    I looked it up. It's their 2nd time playing at 12 this season. The other team has to play at 12 too so it's a ridiculous excuse.

      Is Melo still considered a superstar or has he been relegated to now "Very good player" status?

        Raptors are so inconsistent. Never seen a .600 team play so bad so often in any sport.

        Playing vs Knicks as if they're facing Carmelo,Rose and Noah in their primes. Only problem.....Neither Carmelo,Rose or Noah are playing.

          Is "they haven't played at 12 all year and this is why they suck in the playoffs" the excuse for the Raps this year?

          I need to check Cavs tip off times man, just to be safe.

            Very good, IMO.

            Overrated by the casual fans, underrated by the hardcore fans. He's not the guy who can get you to the postseason on the strength of his scoring alone anymore, but he's still a guy who can go out and get you 20+ a night, though it won't always be efficient.

              Melo's just not a franchise player. Maybe he never was one. I'd have enjoyed seeing him pair up with LBJ.

                  Not worried about the game, but the start I am. Do you really think they can get away with being down 10+ vs playoff teams early on and pull out wins? Or leaving guys wide open from 3 every other minute in the game. Raptors set a modern era record for most come from behind (down 10+) wins in a season. On one hand you can say it's great because they don't give up, but you can also look at it like they get into trouble alot early on.

                  Guys just don't seem to buy in to Casey as coach at times.

                    One more thing, with the win the Raptors locked up top 3 seed in East. Told you Wizards would drop to 4. Not that seedings matter much since playoffs are whole new ballgame. And 5-8 seeds are so similar.

                    Celtics magic number to clinch top 2 seed is 1. 1st in East could be decided on final day of season. Would be interesting to see what Cavs do. Rest their guys and maybe give up 1 seed depending what Celtics do, or actually play on final day of season.

                      Who are the cavs making room for ? They cut De Andre Liggins (sounds like a 2K generated name).

                          Y'all have blown leads in games too(see 2014 vs Nets as exhibit A)and still lost the series so I'm not even sure it makes a difference.

                            I thought Kobe had done this before too. I remember him having big games against New York..

                            Eh. Whatever works I'll take it. It's better than what happened in the Pacers game where they went up big early then lost focus the rest of the game. They'll be fine playing from behind for the first round at least, not sure about afterwards.

                              Dame showing respect to the OG

                              Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard scored a career-high 59 points on Saturday night. The mark was also a team record, surpassing former record holder Damon Stoudamire.

                              But even as the Blazers beat the Utah Jazz, 101-86, Lillard didn’t keep the game ball for himself.

                              Instead, Lillard gave the ball to Jazz wingman Joe Johnson, who surpassed 20,000 career points in the matchup.

                              Via Twitter:

                              Lillard said he let the Jazz have the game ball tonight for Joe Johnson, who surpassed 20,000 points tonight.
