    It's one game and OKC played well throughout.

    Well, there is a natural bias given you southerners claiming to be the north.

    You gotta admit, that wasn't exactly a championship caliber performance down the stretch. Once Lowry fouled out, things went to shit in a hurry.

    I didn't watch the game. Did Lowry actually foul out or did Lowry foul out because the league wants OKC in the playoffs?

    What's TOR's record in close games. OKC is consistently bad in close games, but sure looked good today.

    I’m not sure Toronto would win more than 50 games in the West. Their defense was about as bad as I’ve seen in the last month and on offense it was just chaos until someone bailed them out with a tough shot or drew a foul. Ugly.

    Looks like OKC is ready to go on a good run, playing their best basketball of the year. Makes games like tonight’s very important. Can’t lose any of the easier ones.

    Can't wait to hear Casey's comments on the officiating. Wonder if he'll join SVG and Gentry in the "about to have a lighter wallet" club.

    50 games in the West is damn good these days.

    Toronto's record against the West is just below GSW and Houston, IIRC

    As much as I hate the Rockets, they have been doing us a solid by beating the teams we need beaten. We need them to knock down Minny today. Need the Celts to beat NOP.

    Now the motto is North Over Everything. No longer claiming to be it. However being further North than Toronto doesn't sound like something that will help. A lot of NBA players don't want to be North.

    Absolutely. It’s just that their on pace for about 63 wins in the East and everyone’s talking ECF or bust for them. I’m not sure they would even make it out the first rd out here.

    We'll be fine once this global warming thing kicks in.

    They would probably make it out of the first round. They're not too different from us in how their roster is constructed. It just makes you wonder if we would be winning 60+ games in the East.
