Huh, NBA draft lottery is tonight. Forgot what it was like to be invested in this thing.

Feels good.

Hoping Zion doesn't end up in LA.

He will look amazing in the Purple and Gold wouldn't he?

They'd trade him if they got him.

Hope it doesn't end up on the Knicks. Everybody is acting like he's 100% going there so I just want it to not happen.

It's a shame that Pau is injured - otherwise both CF would feature a brother vs brother story-line.

Did Marc become the better player?

Did Marc become the better player?

Well i would say now Marc is a better player but that's just because of age.

Good game right now in the ECF

Either amazing comeback by Bucks or total collapse by Raps, depending on point of view.

I never liked these kinds of scenarios, but for every Raptor player not named Lowry to not make a single bucket in the 4th is beyond unacceptable.

Pat Con showing up and playing the way many of us thought he would. Mistake to let that guy walk.

 

[kjironman1]

Seriously i'm gonna start rooting for Pat if the Blazers lose their series.

I'm enjoying watching Pat contribute at this level.
Good for him.

I feel like this is amateur shit compared to the West..and I know everyone is saying the Bucks are the best team. We’ll probably come back and win in 7 but if we don’t I think Warriors sweep either of these teams

 

[PHXBlazer1]

George Hill is big time

I don’t think the Warriors sweep the Bucks without Durant and Cousins. With them maybe but not without.

Hopefully @dviss1 has been watching him.

Hopefully @dviss1 has been watching him.

He’s hit some huge shots and clutch FTs..there’s a reason he’s playing over Bledsoe

He's been great all playoffs. Wish we had him instead of Turner.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Not impressed

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Blazers in 6 against either of these teams..Warriors wouldn’t need more than 5

 

[Hey]

Man, if we had won the Kawhi sweepstakes with a CJ/Collins/1st package, we'd have a legit chance at winning the whole thing this year. Even if he left, it would've been worth it.

 

[Hoopguru]

Expect the Unexpected!

most actual PG's would be better than Turner

We wouldn’t get to game 6 against the Bucks. You can’t just use one of their worst performances all season to decide they are bad. They’re a very, very good team and have been beating us most of the time for a while in regular season. They handed us the worst loss in ages this year when they beat us by 40 in Milwaukee.

They had an off night in Toronto but are easily a contender and will cause Warriors plenty of trouble if they make it to Finals.

Hasnt the last few years with the Bucks been the home team wins?

 

[Sarni]

They won 5 of the last 6. We beat them this season finally, were the first team to hand them a loss. We don’t really match up well against them.

 

[kjironman1]

I don't think any team matches well against the Bucks. But the Warriors have more offense. They will just out gun them.
