Also I knew lamarcus garbage would be back real quick.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Why does it take so long for trainers to get to injured players?

 

[Chezzymann]

RIP rockets

 

[Hyperactivity]

Fuck.

Fuuuuck.

Please Harden please

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

...and all Rockets fans having a heart attack.

 

[Nafai1123]

Hope he's ok.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

FUCKING HELL.

Come on Harden, bring the glory back to ASU!

 

[Hyperactivity]

They bumped knees, right? That wasn't non contact, right?

 

[KingBroly]

didn't hurt him, at least

 

[FZZ]

Lmao only Harden would get a potential series ending injury and then knock down a 26 foot 3 pointer

refs continue to be ass though, a goal tend really?

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Just throwing that shit up.

 

[Hyperactivity]

THANK GOD

THE IRONMAN

 

[Tom Penny]

I'm pretty sure no team has won by less than double digits in the 2nd round. Good Stuff...

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

Andddd that's a wrap.

Gg spurs. Least you got home court back but if the rockets keep hitting their 3s it won't matter.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

turning swiftly into another asswhoopin

 

[Zantetsuken]

Where is SA's defense?

 

[Hyperactivity]

Oh shit Rockets 3 pt shooting is back.

Looking forward to the return of road ryno next game

 

[FZZ]

Harden had 2 of the worst back to back turnovers

dont know why you guys are saying its over

reverse cursing the Rockets smh

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Did I just hear Derozen just say, "if we had LeBron...well we woulda won too." on the podium?

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

Harden had 2 of the worst back to back turnovers

Because the rockets are shooting 47% from 3 and the spurs are shooting 26% from 3.


Won't win.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Spurs bigs are old or garbo.

 

[LyleLanley]

Did I just hear Derozen just say, "if we had LeBron...well we woulda won too." on the podium?

He's not wrong.

 

[LionPride]

Did I just hear Derozen just say, "if we had LeBron...well we woulda won too." on the podium?

Context is hypotheticals given my Casey about what could have happened etc. Derozen only threw out another hypothetical as a a way of saying, that shit ain't happen, and we lost

 

[Hyperactivity]

Harden hasn't gone for a single 3 pt foul this game.

Sort of makes me happy. Spurs are giving him the space, so he's scoring and passing more

 

[Zantetsuken]

SA is so slow to transition through the pick it's embarrassing.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

It's just weird to hear a players say, "damn if we only had some other team's best player, then we woulda won."

like, okay.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I don't think Reggie Miller has said, "they have to make Harden a driver" enough times. Hopefully he says it 10 more time in the 4th to drive home the point.

 

[Hyperactivity]

SA is so slow to transition through the pick it's embarrassing.

Hopefully this series is a case of the older team getting worn down

 

[Chase17]

I'm pretty sure no team has won by less than double digits in the 2nd round. Good Stuff...

The Raptors delivered today!

Spoiler

This round has been pretty boring

 

[mjp2417]

Harden is a lot of fun to watch when he's not hunting for fouls and just playing basketball

 

[cubicle47b]

The Rockets are ridiculous when they're shooting like this.

 

[overcast]

Simmons and Gordon holy fuck

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Lee is beyond worthless.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Lee is beyond worthless.

no one understands you Lee

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

Absolutely pathetic paint defense smfh

 

[Gigglepoo]

I'm pretty sure no team has won by less than double digits in the 2nd round. Good Stuff...

It's crazy that the most competitive game today was Cleveland's, even though that game was never in doubt.

 

[Chezzymann]

keep the lead rox dont let it go below 10

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Moreyball is so fucking annoying.

One time you just can't miss a 3 and wreck the opposition. Other times you miss everything and get embarassed.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Did I just hear Derozen just say, "if we had LeBron...well we woulda won too." on the podium?

lol that's almost worse than what Lowry said the other day.

 

[Gigglepoo]

RIP Washington

 

[Hyperactivity]

Pop seems to have waved the white flag, surprising, tbh, game not out of reach. Maybe starters are gassed.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Raps in 8

 

[MetalFearSolid]

I legit will not post anymore here till Casey is fired. It better happen soon.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Play-off games so far:

Raps in 8

Hydragonwarrior in a month: Raps in 20

 

[random25]

Is Casey really that bad? The biggest success so far in Raptors history was when he's the coach so I don't see him getting fired anytime soon. Maybe next year if the Raptors go down the drain.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

2nd best player in the world gonna get bounced out second time in a row before making the conference final yet again.

 

[LionPride]

2nd best player in the world gonna get bounced out second time in a row before making the conference final yet again.

I didn't know KD was gonna get bounced out

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other topics: quick question for those of you who have seen both, 13 in 35 or 8 in 9?

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

I didn't know KD was gonna get bounced out

KD, Curry, Harden. I could be talking about any of them, just not Kawhi.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'm affraid the rest of the games will be home chalk. SA will win game 5, Houston Game 6, and SA in a game 7 blowout (as is Rockets tradition)

 

[spyder_ur]

Hell of a performance by the Rockets. When they get going they're incredible.

Shameful performance by the Raptors. We were nice enough to give Canada NBA teams, and look what has happened.

Seriously though - where does everyone think the Raptors go from here? Can they really resign Lowry and Ibaka for ~$350M or whatever and try to carry this forward? Do they do a hybrid rebuild around Derozan? I just think they're in a tough spot - they've built a talented team but this series sweep seems devastating, and they're getting lapped by the up and comers in the east like the Celts, Wiz and Bucks.
