What would have to happen for Raptors to make it to the finals? They're a team I have a soft spot for in the East. Great fans, fun to watch team, they used to have McGrady and Carter who I loved as a kid plus they have the benefit of dinosaurs - who doesn't love dinosaurs? They will likely get swept by Cavaliers but they're the only team left in the playoffs that I genuinely like.
 
I do think I would like to see the raptors go for it but they just don't seem to have that fire to get it done. Now that LaMarsha is done as I had hoped, I would love a Heat Cavs match up and have the Heat knock stupid LBJ off. Would be a pretty complete season for me.

THIS!
 
Raptors need Derozan and Lowry to play out of their minds plus JV to get healthy to have any shot to beat the Cavs. With the way the Cavs are shooting, those factors probably won't even matter anyway. I don't think the Heat have any shot of beating the Cavs either because they just can't score with the Cavs.
A true Warriors-Cavs match up with all parts healthy is the best series an NBA fan can hope for. I really don't know who would win in 7 games because both teams have so many guys that can score.

I heard it was because the GM or owner sees Payton as their PGotf while Skiles disagrees...among other things. Weird situation, he did good things for that team this year.

I can never quite figure out if Skiles is a man of principle or an asshole. I think maybe both. I actually played against him back in the day. He was definitely a bit of an asshole then, but a hell of a gritty player that would do anything to win. He was kind of like the non-Mormon, bad ass version of Danny Ainge. A guy you despised if he was on the other team, but loved if he was on your team. I may not have liked him as an opponent, but I respected him.

I say go Heat, if only so that there is basketball being played this weekend.

Then again this series has kind of sucked...
 
Hubie Brown is like Bob Ryan from Entourage. Old as hell and always saying the same damn thing...
 
Can't help but feel like which ever team wins this series will get swept by Cleveland.
 
I considered Dragic CTC after he fell off, but he's hooping tonight!
 
Is anyone going to be surprised to see Toronto drop game 7 at home?

Hubie reads from his book...one sentence from each chapter over and over...he can't stop speechifying no matter what..his broadcast is basically Hubie's summer camp for basketball tryouts
 
I see there are no more 7:30 games now that the Blazers are out

I think I remember you. That white guy on the Utah Jazz. Yeah, you were the only one. I'll remember your name soon...
