I really wish they hadn't blown Game 1... Time to see if the Raptors can win a game in Milwaukee. I'm worried about Kawhi of course and I don't think Toronto will get another great performance from the bench guys. What Norm is doing is great but he's never really been reliable. I want to see a big shooting game from Danny Green.

I didn't watch the game last night but I checked the boxscore a few times. Even when the Blazers had the lead, I didn't have much hope of them winning the game. Do we think either the Bucks or Raptors have any chance of beating the Warriors?

Huge game from Norm too last night. It's pretty sad for Kyle that I was more worried about Norm being in foul trouble. Kyle wasn't great last night. It's a shame they wasted Kyle's performance in Game 1 because I doubt we see that again. VanVleet and Green have to start hitting more shots soon I hope.

Urge to post spoilers rising... Can't it be next week already!?

No stopping Kawhi

The Raptors are killing me

Portland is done. Now I'm doubting that we see a Game 5. Even when they take early leads, the Warriors are always within striking distance. I kinda feel like the Raptors are up against a similar problem with the Bucks. Even when Milwaukee is down 15 points they look comfortable. They know that's just a few shots and they're back in the game.

That episode was kinda weirdly put together, but I assume there's a reason why we needed to see all of it. Anyway, I'm all for more stories about Kyouka. I also think there should always be more Rampo. Low-key best character in the show

Well I guess the Raptors are going down 0-2...

It would suck for the Twins to meet the Yankees in the Wild Card game again. I hope Minnesota wins the Central. Cleveland can eat shit for just assuming they would win the division and not even trying to improve their team

Best part of this week's episode was probably Filo's comments re: Spear Hero and his party

So I think the Twins are actually kinda good. That's weird.

Gotta wait another week for the real action...

Got my hopes up and then they couldn't come through in the end Didn't figure they'd get beat by fucking Brook Lopez though... Some big missed shots here in the 4th quarter.

I sure hope you're right Xy. This first half has been fun as hell to watch. Not just 'cause the Raps are up. Just a fun game between two fun teams. The Bucks seem to allow a lot of pretty open shots from 3 though, which you'd think they'd defend more in today's NBA? Great to see some good shooting from Toronto to start the game. If they're open for it and it makes sense to go for it, I want to see Lowry and Gasol taking more of those shots. I think even Norm hit a couple while he was on the court. If they could get more of a contribution from Norm and Fred that'd be huge.

They drafted 1st, 4th, and 4th the last three years IIRC and they're still a last place team. Are they tanking on purpose or just really bad at drafting / player development?

Vlad finally getting some hits, two homer game

Trying to save the New Orleans franchise, I guess. I wonder if they can convince AD to stay with Zion. They could turn into a pretty great team. Or if AD is still out then trade him for a good package potentially including the Knicks' or Lakers' pick + other interesting young players to build around Zion. --- Back to playoff talk: I didn't realize the Western Finals started last night Wish I would have tuned in. I'm thinking this series is probably Warriors in 5, maybe 6 games. Cheering for Portland though. As for Raptors @ Bucks: Milwaukee has built a really good team around Giannis. They're deeper. It's going to be tough. Probably Bucks in 6 But if the Bucks' supporting cast under performs and the Raptors secondary guys shoot well, and then it comes down to which superstar has the more impactful performance between Kawhi or Giannis then I can see the Raps winning. Odds seem to be against them though.

I picked up Cytus ? today. Only played it a bit but it looks like their are a tonne of songs, so there should be some good stuff in there. I'm pleased to see there's a DJMax section (I wish we could get DJMax Respect on Switch...)

I think this was the first time the Beast Titan's name was mentioned in the anime. It happened similarly in the manga IIRC. Just a random name drop and then they moved along. But we will eventually see Zeke's background story, which is very interesting. Not sure if it will fit into this season though. Love that killer instinct from Mikasa I still don't but Bert being able to hang with her, but I suppose they did do a lot of training to become warriors...

Almost feels like that game last night was a dream. It happened Great defense from the Raptors, Kawhi was obviously amazing, Lowry and VanVleet played with really good energy, and Serge really stepped up. He hit some huge shots. This team still has been missing a lot of shots though, which is concerning.

I figured this was another Marvel fighting game... I guess I've never heard of this series before. Looks like some mindless 3D beat 'em up fun. I'd but it if/when the price is right.

Yeah, right now it's looking like Carolina's run is over. But I will hold out just a bit of hope that they can come back for a miracle game 7 win. Get Boston out of here!

Wow ???

Watching this 4th quarter is too stressful
