Washington did well to keep the game close considering Gortat was only on the floor for 3 minutes in the 1st.

I thought Toronto's bench was going to destroy the Wizards'. Hanging in ok so far

Ujiri is, perhaps, the best GM in basketball at finding diamonds in the rough. And I say that as a massive fan of guys like Ainge and Myers.

This Wizards/Raptors series could be a good one. Wizards aren't a true 8 seed.
Agreed. Glad we avoided them. They strike me as Cavs lite this year in that they don't give a fuck about playing shitty teams, but have that next gear available for the playoffs. I'm hoping the Bucks are too young for that and that they are who they are

I know it’s apples to oranges; but imagine if LeBron was cleared by team doctors and still chose to sit out and not even go to his teams playoff game.

This game is the shit. The petulant, underperforming Wizards. The Raptors trying to shake the label as playoff chokers. Drake. I love it. All of it.

if Kawhi played in an Northeast city and pulled that video game move he'd never live it down from the media

Yep, as a Bostonian, who has literally no interest or real thoughts on Kawhi, I saw that video and said to myself "Fucking guy should be blacklisted by the NBA Kaepernick style."

It's just so bizarre that he has come out with a trade request like a normal disgruntled superstar. I guess his personality might just really be that reserved/passive-aggressive.

This series is really going to come down to how effective Miami is at forcing Simmons and or Fultz to shoot from outside or at the line. On the other hand, if Saric and Belinelli can shoot like this, Miami is in trouble.

while the mainstream media will work this narrative, Miami has more than a few good players and the only All-Star on the floor tonight
