I am calm, I wasn't even talking about the result per se but moreso the competitiveness. If the Raps had lost in OT I'd still say it's a preview. I'm very interested to see how these two teams match up the 2nd time around as it'll be a 2nd game of a back to back for the Raps and the Dubs should be fully healthy by then.

I know the Raps aren't the most popular team on OS but my comment wasn't that far fetched. The Raps have the best record in the league right now. The one team that scares the daylights out of me though are the Bucks.

I wasn’t replying as if to say it couldn’t be a finals matchup, I was just saying your wording of “Great game though as it's like a heavyweight fight. If this is a preview of the Finals than it's gonna be a fun one” based on a game that doesn’t have Steph or Dray might not be a great indication of what the finals matchup would actually look like.

I still don’t know if they are my pick to come out of the East yet, but I do feel better about them than I did a couple weeks into the season and a lot less about Boston even though I still think they turn things around at some point.

Siakam hasn’t fallen off and looks like his improvement could be here to stay, which is obviously going to be the biggest difference maker for them. We knew they had good top level talent, and a deep team, but having a guy like Siakam, who nobody is ever going to really be keying on, be able to give you games where he’s playing at a near All Star level will be huge for them.

Idk how much depth Toronto would use in the playoff games, but it’s good to know that when Kawhi sits and Lowry sits they do a decent job of not falling off. Usually teams can’t sustain losing both of their best players, but Toronto does a great job with depth on the wing and then Van Vleet filling for Kyle. Staggering JV and Ibaka helps with that as well.

I know. Usually it's Maj in here hyping up this time of year.

I think once the Celtics get their **** together that will be a much more fun matchup against Golden State. As great as Kawhi is he doesn't have big scoring explosions in the playoffs like Kyrie does
