This is the Raptors lets not forget .. This team is team in the history never makes anything easy ... In the last 4 series that went to game 7 ... All 4 they were up 3-2 ...
I don't know if anybody has noticed but Raptors D-League team is the Finals .. They have a home game in Mississauga ... I think it is a best of 3 Final ... I wonder since Raps don't play till Thursday if they will load up their D-League Roster for game 2
Norman Powell is a beast, love his game face.
I heard he was drafted in the second round. That's deceiving since he played college ball for the UCLA Bruins, aren't they the Montreal Canadiens of the NCAA?

Pascal Siakam poured in 32 points to carry Raptors 905 to a 95-85 victory over the RGV Vipers, forcing a winner-take-all NBA D-League Finals Game 3 (Thursday, 7 PM ET, ESPNU).

Wonder who stays to play that game from the Raps? Will they let VV, Siakam, Poeltl stay in TO and play or on the bench in Milwaukee? Conundrum for Stack though he has won without these guys this year but the Vipers are pretty strong! Still be nice if they can pull it off!
Last year against Indy and Miami Raps were up 3-2 and could clinch the series on the road:
Game 6 vs Indy: 101-83 Loss
Game 6 vs Miami: 103-91 Loss
Does this team have the killer instinct that those teams lacked and can finish this thing on the road? Hope so, but seriously I am fully expecting a game 7 at home.
But if anyone can lift them to the win it's Norm! We the Norm, baby!!

I'm fully expecting your girl to lose her top.
That's wouldn't be the norm, that would be awesome.

Funny it was a battle between Saikam and Vipers Kyle Wiltjer ( who is Canadian ) Kyle had 25 and 12 boards ... It seems the Raptors were there cheering on the 905 team ..
I think the Cavs should be worried ... I know they blew a 25 point lead but the last two minutes they showed another gear ... No pressure cause Cavs favorite and lets hope for a great series ... Playing Cavs means prime time hours and all NBA eyes will be on them ..
MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Raptors 905 are the NBA D-League champions.
Forward Bruno Coboclo led the way with a game-high 31 points and 11 rebounds as Raptors 905 downed the Rio Grande Valley Vipers 122-96 on Thursday to take the best-of-three final 2-1.
Toronto’s D-League affiliate dropped Game 1 on the road before returning home to the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ont., for Games 2 and 3.
Caboclo went 13 for 19 from the floor, including 5 of 7 from three-point range.
Guard Fred VanVleet added 28 points on 10-of-17 shooting for Raptors 905 while forward Pascal Siakim scored 17 points.
Guard Troy Williams led the Vipers with a team-high 23 points.

I don't think this will be the year for the Raptors. We lack the star power (big 3) or depth (ben Wallace type pistons). But with the 905 success who knows maybe big things for next year. Those D league guys may step up or maybe some trades on the way.
As much as I like Kyle Lowry how much worse off would we be with Norm and the other guards? There was an article a while back with 10 reasons to trade KL. It made some sense.
