    In Vogel's defense I don't think he realized how much destruction Lawson can create in only 7 minutes of play.

    I predicted Raps in 7, but boy this would be bad if they lose a 3-2 lead AGAIN! Coach might have to go though the amazing choke job by Lowry & DeRozan AGAIN should be a real concern

    i'm not going to pretend i've watching this series intently, but they are just shooting so badly. i mean they've shot under 30% combined in 4 games! that would be unbelievable for 1 guy, but for 2. probably unheard of for a top 2 scorer duo. they don't shoot well, then they start forcing bad shots, which makes them shoot worse. it's like they just look for the first half-decent look they can get instead of just running the offense because they're so worried about not showing up.

    As a Raptor fan, I can tolerate Lowry's abysmal shooting since he contributes in other areas. Derozan though, I've had enough. If his shot isn't falling and he's not drawing fouls he is a huge detriment.

    In a way I'm kind of glad this happened so we don't give Rudy Gay 2.0 the max. Let the lakers overpay that dude.

    He does contribute in other areas but the raps aren't realistically going to translate their reg season success in the post season if he doesn't play well. Huge fan of Lowry and though he doesn't have a good track record in the playoffs im still surprised it's this bad.

    the problem is these 2 have shot very poorly in the playoffs for their ENTIRE CAREER. Looking at from 1984 to 2016, Lowry have the 5th worst shooting percentage (35.4%) in the playoffs and Derozan at 12th worst (36.6%).

    Lillard and McCollum pass up Lowry and Derozan as the 2nd best backcourt

    Ty Lawson responsible for yet another big Toronto run. Like clockwork!

    It's the strangest thing. Lawson is probably responsible for 1 or 2 bad plays, but when he hits the floor Indiana turns to concentrated garbage. Lawson is not even involved in some of these bad plays.

    Coach for Indiana is smart. I would never play Lawson again.

    Harden is irrelevant in a 7th game of the first round or beyond it this year.

    If Toronto can't hold this lead, Dwayne Casey should be fired during the post game conference
