Where do we pick in the draft in June? Still to be determined? Likely spots?
Yeah, that was special.
I'm still waiting for our entire team to show up in the same game in these playoffs though. Last night, Demar, Kyle, and Biz made the difference but our bench got destroyed by their reserves, which is inexcusable.
Even with our injuries, if we could just get one solid game throughout the lineup I think we beat Miami with ease.
If we advance, we will have to be firing on all cylinders against Cleveland just to keep it close.

I guess it's 9th and 27th (with chance of lottery pick)
Yeah it's hard to argue with that, it's all true but I'm still feeling unfulfilled, maybe my standards are too high? Winning is great. But the way we're winning/playing is still embarrassing at times.
Live by the jumpshot, die by the jumpshot. They were falling last night, great. Can't miss 'em all I guess. Still not impressed with DD, love Biyombo though.
Just enjoy the ride. This team is good. They play like complete idiots at times but they're our idiots and winning 56 games and 1 win away from the conference finals is massive. If you expect them to beat Cleveland I would agree that your standards are too high. Nobody expected this team to make the finals. Our max potential in my opinion is the conference finals and we're 1 win away.
Any word on Carroll's injury? Really hope the guy isn't out long .. we need him to guard Wade and ESPECIALLY to guard Lebron

I hope they just finish them once and for all tomorrow. I am so sick of game 7s! Especially when you had a chance to close a team out earlier. Can we catch a break here? Just once, please!
Geesh golden state just toys with you for 3 quarters ....then just turn it up lol. Nobody will touch them in the remaining playoffs IMO.
doubt you'll be seeing him back anytime soon. I'm guessing done for the year. The way he stayed down for an arm injury and how he was holding it on the way off the court said a lot. Too bad for dc. I couldn't believe they give him an offensive foul on that play too. Dragic slid under him late - almost to the point of undercutting - and it was definitely a foul on the d or a no call at worst.
As a basketball fan I think it'll be great to watch a GS/Cleveland final. If both teams stay healthy and keep playing like they have been, it could be one of the great finals in recent memory between two of the greatest players of this generation.
The Cavs have been a far better team after some time to adjust with a new coach. Lue has done a great job turning up the tempo in their offense and guys like Kevin Love, Iman Shumpert and JR Smith playing great to compliment LeBron and Kyrie. LeBron almost single handedly won it last year, it'll be interesting to see what happens when he's got some help.
Wow, the guy is a gamer. He should have been a hockey player.
the goal was to get to the Conference Finals and they're 1 win away. Whatever else happens is just gravy. Can't think of one person putting the Raptors into the NBA Finals. If we win on Friday or Sunday this will be a successful season. Especially with JV missing the last 3 games. If you would've told me at the beginning of the year that the Raptors would win 56 games and get to the Conference Finals you bet I would've taken that.
coach pops did.
Popovich had us going to the finals this year?
Otoh, okc's coach, while on ESPN, was asked who he had going to the Finals, heat or Raps. He said heat. Asked why: because they have a lot of guys that hit key shots like Dwayne wade and....others."
Rolled my eyes at that, couldn't even mention dragic for one (for the other everyone else sucks).
Spurs only scored 31 pts in the half
On the brink of defeat and playoffs.
Oh OKC up by 24
