    All he needed was to hit a three point shot and one free throw. He was 0 for the night. I don’t even know if they can trade him without giving up a pick! He just chokes hard in the post season[/QUOTE]

    Lebron should have never left. He would have been able to get the finals in his 50's. He could have traveled to Hollywood if he wanted to be on Grey's Anatomy and produce Space Jam.

    Fwiw, Lowry had 8 assists and was +11 for the game.

    Durant and whoever chooses to go with him will be running to the Knicks.

    Seems like we dodged another bullet with Lowry btw, i mean, when we wanted to sign him it was for something like 12M per season for 4 years i think, so not even bad, but i wonder hom much he would've costed us with his next contract, which ended up being over 30M per season for 3 years, maybe he would've signed for less here, i don't know but...

    Lowry is a known playoff choker and so is his buddy DeRozan. I'm not surprised he went scoreless and schooled by Agustin.

    0-7 from the field
    0-2 from the free throw line
    2 turnovers

    I guess he played elite defense and probably not his fault DJ was the player for the other team.

    Great game, great two upsets in a row. But Orlando is not shooting 48% again in this series. Toronto's 3pt defense was atrocious tonight. Michael fricking Carter Williams made two threes lol!

    Durant would be smart to do so. He can carry the Knicks to the ECF easily with another star.

    we gotta give credit to morey for trading him to a team where he fits better and where he can shine...hes a GM with a heart..not a mere assets shuffler..

    But the Termites were always blaming DD. :rolleyes:

    Unfortunately now that they got this choke out, I can't see Orlando keep it up for the rest of the series.

    LOL I knew trading Derozan away for a 1 year Kawhi rental wasn't worth it. Derozan was never the problem it was Lowry.

    If Raptors didn't trade away Derozan and Jonas V away for rentals they would be so much better shape now, a core of Pascal, Derozan and Jonas would've resulted in a decade of ECF contention.

    Next year Kawhi is gone and they have a roster just as old as the Rox but with way worse players. Ujiri should be fired for destroying everything he built up.
