Valanciunas isn't going to have the same type of game he had last night. Lue (hopefully) will go to Thompson sooner if he has to. I'd start him if it were me. Plus how many more games like this from LeBron are you going to get? I would guess not many.

Toronto loves their 3-guard lineup but it's going to get them killed in this series.

The sequence last night where Lowry called the timeout and then couldn't get the ball in bounds after that...typical playoff Lowry.

Depth matters, but once you go to OT it's basically irrelevant as we saw again last night.

As LeBron took that ridiculous turnaround fade I was opening my mouth to criticize him for not taking the baseline to the basket but before I could, splash.

Raptors in a route, Sixers in a semi-close, but not that close, game.

Anybody listened to the latest Bill Simmons pod? Fat fuck Windhorst was on and talked LeBron for over an hour straight. It was so creepy.

Just because it was Windhorst, it was very creepy to hear him mention LeBron's kids. Sounds like he's stalked him for over 15 years.
