Clippers played very good defense tonight and beat the Nuggets to take a 3-1 lead in the series.

This epic 2 OT game that the Celtics lost reminds me of the so called greatest game that was ever played between the Phoenix Suns and the Celtics in 1976, not in terms of the drama and confusion then but in terms of the pure sportsmanlike battle to win a basketball game. Clean and fair and all for the love of the game. Pity one team has to lose in these kinds of games but that is the game. I wouldn't have a problem seeing the Raptors play the Heat. It would be a great series and the Raptors have everything in their arsenal to beat the Heat.
This is like eternity. My friend in Fremont just sent me a viber message - are you still breathing?
It is already nerve wrecking for me, only catching up in here and not being a big fan of either team
Thanks for the encouragement, Mike. Yes, just have to believe it. I don't know if I can take anymore of those BANG!! by Mike Breen - for the Raptors! Ohhhh boy. What a way to weaken the nerves. LOL
To begin with, nobody really thought the Celtics would be up 2-0 let alone 3-2 in the early parts. It is a series for them to swim uphill and win. Raptors have been favored in betting odds is most games.

Jack, I was about to post this before your Nick Nurse comment, but I do not hold anything against Nick Nurse. Mark Jackson has something to say about his 'exuberance', and I guess that's just it.

Game 7 will be epic.
Raptors have a guy name Lowry who never ceases to amaze me. He can shoot from anywhere and make it.
Raptors are on a mission.
I still believe that the final 0.5 seconds of game 3 will haunt the Celtics as I feel the Raptors are going to win game 7 especially since Hayward won't play
Phil said that he believes the arsenal the Raptors have is sufficient to beat the Heat
If I am not mistaken I believe that the Heat is the only team in the East that had winning records agains both the Celtics and the Raptors
Whichever team plays the Heat will be a terrific series regardless.
I don't think a #5 seed has ever made it to the Finals

I've been trying to do a cursory play by play for you each game as I know the games aren't televised for you. A Chick Hearn, I'm not
Imagine if it were the a Celtics Bucks series and a Heat Raptors series. Bucks would have swept the Celtics. And the Heat and Raptors would have gone game 7.

The Bucks would IMO have been beaten by the Celtics.
Well Steve, you don't holler BANG! I am now officially averse to that if I hear that for the opposing team of the Celtics. These announcers show a lot of emotions, I thought they needed to be more subdued, as in when days of Dick Stockton and Brent Musburger.
'99 Kicks were 8th seed but lost to SA
'95 Hakeem and the Rockets were 6th seeds and won over ORL
I sooooo want to jump on the Heat bandwagon right now LOL Go Spo!
I don't see myself cheering for the Hoosiers for as long as Mr. Nate Predictable is at the helm.
In my heart I want to be for the Clipps because I know what the CAN be. Problem is that util now, like all of us here, I've yet to see them put their foot on opponent's throats and really try to keep it there. Something Miami has been trying to do all season. I love beautiful offense but D, CLEAN D, is what really excites me. It's what I loved about the Pacers in the first place.
