in the shape of a stylized human body, measuring 18 mm in height. It was discovered in 1991, at the construction of the N5 highway, at Monruz in the municipality of Neuchâtel, Switzerland.



Here is a picture of Kyle Lowry.

They're 3-7 against Boston/Miami/Indiana/Philly/Milwaukee so they're gonna have to tighten that up if they're gonna make the ECF

Yeah they're definitely going to have to figure some stuff out, especially since they're unlikely to have the best player in the game against any of those teams. Miami in particular seems to have them flummoxed.

But, you know, heart of a champion.

Regardless, Toronto is having a super impressive run for sure. I could really see most of the teams mentioned having a spirited run to the ECF, it should be a fun set of rounds if everyone stays/gets healthy. Strange being excited for east playoffs

The team, and the games, have been more fun this year than last year. What a team. They've broken a bunch of franchise records this stretch too, from Kyle Lowry all-time Raptors assist leader to Terence Davis just making most points off the bench as a rookie for the Raptors.

Hopefully the team has finished being injured because jesus christ guys stop breaking every bone in your body. The upside is that with the depth they have, injuries aren't going to be quite as devastating in the playoffs than it would be otherwise. I'm not too worried about the losing record against good teams, a lot of those were with a lot of key players injured, and they had some key wins against good teams with people injured, like the Lakers.
