Ty Lawson just hit a 3. Is it possible he is better than Larkin?

Raptors look like that juggernaut we saw for 3 months in the middle of the season. Bad news for the rest of the east.

They're really similar players. But Lawson's insane off the court issues makes Larkin more valuable.

Wow I can't believe the undermanned and under-talented Spurs are hanging around with the Warriors. Was expecting GSW to be up by 20 right now.
B-but Pop isn't a good coach right...??  ::)

I'm just happy for Rudy Gay :).

Update - Golden State, predictably, has upped their defense and the Spurs are crumbling. Shocking ::).
I didn't expect that closeness to be maintained - more hope than anything.

Seeing people say Pop owed all his success to Timmy or whatever annoyed me though

I just don't understand as to what happens at halftime. It's like they completely forget the game plan/what had worked so well for them during the first two quarters at the start of the third. Sigh.
You'd think guys who get paid millions a year would recognise that effort is pretty key to winning

Apparently not :-\.

Either that or Washington is just being the chokers they are known to be.

Is John Wall going to complain about foul calls after the game as well?  :laugh:

Also, Beal and Wall have 2 fouls each right now, so that's an issue too.

Wizards are toast.

Raptors need some good competition before they meet the Cs so they can be tested a bit.

Odd to point out when they're playing the Raptors.

LOL when the Raptors-Wizards series was announced, I was here on these boards posting "WOW! Two chokers facing off against each other. Who will out-choke the other"  :laugh:

I agree with that assessment. Both teams have been know as chokers.

So does this series say more about Washington being a poor team, or more about Toronto being a great one?
