    That shot by OG was pure muscle memory. Kyle's pass was right in the pocket on the money. That's why these guys are winners.

    Jaylen Brown is no James Harden.

    Kawhi has to wish he could have taken the Raptors down to LA with him along with Nick Nurse. Not as talented as the Clippers, but more professional and the coaching just doesn't compare. He thinks he'll win a championship, anyway, but there are so many "emotionally weak" and volatile Clippers.

    Great win by toronto. I got really sad after the dunk by theiss. I though this was going to be a very competitive series, and it almost went 3-0.
    Incredible shot by OG.
    One take away from the game: Siakam is not ready to take as a primary offensive player in the playoffs. He is great running the floor, but on sets, he is just average. They should try to find more shots for Lowry and Van vleet instead of trying to post Siakam.
    I hope this series goes to 7, ill still take the raptors, but it seems really close.

    His draft comparison was Jimmy Butler lite.

    So definitely no Harden.

    Good game so far. Feels like Toronto should be up a lot, but they aren’t shooting well.

    Half a second from 3-0 to 2-2.

    Series is tied 2-2 even after Lowry and Van Vleet had terrible games.

    I think Boston might be mentally done.

    This feels very much like the Bucks going up 2-0 and then Raptors taking 4 straight.
