    I guess cause of ABC 3:30pm game is why Raptors have to play at a weird 12:30pm time(a time they've never played at before all season long).

    It's gonna be a BUSY Saturday morning in Toronto. First weekend Jays game gonna likely draw 35,000-40,000 people, combined with 20,000 for Raptors game along with who knows how many people who'll be watching outside the building.

      Huh? There's literally a 12:30 game every year on the first day of the playoffs.

        But 12:30 time is strange for them. They don't even play games before 3:30 on weekends. Wizards similar situation too,neither team use to playing afternoon games, so I guess whichever team wakes up first wins lol.

          No team plays 12:30 games. Don't make this out to be a Raptors only thing.

          ------------------------------

          Ah, Playoffs in Boston, only this time the Cavaliers the favorites. Time for revenge.. If they had anyone who could guard LeBron, then I'd think this would be a legit series. Crowder could, but Evan Turner has been there guy down the stretch. I'm not sure the Celtics could afford just not playing Turner because of LeBron.

          It's a good warm up series to test Kyrie and Love.

            Just hoping the Bucks front office finds a way to keep the tickets away from the Bulls fans.

            And hoping to steal two games.

              Game 1 of the Raptors/Nets series started at 12:30 as well and has been going on every year in the playoffs.

              This is nothing new.

                All I ask is for Boston to make Cleveland sweat out a game or two. Let's not have all four games end in a mid to high teens deficit. C's aren't even supposed to be here, so whatever happens is a bonus. Just happy to have an extra weeks worth of games to watch. Even with as ugly as they could turn out to be.

                    Some Wizards fans want to lose this series? Apparently they want to lose so that it'd lead to their coach being fired?

                          This is where i hate ABC

                          NBC would be running a straight triple header immediately.

                              They have but the Cavs are a different animal. Celtics will compete and are a fun team to watch. I think a lot of people will enjoy seeing the fight and effort they bring almost every night. But that's about where it ends. Unless the Cavs have an epic collapse this thing doesn't see anything past a 5th game. For as well as the Celtics have played, effort and not backing down won't be enough to offset the talent difference.
