This is pretty much Toronto's season in the second half. If they lose this game they're probably getting swept. I thought they would put up a much better fight than this
 
not sure if I’m late but Vernon maxwell’s Twitter is jokes lol






vernon been sending random strays at utah for years now :lol:

they're jokes, but the revisionist history from current day rockets fans on vernon is very telling. vernon basically quit on the rockets, but everyone lets it slide because we won rings and he flames our rival on twitter.
 
This is happening to the Raptors because of that person who tweeted “Nick Nurse is really the coach that people think Brad Stevens is.” #Hubris.

i haven't been active lately but what did i miss? we have another rockets fan on here? what is your original username? lol
 
Raps offense is brutal in the halfcourt. Nurse putting in Matt Thomas :lol:

They told Gasol to be aggressive, told the guards to be aggressive, but now your best scorer only got two shots in the first half :lol: They have no idea what to do right now
 
Embiid is at home so there’s really no need for Gasol in this one. He isn’t hindering any of Boston’s pnr action.

Ibaka is their 2nd leading scorer in the playoffs at only 25 mins. Bump that up, 30-35.
 
That 2 for 1 attempt by Lowry was so damn dumb. You rush some terrible shot, all in hopes of getting a chance to throw up another terrible shot with less than 3 seconds left on the clock.

I get that in today's NBA, teams value number of possessions, but the 2 for 1 is always a pet peeve of mine. Teams typically try and get a shot up with 32ish seconds for the chance at another 8 second max possession. I wonder how bad in terms of quality those possessions end up being, and if it's better to either take the 2 for 1 shot with 36-38 seconds left in a quarter, or just take your time and use 1 full possession.

I thought this series would be extremely close and its not because of any doubts I have about Boston. Really thought Toronto was as good as their record due to defense, cohesiveness and intangibles.

My cutoff for the 2 for 1 would probably be about 40 seconds for 99.9% of the players in the league. Anything under that, just eat the clock and get a quality look up.
