    PG
    15 points in the 3rd quarter. 37 in 3 quarters on 10-16 shooting
    7 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover, 12/12 from the line.

    DeRozan finally showed up in the playoffs.
    29points, 1 turnover, 10/11 from the line in three quarters.

    This game feels much like the Blazers vs Clippers in game 3/4. Doesn't feel like the Raptors have a chance.

    IND now up 13 after 3 quarters. It may be a bit premature to call this game and this series, but TOR seriously underachieving in the post season for the third straight season. They the choke.

    They've won their division three years in a row, but two years ago they were the 3rd seed and lost to the 6th seed and last year they were the 4th seed and got swept by the 5th seed. Now, this year, they are the second seed and are in serious danger of getting bounced by the 7th seed. If they do, expect there to be another head coaching vacancy in the NBA within the week.

    The last time TOR won a playoff series, their best 3-point shooter was a guy named Curry - Dell Curry, Seth's dad. It's been a while.

    Yep, spoke too soon. A 17-2 run by TOR just tied the game.

    Pacers scored 9 points in the 4th. Pretty silly.
    But so was the play by Ellis. Driving like that with 8seconds to go. Horrible play call.

    Paul George made the extra pass for a shot that didn't count. I bet he'd make that extra pass again.

    Shame there's no chance Indy moves him.

    It's so funny to me when you see pictures of people who look almost exactly the same as adults as they did when they were kids. You would not have to tell me that was a Plumlee family pic to know that's Mason.

    It's also amazing that his parents knew before he was born that he would be a bad free throw shooter, so they derogatorily named him "Mason" for his ability to shoot bricks.
