Yeah. Butler was money tonight. Great on both ends of the floor. Good move by the Sixers in bringing him in. They really needed a guy to whom they could give the ball in crunch time and say “Go get your shot.”
Agree...home court in the NBA is huge. Toronto always seems to fold when the pressure is applied. They always played the Cavs tough then collapse when the Cavs won a game or two. I think Gasol adds some grit to the team but you could see them losing their moxie at the end of the third quarter. This is nuts in the NBA as teams commonly come back from 15 point deficits in the 4th (and sometimes more).
The Sixers got a little something out of the bench, and the Raptors got nothing. Toronto starters are playing heavy minutes. Maybe this helps the Sixers. They could really use Scott back. Leonard is a beast though which is still why I like Toronto over the course of this one. The Sixers need a shooting guard in a big way. I really wish Brown would get some sack and play Smith for 10 minutes a game and just let him D it up.
Brown made adjustments defensively, Scott coming back would be awesome. Asking a lot of one player to carry a team for a series is not good. Sixers clean up the turnovers, they have a great shot to win. I think game 3 goes to Sixers. Game 4 is key, can't have that let down like Toronto did game 2.
I thought Greg Monroe played well. I like Bobo but I feel he's soft at times and doesn't utilize his size to his advantage. Trouble with Monroe at times his hands are the best but he got the job done. Big win for us.
Boban got abused by the pick and pop with Gasol and Ibaka. Toronto is too good to give them the opportunity for free easy shots which is why brown sent him to the bench (until Monroe got hurt).
That’s great news but I will be shocked if he sees anytime in this series given the fact he was in that walking boot. I hope that was for massive precautions and I’m wrong because he would be a HUGE help off the bench.
That is huge. Anyone here ever have planters facitis? I had it once and it was quite painful. Cant imagine running up and down a hardwood court with the issue.
Well...by the sounds of this article I was WAAAY wrong about Mike Scott’s availability. I love when I’m wrong in favor of the good guys! Sounds like he should be a go tonight.
Also...Sixers home underdogs tonight (+1.5). Surprised by that number. Looks like no one else believes in them. Hopefully the fans tonight there make it hell for the Raptors.

Nope...watching the game now and he’s still on the bench coaching.
But that seems like a silly question...I’ve never seen a coach fired during a playoff series.
I get the feeling you already knew the answer to that question you silly goose!
You’re gonna need a whole lotta body bags
