I ended up 8 for 8 in first round predictions in terms of teams. Got the number of games right for the Rockets, Warriors and Raptors.
I have Raps over Cavs in 6
Philly over Boston in 6
Rockets over Jazz in 5
Dubs over Pels in 5 this round

If the refs stay out of it we win game 2 just like game 1 would have been should have been us up 2 shooting fts and getting the ball after the head shot wasnt reviewed magically with a minute to go ,game would have been over and very likely a 6 point lead under 50 seconds nba bs at its finest against the raps once again

I can't stand the "fans" that cried for JV to stay in games late against smaller big men and abuse them offensively, rather than Casey "matching" their opponents lineup. Now, he is being left in and everyone is saying "Why do we have JV matched up against Jeff Green?"
Personally, I think we have to match-up with the Cavs... then we don't need to help on Lebron.
Have Lowry defend Hill
Derozan defend Smith
Miles (or even Powell) on Korver
OG on Lebron
Jak or Serge on Love
Bring in JV when halfway through the first and keep him in when Thompson is in.

Choking again!! Damn. If Casey did such a great job of stopping LeBron when he was with the Heat, why can't he get his guys to shut down LeBron again?
These young guys just need to keep growing.
Ibaka and Miles are letting us down - big time.
These are experienced guys who should be contributing.

How can one non call change whole series.If that flagrant was called aginst Love Raps wozld been up 1-0 with momentum coming in game 2 even if they lose game 2 it would still be 1-1.After this I think it's time for Raptors to blow it up and go to quick rebuild. Trade Derozan, Lowry and Ibaka for high draft picks while you can.

I almost predicted the lineup that Casey used to get back into the game. Just sub in Vanvleet for Derozan.

Crazy last second shot by lebron to win it ,not playing demar from late in the 3rd quarter wasnt a smart decision and now 3-0 might not have won with him but you dont bench your best player that long especially in a playoff game ,aswell not playing poetl was just dumb

We better win game 4 if we get swept with this team after this season to a team like the cavs when we could have got many different veteran guys to help for a title run and of course didnt once again like every trade deadline and then buy out and china players im going to lose it ,no damn way we shouldnt bewinnin this series kso getting swept AGAIN would be a disgrace

The Raptors must have the dumbest head office in all of sports. How will firing the greatest coach in franchise history, and replacing him either with someone with no experience or who was fired from a different team in the past (no doubt, because "it was all his fault" his previous team did poorly), make the team any better?
The Raptors ran into the 2nd greatest player of all time in the 2nd round and he owned them, as he has owned many other teams.
I really think firing Casey is going to backfire big time on the Raps.

Yeah, I feel like Casey earned the right to run out the 1 year that was left on his contract at the very least. He did everything that was asked of him in terms of revamping the offense and got the most out of his players, especially that bench unit.
I don't see a better option out there. Budenholzer is being looked at, but that is a guy whose record is 0-12 against Lebron. That being said, I think Stack will get the job.

If they will start rebuilding i understand fireing Caswy if not it's so dumb.Yes he lost 4-0 but this is the closest 4-0 I have ever seen.It's not his fault they can't make bucket in 5 tries to win game 1, lose game 3,4 on buzzer beaters.They can't make significant roster changes unless they are going to rebuild wich I think is the best option for them.
