I was cheering for the Celtics that game and I now feel disgusted with myself

Raptors 5 up in the loss column. Celtics only have 14 games left.

I'd love so much to see some team emerge from the pack and go on a streak and make a run at Boston and put some pressure on them, so they can't just coast to the end of the season.

We just gotta play over .500 the rest of the way and we're good lol

Shit the Raps are going to play the Cavs in the 2nd round eh?

Cavs got pretty-much equal odds of finishing anywhere from 3-6, so give it about 50% odds. (Maybe a bit less than 50% since they could get knocked out in the first round.)

Would still like to see the Bucks in the first round over the Heat. Heat crawling back to take the lead against the Kings on the road. Meanwhile the Bucks lose to the Magic by 9.

We have a way better team than last year. I think we could sweep the Bucks this time around.

Yikes I just checked the boxscore. 13 threes combined for DJ Augustin and Jonathan Simmons. 67 points between the two of them in total

So looking at this and remembering the first quarter of the Nets game; is this now a tactic for low talent teams? Play 5 out and keep chucking 3s hoping someone gets hot? It certainly had the Raptors looking rattled for awhile and if Russell can do it so could a lot of other guys.

Kings win! time for the Bucks to step up and win some fuckin games.

I'd rather deal with Dragic than Antetokounmpo.

Orlando didn't do it their previous games (only 23 and 24 3PA's) And they really didn't play 5 out, Birch/ Biyombo played a combined 44 minutes. Just a case of both Simmons and D. J. draining the early, so they kept shooting them.

Nets did it because Allen was injured and Okafor/Mozgov kinda suck.

It’s a gimmick strategy...good for a half.....

You don’t see NFL teams running a steady diet of flea flickers...hook and ladders..wild cat sets.....mostly because the odds of executing consistently are much lower than the gains...

Playing 5 out is just that...a gimmick strategy ...
