    Lol @ Raptors getting ran out of Milwaukee....

    Raptors would be the joke of the playoffs if it wasn't for the Celtics embarrassment losing both games at home.

    Why is anyone watching the NBA - you have GREAT hockey games going on. Then you turn to the NBA and every game is one team butt penetrating the other. Both games tonight, based on the scores are a joke.

    They have always been a joke. Nothing new other than their miracle run last year in the playoffs.

    This is just the way Raps do it. They know the only shot at beating the Cavs, is if they finish off the Bucks quick, and get some rest.

    Well with the Cavs on the verge of sweeping the Pacers, they will get a week off, while the Raps likely escape this series in 6 or 7...and make life extremely difficultnon themselves.

    Lets be honest, now with the Bucks ahead, they will succomb to the pressure, and fail to execute...as they dont have impact guys who have been in this situation before.

    They led by 30 almost wire to wire

    That would be quite a 'zag' if they were to lose game 4. Bucks take game 4 I think.

    When you count these guys out, they win...when you think they are golden, they lose.

    Their stars are resilient....remember how bad Lowry and DD struggled for the first 5-6 games last playoff, and took turns turning it on...to come within 2 games of the NBA final. They will figure this one out too.

    I remember Biyombo grabbing 20 rebounds for them and intimidating soft Pacers players from taking shots at the rim. He's on holiday now.

    I'm sure they'll play better in game 4 (how could they not?!) but I think they're up against it this time.

    I pretty much agree with both of your statements on the other hand I think Kidd a smart dude who knows his team is young and he's been in this situation a million times himself as a player. Really split on this, can see Raps taking Game 4 some kinda way, I agree they have alot more experience.

    Outside of Game 6 vs Cleveland last year, the Raps won every game they absolutely needed.

    Closed out a couple Game 7s at home....they dropped Game 1 at home vs Indiana and Miami, and found a way to come back home 2-2 in both situations. If they can somehow slow down Giannis, they head North at 2-2. Just my 2 cents.

    They didn't beat anyone good though did they? Easy to forget Miami lost Whiteside to injury -they were starting Winslow at centre. Pacers were/ are weak.
