Surprised Toronto won. I thought for sure Cleveland was about to blow it open in the 4th.

Good for Toronto, they were written off before this series even started and they're still gonna lose but awesome to see them get 2 for their fans.
 
The greatest surprise for me hasn't been the clippers going down (mostly due to injury) or the Spurs losing to OKC or OKC beating down golden state.

It's been Toronto coming back from the dead to tie this thing.

They looked like a d league team in those first two games. Lowery was the laughing stock of pro sports. Now they head back to Cleveland tied 2-2.

What happens if they luck out and beat Cleveland in game 5? Wouldn't that be something if Toronto is in the finals?

I felt like lebron was a little too unselfish when lowry was guarding him. Ya he was making the right play (He usually does) and finding the open man but I felt like he should have been punishing the raptors for putting lowry on him.
 
the Cavs were executing well when Delly was on the court, and then just stopped executing .. just stood around watching LeBron do his stupid standing on the spot dribbling then passing it off for a contested shot by someone. They all played like morons the last 2-3 minutes

Really surprised, i thought they were past playing this sort of rubbish but obviously not. If they keep playing like this Toronto could easily beat them again.
 
Those Biyombo comparisons to Ibaka aren't looking so bad now. He doesn't have a 3 pt shot yet but defensively he's quickly becoming the best big in the ECF. If/When Val comes back from injury, things could definitely get interesting.

He's basically everything they hoped Kendrick Perkins would do for them. Rebound, d up, be a pest.

I think having players who act as “pests" becomes more important in the post season. Playing the same team over and over gives them a chance to get in the other players heads a bit.

I agree.

Serious question, do the Jazz have a pest? Do we have a guy who can get under the opponent's skin? Who is our Green, Adams, etc?

Booker I guess. But he isn't near the level of those guys.
Last one I can really think of off the top of my head was harpring or roger braille
 
Of course that piece of **** donkey mouthbreather isn't suspended. **** it, it'll be better to crush the twinks team at full force - but if ANYONE not named Lebron or on the Warriors did that kick, they would've been booted. This league is so rigged now it's disgusting.

Harpring yes! Absolutely. The man couldn't jump or hit a layup to save his life. Once his knees went his game really took a hit. But man, I've never seen someone bully tmac around. Get under the opponent's skin.

Before that I'd say Antoine Big Dawg Carr.

I'd say most top teams need a pest. We need a pest. Gobert isn't that.
