Which NBA Teams Bounce Back In Game 2?

[KRIT]

Raptors, Clipps and Celtics all lost openers at home. Which ones bounce back?

Clipps I feel most confident about. C's should as well. Who knows with Raptors.

Raps have a long track record of losing game 1's. Last year they dropped game 1 in their first two playoff series (against Indiana and then Miami). Both times they bounced back to win game 2. They covered against Indiana, didn't cover and needed an overtime to beat Miami.

Two years ago they lost game 2 at home to Washington after dropping game 1. Got swept in that series.

Three years ago they beat Brooklyn in game 2 at home after losing game 1. They only won that game by 5.

raptors will win game 2 guaranteed

[lakerboy]

All 3 win.

[t-wizzle]

They should all win and cover.

[IBetYou]

Biyombo was huge for the Raptors last year. Not surprising they miss him. My only fear with the dear is the Raptors close games strong, so they can be tied with 3mins left and win by 10.

[shadymcgrady]

All of them. The nba is scripted. Manufactured amazing

[Regul8er]

Raptors never get respect..........they will win this series in 5 or 6........every one can have a stinker.
Remember, these guys won two 7 game series last year, and pushed CLeveland to 6, after grinding out tough series, while CLeveland barely broke a sweat.

[chopperocker]

Celtics - most confident
Raptors - should but not without high drama

Clippers - i'd take Jazz spread and moneyline

[jjgold]

Clips
Boston

[Goat Milk]

Clippers the most sure thing.

Chicago has the 2 best players in the series. This series is going 7. Thomas can't guard anyone.

Raptors and bucks are the two worst teams in entire playoffs. easily.

worst paragraph ive seen in a while ....
chicago has 2 best players in series ??? Butler is the best player in the series and isiah is easily #2 in the series... guys top 5 in the mvp discussion this year who would be 2nd on the bulls , a old worn down dwade who got stuffed by the rim going for a dunk?

raptors and bucks two worst teams in the playoffs no comment

I respect your opinion Goat, but no way Bulls have the two best players. DWade is not better than IT. Wade is still solid, but that missed dunk pretty much sums up where he is at this point in his career.

[firekillex]

raptors can easily be debatable of having the 2nd most talent in the east as well , very deep team with stingy defense
saying theyre the worst team in playoffs is laughable

[Foxx]

All 3 win.

Moneyline parlay pays about even money. I might take a shot.

[IBetYou]

That's the great thing about the East; people have different opinions. In the West most people would say Gst, SA, Hou etc

Wade is better than Thomas. Thomas can't guard anyone, not even Rondo.

Wade is the more reliable player overall.

Missed a dunk. Who cares. Thomas can't even grab the rim. Dunks don't mean anything.

If Wade wasn't as good as he is, why was Marcus Smart and Bradley (two best Boston defenders by far) on Wade w 1 min left in the game? Crowder is a solid defender, nothing like those 2. And he was on Jimmy.

Wade is a threat. If they thought Jimmy was more dangerous they would put Smart on Butler and subbed out crowder or put crowder on Wade in the final moments.

Bro Raptors aren't advancing after this series. That's IF they make it past the Bucks. And the Bucks blow. Washington will destroy Toronto. Indy would beat them. Chicago would. Every single team in the east will beat Toronto is a 7 game series except the Bucks and Atlanta. Lowry is the most overrated player in the league. Dorozan is a 2 guard that can't get dimes... Ibaka can't post up. And Dwayne Casey plays Valencunas 20 minutes a night.

Awful team.

I guess we just disagree then. Wade had 11 points and shot 4-12 from the field, not exactly like he took over the game. He is still a great player though.

Awful team.

you sound like a blatant hater imo, raptors have 2 all stars and added 2 elite defenders in Ibaka and Tucker, they have a debatable best back up PG in the league with Cory Joseph and have multiple good bench players ... Lowry , Derozan , tucker/carroll, Ibaka and Valencunias is a much better starting 5 then any team in the east other then the Cavs... Would lose to any team in a 7 game series but went to 6 games in the ECF last year vs the Cavs and only got better this year????

Lowry sucks but made an All star team last 2 years and has been top 10 in 3s made and steals before being injured lol guy takes multiple charges , big shots and big rebound plays that dont show up on the stat sheet guys a great leader, no hes not a top 5 pg in the league but hes a great player, Derozan was top 5 in scoring ... shooting guard is a scorer not a dimer lol it literally says shooting in the job title , ibaka is a 3 and D PF why would you post up when you can hit mid range shots and 3s.... guy gets minimum 1-2 blocks a game and plays great interior defense

raptors could beat any team in the east 7 game series including the cavs , multiple knowledgable sources agree including Bill Simmons, Bulls are by far the shittiest team in the playoffs, Atlanta is absolutely trash with 0 chemistry and the Pacers are all Paul George a team that the raptors beat last year lol... all your debates are invalid and make 0 sense imo


and to say Dwade is better then IT this season just shows you dont watch basketball or just watch highlights of games because IT has been an elite scorer/ clutch player this season where wade has been a shell of himself, dudes a legend but hes at the back 9 of his career... hes made big plays in his playoff career so they put avery bradley on him , crowder is also a great defender why wouldnt he use his size on butler whos a bigger body and have the same body type? dont understand your logic at all

[shadymcgrady]

I have a futures bet on Toronto to get to the finals. Would probably start hedging around game 5

[ChiLLx]

Celtics worst 1 seed in years. Books new with the low odds on that series

[t-wizzle]

Grizzlies should fight tonight.

[IBetYou]

Fizfvck is learning the West is much tougher than the East.

[NardVa]

Grizz, Thunder and Blazers are done....

[t-wizzle]

I know the Grizz lack firepower but this is bad. Spurs doing whatever they want out there. Memphis can't stop dribble penetration.

[unluckysob]

All 3 win.

Hawks also.

[2ndchance]

Parlaying all 3 also must win for all teams pretty much
