i love the smell of a fresh playoff series in the morning and lakerflags flowing down the freeway.

Did I just hear something about Kobe on Iverson and RADMAN on Melo?!!?!?

I like it. Let Melo get his and hopefully we can limit AI..

 

[EvilMario]

What an interview there with Dwight. I know he's said to be a nice guy, but that interview was textbook NBA 101 on how to give a 'blah' interview. :lol

how about we just spike Melo's gatorade. its much more effective.

 

[Starchasing]

any link for the raptors game? thx

 

[Flash]

please raptors + bosh... don't choke

I honestly think top to bottom, our roster can beat orlando. unfortunately, the coaching matchup is in their favour, by a large margin. I am not comfortable with Sam Mitchell making in game decisions. he may be a great coach for a young team because of his ability to motivate and etc, but this team needs a more X and O's coach to make any sort of progress.

and dwight vs bosh has the potential to be a great match up.

 

[Poody]

I like that defensive assignment. Space Cadet has shown sparks of defensive toughness against the Mavs and Hornets this season.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

magic vs. raptors.

Hopefully Melo is still stoned from yesterday.

T minus 2 hours!

 

[Future PhaZe]

Bosh promised not to get punched in the mouth early and yet its happening...

I forgot my bracket. I think I have Magic in 6 games.

 

[Cloudy]

The only interesting thing about this game is Stephanie Ready

 

[EvilMario]

Quality here is fairly decent for those looking for a stream; http://www.mogulus.com/raptorsmagic

 

[Starchasing]

thx everyone

gettick sick of these shitty HD feeds.

gettick sick of these shitty HD feeds.

I love it when people complain about feeds, as if people owe them a decent one.

On the actual game; I wonder how much action Andrea is going to see, if he continues to struggle shooting. He can't guard Hedo, or Rashard. Not to mention Howard will crush him if he ever gets left with him. If he can't shoot, what can he do? (aside from ONE nice pass per game).

 

[Cloudy]

Craptors :lol

Um shithead, I'm talking about the one on my TV. As in ESPN/TNT

 

[Future PhaZe]

Raptors are getting fucking carved up.

And why didn't Mo play like that for the Lakers? He's knocking down everything.

...

fuck

 

[Flash]

god damnit raptors are brutal. wtf is this bullshit, no defence at ALL.

 

[EvilMario]

Um shithead, I'm talking about the one on my TV.

I see you're in a great mood. Must be all these quality games in the NBA and NHL playoffs.

 

[VPhys]

:lol :lol

 

[Karakand]

let's be honest, does anyone really expect the rockets to win this series? :lol

I sure don't!

Hahaha, you Houston fans are crazy. I just went back a few pages and read forward. You're complaining about calls? For real? :lol

This is not really new or surprising.

:lol :lol

 

[Cloudy]

How is Toronto's defense so awful? Every shot is wide-ass open..

 

[Kak.efes]

:lol

The Bargnani stealth start worked wonders.. nice idea Mitchell, let's start a seven foot stiff who can't score rebound, or defend.

 

[linsivvi]

:lol

You know what happens when people who have starved for a long time start eating?

Don't jinx the team. I am just saying.

 

[fse]

Come on Lakers!
woohoo can't wait.

 

[Kak.efes]

8/11 on threes in the first quarter, Mitchell might just get fired after the first game.

 

[Flash]

holy shit.. only the first quarter...

 

[EvilMario]

Let's see, Parker and Bosh play defense. Moon is a decent helper defender, but that's the end. T.J. has no interest in playing defense, often not fighting over screen, and giving people three, or four feet to shoot. Andrea is horrible. He's too thin, and is over powered in the post. His foot work is horrible, always being crossed up.

Rasho can't really move, but he can stand there on defense taking up space. Jose takes too many chances, but at least he has OKAY effort.

Garbo, would have been handy in this series, taking Hedo/Rashard while Parker takes the other.

So much for our 'superior' point guards.

 

[jman2050]

They're the Magic, even if they win this game they'll find a way to make it close.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Playoff intensity vs no playoff intensity

Orlando is playing at a higher level from both sides of the court. The Raptors look awkward out there and are treating this like an exhibition.

the main problem with this team is bosh is forced to guard either hedo or lewis while rasho in hte post with howard.. and lets face it, bosh is NOT a perimeter defender. so while bosh is busy recovering late, the whole defence breaks down leaving to a wide open man. Now, if u take rasho out of the game, bosh just doesnt have the frame to guard dwight.

I think the only thing us raptors fan have to pray for is for lewis to cool down, and I think the rest of the team will follow.

[g23]

Bargani with the dunk!

 

[Cloudy]

Raps need to go home right now. Good grief..

 

[Future PhaZe]

In a game dominated by 3 point shooting, why not play the best shooter in the world?

Joke post?

 

[VPhys]

I don't know if I can fully concentrate on 4 games on one day. Tor/Orl seems the easy choice to not pay much attention to.

 

[Meier]

That might have been the worst, most telegraphed cross-court pass in history by Shard.

 

[EvilMario]

If Toronto can close this to 10, or under, that's a small victory. A VERY small victory.

 

[Meier]

Wtf, we can't buy a bucket. I hate how this team can never keep the dagger driven in deep.

I HATE YOU JAMEER NELSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[firex]

lol @ rashard lewis dominating.

this is sad, I thought GAF's Raptors fans could have some hope. but they're just the craptors right now.

 

[Meier]

Don't call it off you fucks!

 

[EvilMario]

Let's see,

T.J. Ford can't get the ball into the post. Check.
T.J. takes wide open three. Check.
Misses. Check.
T.J. on other end, gives no help defense, even with 2 seconds remaining. Check.
Toronto in trouble. Double check.

 

[BigJonsson]

w00t shot clock violation!

13 points isn't the end of the world

 

[Heezzi]

Those are some stupid refs.. If the game clock hits under a second before the shot clock hits under a second., and he got if off in time, how is it a shot clock violation?

 

[Cloudy]

Umm Stephanie

 

[BigJonsson]

Those are some stupid refs.. If the game clock hits under a second before the shot clock hits under a second., and he got if off in time, how is it a shot clock violation?

Because the shot clock is 24 seconds and there were 24.7 seconds left in the quarter....

Is TNT calling Dirk a bitch? :lol
