It's probably because I'm paranoid, but count me in the "Toronto-still-has-a-chance" camp. Obviously they need to win tonight. But they've played just fine in Games 1 and 2. Bad breaks in Game 1, unsustainable mid-range shooting from Lebron in Game 2.

Genuinely feel bad for the Raptors. Man oh man. It REALLY sucks that Philly got that 3 seed over the Cavs.

It's remarkable how important George Hill is to this Cavs team. In retrospect, him being out may have been the biggest reason the Pacers series was so strenuous. His defense was great in this series and when he hits a few it unlocks so much. The George-Korver-Smith-Lebron-Love lineup is like +1,000,000.

Cleveland over Bos in five. I'll say Cleveland in Six, but I'm genuinely terrified that Marcus Smart is going to injure Kyle Korver

Holy shit Toronto fired Casey. The Cavs (Lebron) have destroyed that franchise. Absolutely destroyed it. I genuinely feel bad for the Raptors.

Has a coach of the year ever been fired?

Sucks for Casey but when a franchise fails so completely after making wholesale strategic changes, someone is going to be scapegoated. Frankly, Ujiri is more to blame because their roster is a nice, solid playoff roster but there is no chance at a championship with it and it has plenty of bad contracts (Ibaka, Lowry, Powell). Toronto, however, is really a unique situation so it's really hard to build a winner and he's done that. It's a strange and challenging situation. Someone who did a really nice job was going to lose their job because they couldn't break their ceiling. The roster is more to blame than the coaching IMO but neither guy is elite at their position....

And I will say GS in 5, with a good probability for a sweep.

A sweep would be glorious.

Two nights in a row with no games is stupid.

Two nights in a row with no games is stupid. What about two nights in a row with non-competitive games?
