Man the Raptors have really flopped and wasted a good season. Toronto has grown into a great fanbase and they deserve better.

Despite their "improvement," I'd still fire Casey.

The Cavs swept these fools. The Raptors are straight up punks.

Unless you’re gonna try to trade DeRozan, you gotta fire Casey. Cant bring that same team back.

I agree. You got swept by a Cavs team that got taken to 7 games by Indiana. A young Indiana. After Lebrons buzzer beater in Game 3, I knew Toronto was going to get annihilated in Game 4.

I would probably trade Derozan before I fired Casey, as crazy as that sounds.

I'm not surprised the Raptors lost, I'm surprised they got destroyed. They remade their style, stayed healthy but it meant nothing.

Makes you wonder whether LeBron's that good, or are the Raptors that bad.

It's always a bit of both. I think the Raptors just don't match up well with the Cavs and I'm not sure why that is.

Man, that Boston/Philly series was awesome. That Game 5 game was just as fun. Marcus Smart goes to miss a FT on purpose and it somehow bounces in. He then plays safety and intercepts the pass down court to seal the game. Just insane.

I would’ve been more happy to see Cleveland/Philly, but this bOston team is fun to watch. Back to back seasons of Boston/Cleveland in the ECF. Has Brad Stevens figured it out by now? And will the biggest regret of the process end up being drafting Fultz over Tatum? Hi joe had it right, but then they fire him and draft Fultz. Process denied?

Well it's official. The Raptors fired Dwane Casey.

I sense a major implosion coming for Toronto.

I don’t know if they do it yet. They may think that coaching was the issue blocking them from getting over that hump. I don’t know if they trade away Lowry and/or Derozan quite yet. I think Budenholzer (sp) is who they’re looking at and he may be a nice fit. We’ll see.

Lebrons a coach killer.

They may stay within their tree, and maybe promote Jerry Stackhouse from their G-League team.

I wonder how much longer Lebron can keep up his level of greatness.

Kareem kept his for damn near 20 years.

I was really impressed with Boston today. I was expecting to watch a competitive game but Cleveland was overwhelmed from the jump.

Cleveland just shit the bed in the 4th quarter. I swear it feels like only Lebron is trying. The conclusion I came up with is that Boston’s youth is just out hustling the Cavs veterans out there. I really like the heart this Boston team has. They’re about to take a 2-0 series lead.

Pretty damn impressive by the Celtics, still not convince they are going win the series against the LeCavs yet but we shall see.

Man what a great game

I thought the Rockets were DONE after GS blew them out in game 3 but they showed a fuck ton of character last night. This is now officially a series.

That was all CP, though. James Harden did what he always does at this time of the year and completely disappeared in the 4th quarter. The Warriors also helped by missing so many shots and just playing poor offensively. They’re right in criticizing their iso and hero ball from last night.

The Rockets is lucky at the last possession when Curry was wide open to tie the game that would have send the game OT lucky for them he missed

Something that really surprised me as somebody that doesn't watch much basketball was how they restarted the game after it was over by using instant replay to call a foul, that seems really weird and an over the top use of instant replay.

Can somebody explain to me what it means when a team is over the foul limit? They kept saying both teams were over the limit but I couldn't tell if anything was done about it?

But I'm super proud of those boys last night. The Harden dunk on Green was poetic. The Warriors to me seem like they are unstoppable when they are all healthy and 100%, they were busted up last night and it was all Houston could do to win that game, still though, a comeback win like that on the road when the pressure was on that was the kind of effort I can appreciate win or lose, that shit in game 6 against the Spurs last year just about turned me off on the team.

I didn’t really understand the Rockets being written off after Game 3, so I was moderately happy they won but I like the Warriors more so I want them to finish the Rockets off now.

@nobi Over the limit on team fouls means that no matter the defensive or lose ball foul the fouled player will get two free throws. It’s also called being in the bonus. That’s five fouls in a quarter or two fouls in the final two minutes.

The Warriors could be without Iguodala and Klay for the next game. Now is a better chance then ever for Houston to pull away. I think it goes to 7. I think both series will go to 7 as Boston is about to win Game 5.

I don’t know how I would feel about a Houston/Boston NBA Finals right now. It would definitely be crazy to see.

Tight game so far, the Warriors have done well at this stage to keep Harden silent.

Houston with a slender 4 point lead mid-way through the 4th quarter.

How fucking polar opposite of a player is James Harden from regular season meaningless games to meaningful postseason games? Man. He’s awful when it matters most. 0-9 from 3, 4-16 from the field. The role players are really playing with heart for Houston, because their superstar is playing like straight trash.

That's it Harden, give it to somebody else, tonight is just not your night.

Huge shot from Gordon.

Warriors ball.

Grand stand finish here.

Curry goes in and doesn't get it.

Foul to the Rockets with 10 seconds remaining.

How's your ticker going, Shin?

6 seconds remaining.

Houston with a 2 point lead.

Warriors have a chance to steal it here.

Green slips over and Houston receive another foul.

Game 5 goes to the Rockets, but they could be without CP.
