    Sixers was Chuck's Team. Probably misspoke.

    Drake irks me. I like his music for random dancing, karaoke, workouts, or when I just want to feel melancholy about the ex I don't have. But his personality just irks me.

    Raptors should have a 20 point lead now, things look very well for Philly to have the game so close with the way Kawhi is playing.

    Also Embiid is disgusting with his flopping.

    Yeah, but it shows promise, I think they win couple of games.

    They are shooting the worst percentages but still down just single digits. They hang around.

    Toronto dun slaughter their opponents as the Milwaukee Bucks do though. Their shooting is decent but not great.

    While I was saying that, Marc Gasol.

    I wanted Philly to win because they are the easier matchup against the Bucks but if the Raptors play defence like that and against their best matchup in Philly, then is there even a reason to be scared of them? Only 3 players have come to play.

    If you want the Championship, you got to go thru them the North.

    At the beginning of the season the Raptors were the favorites until Bucks had that record.

    Bucks have more weapons, but Raptors have Kawhi. And Siakam.

    Bucks have some inexperience, but they have more than a shot.

    Imagine Elite Kawhi against Elite Harden though.

    Bucks' lack of playoff experience would haunt them at some point. And they don't really have a go-to-guy to pass to in crunch time situations.

    In the Bucks series, it looks like an automatic 7 games. Barring injuries and shooting droughts.

    Okay, Boston can still win though.

    now raptors are finally playing like a contender. Kawhi is playing like the best player in the world.
    And 4 am I am going to bed and hope I won't miss any major Toronto chocking.

    I would say he’s top 3 in the NBA

    I actually think the Raptors are more dangerous than the Bucks as our Finals opponent.

    They are more dangerous when Kawhi and Siakam scores over 25+ ppg but I think Bucks can compete.

    At least in the regular season, Bucks seems to play well against Raps.

    He is too injury prone though.

    Yeah, even though i think Bucks will take care of Boston in 5/6 games.

    Regardless, for the first time in many years the East is going to have a very good conference final, potentially great if it's going to be Toronto - Milwaukee, better than whatever will be the West matchup.
