Dolfan in NYC Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 The Raptors/Celtics 2nd round opener today has been postponed. No make up date set. Aside from that, the Heat wait for the Bucks or Magic. No team in the West has qualified yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) TO in the mud. I feel like between Raptors claiming to be Canada's team and the whole "NOBODY IS GIVING US ATTENTION" routine from last year through this year what with Toronto being the centre of the hockey universe since the dawn of time regardless of how shit the Leafs are, it feels good. Most of us in Vancouver that are old enough had a team in the Sonics. That was taken away. Then we got the Grizzlies, an all-time terribly run team and they're in Memphis now. So, no, the Raptors are not our team. The homer announcers too. A truly awful package. I don't like the Celtics either but I hope Boston sweeps them. Similarly, I'm no Miami fan but should they beat the Bucks, I hope they take the east in 4. Edited August 30, 2020 by Jiji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Raptors caught napping after the layoff. It happens. I'm expecting this to be a long series, but if the Raptors drop Game 2 they'll lose their whole "don't count as out" momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Well as I was saying in the other thread the Celtics were clicking on all cylinders it was fun to watch. However, it's just one game the Raptors will adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Well the 4th quarter should've eased your stress levels because Milwaukee played poorly on both ends. Can't have Giannis and Middleton play like shit offensively at the same time. The wall is working too and it feels an awful lot like the Raptors series. Adjustments are needed.

Contentious C Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Eh, Smart got them back with 5 3s in a row to retake the lead. Up 2-0! I'm starting to like our chances; we seem to play better without Hayward in there, so maybe they'll have the good sense to flip him in the offseason.

Niners Fan in CT Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 SMART! was incredible... he gets on these hot streaks, not too often but he did it at the right time. Obviously his defense is always great. Tatum played well. Kemba did not play well but he made some key baskets at the end. I'm happy with this start.

Brian Fowler Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Will Milwaukee put Giannis on the lead scoring wing who shoots mid-range jumpers this year? They resisted so hard with Kawhi last year, while he abused Middleton and Giannis was stuck watching on the help side because Leonard never went to the rim. Against most teams, that works great, because nobody uses mid range shots effectively, and Giannis absolutely wrecks entire offensive gameplans by attacking from the weak side. Butler might not play that well every night, but he'll chew up Middleton went just doesn't have the bulk and strength. Moving Giannis over to the lead ball handler means basically chucking out their entire defensive system, but it might be their best shot. And they theoretically would probably need to do it again either LeBron or Kawhi in a potential finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Miami's defense is spectacular. They are flustering Milwaukee's incredible offense. It's like they play so tight to their man and yet rarely get blown by in addition to walling off Giannis from the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I missed the first half but both defenses were great, Miami's just that much better. I thought Bledsoe's return would be enough and while it was closer still naw. Still haven't gotten Giannis free. I feel like they aren't doing enough two man pick and roll game with him and Middleton and instead trying to free both with off ball screens and it's not working.
