Everybody just froze when that was bouncing around...outstanding

Yep. Too boring. Too predictable. Doesn’t make good use of the shot clock.

He's insanely good. There's no question in my mind who the best player in the league is. This wasn't been a good Kawhi game. It was definitely a weird one.

Welp now it's time.for the real.important business in the NBA: Jimmy gotta go get paid! Lucky bounce/s for Kawhi, but now we're finally cleared up to address one of the great injustices in the legue-- Jimmy gotta finally go get his cuz this whole "working for peanuts" business ain't befitting of a Star of his magnitude. #JimmyGottaGoGetpaid -- who REALLY wants to win a championship? Well scratch them off the list cuz they ain't gonna be able to afford Jimmy... Clippers? Knicks? who got that cap space? Get your checkbooks ready!

Are the Raptors the only team capable of beating the Warriors?

Not expecting much in the West; East might go 7 though.

I can't believe how soft it hit the rim from 23 ft. Remarkable.

I have a few issues with how the Sixers were coached. Awful offensive sets after timeouts. The inexpicable yanking of Embiid during a run. And what use is Simmons if Butler is going to do the majority of the ballhandling? Either let Simmons do his job or get him out of there for a shooter.

Indeed!

There are only two examples of infinity: The universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the universe.

Toronto went to two straight post ups as soon as he went to the bench.

Simmons was playing well and Brown did what I knew he was going to do.

High pick and roll with Butler in the 4th. That strategy has been shown to be a failure.

_________________

As far as I'm concerned, the Ben Simmons experiment is over. Even when he did handle the ball, he coughed it up. The best you can say about him today is he was a non-factor.

16 offensive boards to 5.

Ben Simmons played well today. They went away from him mid 3rd til the end of the game. They play so much better when he plays well.


The ball sticks too much whenever Butler is in an isolated situation.

One play he dribbled for the entirety of the shot clock. This was in crunch time at that.

It was a great game which was good.

Hopefully the Conf finals provide the same sort of drama

_________________

In-game strategies aside, the game was won on the offensive boards. Probably gave Kawhi at least 8 extra shots. Like FF said, It wasn't a stellar game for him shooting wise. 16-39

Really love the Kawhi vs Giannis angle in the ECF. I still don't quite know what to make of his game 7 but he seems all in which is all Toronto needs to know

Just saw the highlight.

Reminded me of Jordan. Jordan won games at the buzzer so regularly.

can't see him coaching them next year.....but they have a myriad of other problems

I'm out.

I don't think Kawhi Leonard will check the Freak but I do think the Freak checks him. Giannis is the one guy that I can remember sort of pushing Kawhi around a little bit. They will probably put Siakam on him.

No one else on the Bucks stands a chance of slowing Kawhi down

Big time BackCourt matchup in this Portland G.S. series.

Probably the top 2 backcourts in the NBA hooking it up.

Portland's entire offense runs through Lillard and McCullough.

They are going to put a ton of pressure on Curry to defend in this series.

With no Durant to take pressure off Curry is going to have to do more offensively as well.

I'm sure the game will ebb and flow but I thought the consensus here was the Raptors were the decided underdog, they are def off to a good start

Kawhi isn't enough and they wasted the one good playoff game Lowry has every 5 years. I don't see it being a competitive series really. I hope I'm wrong. Tonight's game was fun as hell.
