The Raptors came out strong against a hot Brooklyn team. Won’t be a long series of things keep up like that.

Watching a very close 76er-Celtic game. I want the series to go seven games and hope Philly prevails.

I never would have considered Portland to have a chance against the Lakers. But they’ve been so hot and James so mediocre that I’m not so sure the Trail Blazers don’t have a shot.

Still, the rump season seems strange and it’s hard to know where anyone stands given the novelty of the bubble. Go Raptors!
