    And another one, hahahaahah :) Awesome! Actually this is good, let OKC get that 4th or 5th spot so we can meet them in the 2nd round. I'd love a re-match with Westbrook and company.

    They really didn't. The 5th call on Lowry was weak, but every other call was legit. DeRozan has been pushing off Brewer every time he drives to the basket. And we're not talking Harden nudging the defender. He's shoving his man to the ground.

    The Raptors are melting down here. This is why no one believes they'll continue playing this way in the postseason. In tight games, they wilt under the pressure.

    I think Derozan did get fouled, but that wasn't a terrible call it was a pretty bang bang play.

    Raptors, lol

    They may have broken our 17-win streak, but they don't scare anybody. Playoff fodder...

    Screw the #1 seed? Let the Thunder have their first round matchup with Utah. I want the best record in the league and I want it well before mid-April so Harden and CP3 can rest.

    Why? They're a dangerous squad. I would be more than happy to avoid them if possible.

    Teams that we should not want to face in the first two rounds: OKC, Portland, Jazz

    Your priorities are misplaced on this. We want HCA over everyone. Allows us to rest more at end of season.

    I guess you still worry about OKC? That so three months ago.

    OKC does the Rox a solid.

    DOWN GO THE RAPTORS.

    Hou closer to that number 1 seed.

    We're not facing Portland in the first 2 rounds. And if the standings hold up, we'd only have to deal with either the Thunder or Jazz, but not both. I'll take that.

    Raptors couldn't just take the L. i know they were hyped about their wins streak but it's over, get over it.

    I'm taking all your rational arguments and irrationally throwing them out the window!!!!!

    Raps were going to lose eventually, why did it have to be to OKC?
