    Draymond Green usage rate skyrockets every time Durant isn't playing. It's no wonder they butted heads earlier this year with Green probably feeling Durant has been holding his skills back ever since he got there.

    It will be interesting to see what this team looks like next year but I wouldn't be surprised if they remain that the top.

    I think you’re way off here.

    Did you watch game 1 where the Raptors dominated?

    How did that game end? The Raptors are good, and I'm sure they will get a game. They have no bench though. The Bucks are a deep team.

    LAKERS DRAMA

    Magic Johnson has sounded off on his experiences as president of basketball operations of the Lakers.

    In short: He hated GM Rob Pelinka, whom he claimed was talking shit behind his back.

    He was also pissed that he wasn't given the autonomy to make decisions, as had been promised. Specifically, he was pissed that they wouldn't let him fire Luke Walton.

    He also blamed the Anthony Davis trade debacle on the New Orleans GM.

    Magic wanted to be an in and out type of guy , said Rob Pelinka saying he wasn't around the office enough broke the camels back. Pelinka said these allegations were just not true. Magic has tons of money from other businesses. Thought he had only a few years when he got aids.

    Magic had really good work ethic obviously. Eziquelle Elliot was detained at the daisy festival, knocked down a security guard. Not the way to look for a new contract.

    You don't need a super deep bench in the NBA. Maybe 8 guys total?

    You could say the Raptors should have won in regulation or the first OT, but they willed out a win.

    Raptors defense was top notch for the most part.

    Help us get into the mind of a Lakers fan.

    Magic Johnson leaving - is this good news or bad news for you?

    Sadly this is probably true, except there's still nobody competent in the front office.

    It took the Raptors at their best to beat the Bucks playing like complete shit. Giannis was non-existent that game.

    Finally the Raptors were all playing pretty decent last night.

    Only problem is the series should be 3-1 right now for the Raptors........

    I think they have found a way to "stop" Giannis and it's forcing Milwaukee to rely on 3 pters. They aren't the Houston Rockets, it isn't going to work.

    See you @ game 7 I feel like they will split the next two.

    Depressing to think that Lebron's end

    Where are the Raptors haters now?

    As I said Giannis and Leonard cancel out and I like the Raptors over the Bucks after that.

    Hope they finish it Saturday would rather not another stressful game 7.

    Im here. Got to give credit when its due. I thought this team was toast after they blew that 1st game.

    In all reality this series should be over.

    GL Canada still cant win a Stanley Cup though. Go figure.

    Huh? LeBron was that catalyst that triggered the collapse. You might be too close to see it.

    That cast of characters have been there a while. They made a Hollywood kind of move and got LeBron. That decision will cost nearly everyone their jobs and perhaps the family’s ownership.

    Kawhi is playing unreal on one leg and the team is playing good defense the last 3. FVV was huge in that last one after being the worst player in the NBA the last month. Weird ass team. Don’t like their roster at all outside Kawhi and Siakam and PS is struggling atm. Lowry is decent facilitator, but at $33 million, a horrible contract. Hate Ibaka, always have. Only raptor I dislike and I, of course, hate Drake your annoying mascot. I’ve liked previous incarnations of the raptors supporting cast more when they were younger in previous seasons, but it’s all about Kawhi. You need that elite player to have a shot.

    After watching Simmons and Giannis, I’m done with the notion you can, in Simmons case be some first team nba level player, or in Giannis’s case, be an all timer, without being a great shooter in today’s game. It’s just too limiting. Giannis is playing ok, but he isn’t controlling the game and taking over because he isn’t an effective shooter.

    Don’t think the series is over or anything. I said the Bucks are the type of team that choke here, but thought they were too well-coached. Guess not. It’s usually a process for young teams where you get your heart broke the first time. If it gets to seven I still like the home team. Raptors are certainly favored, but I still never know where they’re going to get their points every night. Someone will have to step up and get hot again like FVV because I don’t think that will happen again. Or Kawhi just goes off for 45 which is always possible. Happy for you simp. Already dreading the finals as neither of these teams can make a game six imo and golden state is just resting and waiting.
