    Casey is a smart coach. Go for the 2s and force the Nets to make it a 3 point game consistently.

    Lowry had no intention of passing the ball. Good D by the Nets though.

    That was a really forced play. One on three.

    I thought the Raptors were gonna pull that off. But Lowry got tunnel vision; he should have passed it out to an open shooter

    DeRozan was open to his left... And he can finish far better.

    Miami will not murder the Nets. The Nets can beat Miami.

    I will take Miami in 5 MAYBE 6 if the Nets steal a game in Miami.

    Old legs coming off a 7 game series vs the rested champs? Not a good recipe.

    You all will say "regular season means nothing," but let's not ignore the fact that Miami is 0-4 this year against Brooklyn.

    Regular season success can lead toward playoff entry access. It is also the time to implement and change in-game strategy depending upon the given match-ups. It's all useful info for the playoffs.

    Raptors needed a Lillard.

    Five Game 7's and only two watchable. So much for conspiracy theories.

    It is reported that the Warriors and Clippers, who already dislike each other, got into a scuffle in the hallway between their two locker rooms following Game 7. Reportedly one of the Clippers mocked the Warriors silent locker room with a crack along the lines of "sure is quiet in there". Real nice guy.

    The Blazers can win with class.

    seemed to me he had less than a second when he put up the ball after all the scuffling, better to try a shot than possibly run out of time
