Down goes the greek freak. Got beat by a Celtic team that doesn't even have their best player on the court.

Congrats, Celtics! :rockon: Good game! Looking forward to watching the next round with the 76ers.



So, does anybody else think that the coach,Brad Davis looks a little like the actor from Billions, Asia Kate Dillon?

Cleveland again. :mad:
Maybe this will be the third time lucky series. Anyway, we'll see what happens.

So that sucked last night, losing by one point. The game started off really well and then in the last quarter something changed and everybody seemed to be missing shots that shouldn't have been missed. Drake's scorpion pendant didn't bring us luck. :lol:

Raptors down 10 right now.

Err, make that down by 13.

Uhh, make that down by 15.

I don't see how people couldn't see this coming when the Raptors struggled so badly against a mediocre Wizards team.

Seems to be shaping up that way. :nyrexall:


I thought this year's playoff situation would be better, even with facing Cleveland again. I'm still optimistic. 5 more games left to win this thing. :rockon:

Just when you think you might get a new team out of the east it looks like it will be the same dumb matchup as last year to see who will lose to the warriors. :bored:

Well, I guess it's over. I am no longer optimistic. See you next year, Raptors. :wavesad:

I was out tonight and didn't watch the game.

Raps shat the proverbial bed. Defensively they were simply atrocious in this last series.

:rockon:

I am not one for injury excuses (nor do I like to see anyone, especially young people hit with them), but we have been annihilated with them. The rise of the one's left, though not completely shocking, is nonetheless something fairly spectacular to witness. The future is really, really bright.

And not a single vote for Brad in COY voting. Shameless. :bs:

It will come for Brad in the actual league awards in June, maybe not coach of the year in the end but he'll definitely get a healthy portion of the votes for it and deservedly so.

That might be true, but this is a glaring omission. I don't think he cares much, if at all, and more importantly it won't affect his coaching. :cool:

Congrats to your Cs, SR! :rockon: :cheers:

I was at a baseball game last night and didn't watch the game; however, I did catch the last 5 minutes- the most important minutes- at a bar near the stadium.

I hope the Celtics destroy Cleveland! :box: (No, I'm not bitter. :lol: )

It was a really exciting game. The Cavs series looks like it'll be an all out street fight.

You know my predictions before all this; I was way off

Onward!

I'm sad about Dwayne Casey getting fired.This week he was voted coach of the year by his peers and fired. He's definitely been the best coach the Raptors have ever had. All the success the team's had over recent years is because of him. :sad:

They had higher expectations than gettin swept again. Casey is kind of a playoff hack plus they seem kinda mentally broken right now. maybe hiring a betting coach will stop the raptors from disappearing every season mid-April, or put someone else in a better position to step up.

I agree Arty. After closely watching the east this year, DC did some phenom things, but mainly altering the culture and creating that beast bench from youngster no names were at the top. Not to mention they won the east. It was a bs move, but look at their choices. 1) Clean house on talent or 2) have their own jobs looked at for replacement. Something had to be done and this was the easiest and cheapest route....one with multiple options for replacement. DIcks
