Ok this guy Leonard carries the entire team. He is Moses. Lowry is crucia! as well. Norm Powell  hello please stick around. Mr. Gasol pull your head out of your buttox you 2 Danny Green. Serge a little more muscle on the rebound. Drake sit down and shut up. The Bucks are a real 6 man threat. They are a tough team.
 
Go Raps. Leonard  stays in to is my prediction if they get to the finals. Stick around klenny.

Raptors were up by 5 with less than two minutes to go. They blew it. Game is going to OT, which will be won by Milwaukee

This post has aged poorly.

I'm not confident the Raptors can pull this series out but Sunday's win gave them a shot. Let's hope they can start to drain more shots.

If these last few games have shown anything, it's that Milwaukee is the far better team...even if they somehow lose the series. It seems really unlikely after three games. Raptors only win so far was in OT2 @ home and was a struggle all the way. They didn't so much win as they did avoid losing.

Even if Kawhi leaves next season, he gave this team everything he had this season. The guy is an unbelievable baller. As much as I loved Derozan, there's a clear step up between him and Kawhi.

Regardless of what happens with Kawhi, the front office is going to have some decisions to make in the off season. The bench isn't ready for prime time and I don't think any amount of coaching is going to change this. Fred's been in the league long enough that he shouldn't be shrinking in the post season like he does. Ibaka is a great player, but seems to forget it all when it comes to tough teams. He needs to be more consistent.

Finally, Nick Nurse has shown a complete inability to adapt, which is insanely contradictory to the season they had. Their squad was plagued with injuries all year and required flexibility and adaptation. Nurse has shown an unwillingness to sit cold players in the playoffs. I get the value in showing confidence in your team and letting them play through the slumps, but if this team falls on cold, inconsistent performances, Nurse's unwillingness to adapt is going to be a hard question that he will have to answer for in the off season.

You've got to imagine just what this year would have been like without all of the tragedy that OG has had too. He and Siakam are the keys to this team's future and his absence is certainly being felt here in these playoffs. His defence is excellent and his playmaking ability off the ball spreads the floor, making it easier for other guys to get looks.

Tough to say what the front office is going to do, since the season isn't over yet, but I would expect some changes in the off season whether Kawhi stays or not.

Tie game with 5:00 to go in the half. Can the Raptors pull out the impossible, and win in Milwaukee against the Bucks? Only time will tell...

I'm not staying up for this, so that might mean 'yes' as I always miss good games.  Really it's 'no' though.

Raptors down 39-28 with 5:00 left in the half. They have comeback before. I have faith in them.  I need everyone on the forum to send positive energy to the Raps. They can do this.

Watched the first half... or at least up until now.  Watching basketball with that kind of deficit is annoying.  I'm out.

I have followed your advice and sent the raps magical energy, which will probably have a difference in this game if my high school physics textbook was right.
