Welp Toronto got demolished.

I made the mistake of reading post game comments on ESPN. It's seriously cringe seeing Western conference fanboys be in denial that the Eastern conference as a whole, was more competitive and was only 14 games behind compared to like 118 and 76 the previous two seasons. I think the balance is coming back to the East for the most part.

For the first time in years all teams in East in playoffs had winning records.

The East is on the rise for sure. Today's game result was pretty much to be expected. Cavs are healthy and well rested, half the Toronto players are sporting niggly injuries while Valanciunas is out completely. Add to that how run down they probably are after two 7 game series with no break in between and the fact that they barely stood a chance against Cleveland regardless, and the mathematical equation equals 31pt loss.
 
New York Knicks, get to know your new head coach- Mr. Jeff Hornacek, formerly of the Phoenix Suns. Maybe he'll his coaching can help out the Knicks.

Maybe the Knicks can give the Raptors their lottery pick. Oh.....wait, they already did.:sly: It's hard for me to see the Knicks improving much this offseason, but then you never know when they might strike gold in free agency.
 
What has been the talk of sports shows was how former Housron Rocket Kyle Lowry walked out on his team while the Raptors were down by about four mid-late in the 2nd Quarter. Lowry took that time to decompress. Many others thought he basically walked out on his team. What say you about Kyle Lowry's actions?

No NBA action tonight, but tomorrow night will continue the Eastern Conference Finals with the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Toronto Raptors. Cleveland is up 2-0 in this series.

He was just frustrated with himself and needed to blow off some steam in a less public way.
 
It's currently 117-83, Oklahoma City right now with about 10:38 left in the 4th Quarter. With the series tied 1-1, the OKC Thunder could easily get the 2-1 series edge on the Golden State Warriors pending an epic collapse of some kind.


Tomorrow night, it's Cleveland at Toronto, Game 4. Cleveland leads that one 2-1 as the Cavs suffered their first postseason loss this postseason losing at Toronto.
 
So yeah that game 1 OKC stole was no fluke. If OKC does pull off the upset, I'll be popping the champagne bottle in celebration of my Bulls keeping the "Greatest team ever" moniker. And I don't even drink.

OKC just has to win two more...
 
I'm very happy that it's close and that they are giving the Warriors a run for their money as Jahgee said, they need to win game 4 tho. I dont really agree that they can't win one at the Oracle Arena but at 2-2 it's just too much of a gamble. It could go either way, with 3-1 they pratically are in the finals. And to beat the Warriors they need both Durant and Westbrook at the top of there level.

What do you guys think about the Draymond foot into testi event ?

Draymond needs to be suspended. If they did suspend Dahntey Jones for doing more or less the same thing, then Greene needs to be suspended too. And I agree that OKC can pull another win at the Oracle. Honestly I think Durant and Westbrook may just be too much.
 
Dwayne Wade was suspended a few years back for kicking Sessions between the legs when Sessions came up trying to play physical D on Wade. That along with Jones' already have a suspension should tell everyone it's a suspension for hitting below the belt.

What's really cause for suspension is the amount of BS he dribbles from his mouth claiming he didn't know he kicked Adams; he's looking right at him. There's a video showing him doing this same motion to a Rockets' player, but the player went for a charge and slid back when Green ran into him. He already kicked Adams between the legs in the last game, threw Beasley to the ground, gotten in Kanter's & Adam's face taunting (something players have been T'd for), & yelling at officials when the call doesn't go his away. We're not even into the regular season drama this guy causes.

1 game suspension for the shot on Adams in the last game at the least. He's got a laundry list of other questionable calls.
 
May I interest you in some basketball, sir/madam? Good! What we have tonight is a little basketball up in the lovely city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It's 'dem Cleveland Cavaliers playing at 'dem Toronto Raptors for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals that the Cavaliers lead 2-1. A Toronto win will bring this series level. A Cleveland win gives the Cavs a 3-1 advantage. Who will win this one? We'll find out tonight.
 
A fine & upgraded to a Flagrant 2 which means he would have been ejected, but still got to play & gets to play again. What a joke of a league officiating.
 
I saw this incident from a number of vantage points. It's tough to heavily lean one way or the other. My call is that Draymond Green should be suspended. Even though it seemed accidental, you still can't do that. Conspiracy theorists will probably say D. Green wasn't suspended just so the Warriors get some help in their chances of maintaining a Warriors vs. (CLE-TOR winner) NBA Finals.

Speaking of CLE-TOR, it's currently Halftime in Toronto with the Toronto Raptors leading 57-41 in Toronto.
 
I don't think Draymond Greene even mattered now that OKC is up 3-1 after another demolition.

I think Golden State being false gold is happening boys.
 
Green now also has the worst plus/minus over 2 games. :lol:

I think tonight, he's only made 2 shots over both games as well.
 
Brett's Oklahoma City Thunder won 118-94 in Oklahoma City. Midnight is striking on Golden State (which I never thought would win the title this year anyways), and they don't seem to be so glamourous in rags and tatters. One more Thunder win will discontinue the story that has dominated this entire season. Dang... Golden State is going to have to win three straight to play in the NBA Finals for the O'Brien Trophy.
 
The Warriors now have to win 3 games to advance. Which if im correct is an impossible taskin the playoffs right?

Only been done by 9 teams in NBA history. None had a such a brutal back-to-back beating though, IIRC.
