@DocNaismith Luis is a winner player, more experience. Patterson is a loser player.

Are raps the first team to be a 2 seed and be tied after 4 games in NBA history?

2nd seed vs 7th seed the past few years:

2014-2015
WEST:rockets vs dallas - 4-1
EAST: cavs vs celtics - 4-0

2013-2014
WEST: okc vs grizzlies - 4-3 (these two tied at 2-2 before okc took it)
EAST: heat vs bobcats - 4-0

2012-2013
WEST: spurs vs lakers - 4-0
EAST: knicks vs celtics - 4-2

2011-2012
WEST: spurs vs jazz - 4-0
EAST heat vs knicks - 4-1

2010-2011
lakers vs hornets - 4-2 (tied 2-2 initially)
heat vs philly - 4-1

2009-2010
mavs vs spurs - 2-4 (the last time a 7 seed upset a 2 seed)
magic vs bobcats - 4-0

2008-2009
nuggets vs hornets - 4-1
celtics vs bulls - 4-3 (tied 2-2 before celtics take it)

so generally 2 seeds dominate 7 seeds as they usually should. the last time an upset happened was back in 2009-2010 when 7th seed spurs beat 2 seed mavs.

it isn't uncalled for at all. all the dude does is go on and on about how everything is terrible and then goes into some stupid "i told you so" rant in literally every single thread and how he must be the ONLY one that watches games around here. its one of the worst cases of self-fulfilling prophecies i've seen online in a long time and its fucking sad.

i'm totally open to finding faults in the team. i've been anti-derozan for years. but dude, the last person i'd look to for 'valid criticisms' is GLF.

GLF has a certain perspective but the content of many of his points are not without merit. The Florida Panthers have a slogan on the wall from their dressing room hallway to the ice that states 'positive attitude'. I think that is a good approach. That said its ok to point out areas of concern. The slogan only takes you so far. You need to recognize your shortcomings and adapt. If GLF is too much to handle just ignore him would be my suggestion.

Oh no. This guy just went full Scola. You never go full Scola!!

[psrs1]

I don't think most people here care that the series is tied at 2.

People care about how the two losses came about. The 2 seed should NEVER be blown out by the 7 seed.

Exactly. The way we lost game 4 was more glaring and painful than the game 1 loss. PG going off is not unexpected.

Oh no. This guy just went full Scola. You never go full Scola!!

Truthfully, I think the guy is an Argentinian soap star.

[MixxAOR]

Oh no. This guy just went full Scola. You never go full Scola!!

Too easy but is THAT CASEY?!

That makes sense:

Only reasonable explanation for this: the Raptors didn't expect there to be a Game 5? pic.twitter.com/cXv1PBUNVv

Anyone have an HD stream? Can't find one on reddit....

[CNinja26]

I don't even care about it being 2-2, 1-3, 3-1. For the sake of our future with this key group of guys, Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan need to show up.

Not this early. I'll find one closer to gametime.

So, the whole We The North campaign is done, eh? Replaced with angry flying sperm? Meteor? Snowball? We The 90s Cartoon Meteor from Video Game Guys?

Usually the YouTube links on there do the job, but yes, closer to game time.
