I hate it so much but the Celtics are very good and their perimeter/wing D is exceptional. Kemba is really in a perfect situation and their flawed front court isn't even worth exploiting for most teams. gently caress them again and again but they are the worst match up in the league for the Raptors.

All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.
Draymond's shot isn't coming back but he was still pretty good in the playoffs last year, and the two regular seasons he's been bad were when he didn't need to anything but stay healthy for the playoffs, and when they decided two weeks in to explicitly tank.

His contract isn't good but I don't think he's viewed as that terrible by other teams if they think he's capable of playing well all season.

This is my standing up for a bad contract that ISN'T a shameless gunner, too beautiful for this world.

It can't be good, the broadcast mentioned an x-ray being taken. If it was good news, they would have said.

I'm always slightly annoyed when the Celtics are rolling (though in this case the Sixers deserve it), except when it's Kemba making the shots

The X-Ray is going to be negative, almost no one breaks their ankle. He has a sprained ankle and depending on the grade he might try to play through it I guess but it should take atleast a few weeks to get back to normal.

Kemba was the main reason they won tonight, he had the killer look in his eyes after he sent Horford skating out of frame with a crossover for the dagger

it's not like a sprained ankle is a career-ender or whatever, it just sucks, we obviously need him. whether he's limited or out, it's bad news and a bummer because the Mavs were outperforming my expectations for this series

they were like 25th in defensive rating from December on, it's bad, and playing MPJ a lot makes it even worse. Jokic looked gassed today too, he was avoiding the paint as much as possible and Rudy beat him to every single 50/50 ball.

Oh for sure, I’m just saying there being X-Rays done is due diligence 99 times out of 100

Inside the NBA played multiple clips where guys didn’t even try to rotate to shooters. Wild.

All this playoff p talk reminds me when the Heat spanked the Pacers in the playoffs and Paul George after the game saying something about playing really well and when asked about his comments in their post-game Wade and LeBron both side-eyed the score sheet and looked like a dog trying to make sense of their owner doing a tree pose

I'm terrified of Boston more than any other team in the league. I'd love to be wrong but I don't think the Raps make it past them.

The Raptors are good enough to compete. It'll be a 7 game series though, and much like last year the second-round will be the hardest series on the way to the Championship.

Kawhi singlehandedly drags teams to the finals. The Jazz lost Grayson Allen so they lost all hope of getting past Kawhi.
