For today’s opening Game 1 vs. Brooklyn, the Toronto Raptor players selected their Friends & Family to virtually introduce them in the pregame introductions......and it looks like it worked as Toronto dominated at halftime and lead by 17 with 7 minutes remaining the the game.

Halftime
Nets 51
Raptors 73

Bytor Peltor · 08.17.2020, 08:17 PM

So far today the “home teams” are undefeated:

Utah 125
Denver 135

Brooklyn 110
Toronto 134

Philadelphia 101
Boston 109

.
Dallas (+6.5 ) has the last opportunity at a “road” win
LA Clippers

It’s the “home team” for the sweep of the days games:

Dallas 110
LA Clippers 118

Luka Doncic was the games high scorer with 42 points

“Luka Doncic is the first player in NBA history to score 40 in his playoff debut“

NOT Magic, Larry, MJ, Kobe or LeBitch......LUKA!!!

Porzingis was ejected for this, drawing his second technical of the game. In the age of covid, players can’t be stepping towards each other in after whistle/dead ball situations.

I watched Brooklyn - Toronto, it was boring. Brooklyn was behind from the start and had no chance in recovering from it. I actually didn't finish, stopped watching at the end of the 3rd quarter and went to bed ('round midnight at my timezone).
We can't choose which game to watch, we only get one game a day, if we gat a game at all.

Would have loved to see the Denver - Utah game instead
Mitchell scored 57 points and still lost

4 Questions The Rockets Must Answer To Advance Past OKC

Domination = Rockets are 24-1 when shooting 37.0% or better on 3s this season.

Sucks Ass = Rockets are 20-27 when shooting less than 37% on 3s this season

For the season, OKC is 33-16 when their bench outscored the opposing bench

A “road team” might finally when a game:

wow! Orlando beat Milwaukee, that was unexpected! Especially since Brooklyn was so poor yesterday against the Rapors

no NBA matches on TV here tonight unfortunately, there's CL football instead ... of course

That’s a bummer you can’t watch today.

Rockets dominating at Halftime:

OKC 52
Houston 68

Chris Paul received a technical while leaving the court before the half.
Eric Gordon has played great for Rockets.

2nd half should be good!

End of 3rd
OKC 83
Houston 104

Steven Adams looks slow against the Rockets small-ball offense.

Rockets win
OKC 108
Houston 123

Mike D'Antoni on Eric Gordon's scoring with Westbrook out: "It's fundamental. We have to have it. Eric played well, but I think he'll even play better... He's an important piece that we have."

Harden w/ 37 points, 11 rebounds and six 3’s made

Bytor Peltor · 08.18.2020, 09:42 PM

Anthony Davis had 11 of the Lakers last 13 points to close out the half. Portland led by as many as 11, but they only lead by one at halftime:

Portland 57
Lakers 56

That ended up being pretty easy, but LB wasn’t happy:

Game 1 Final
Portland 100
Lakers 93

Laker’s 3-point FG 5-32 = 16%
Danny Green: 2-8 (25%)
LeBron James: 1-5 (20%)
Kyle Kuzma: 1-5 (20%)
Anthony Davis: 0-5 (0%)
Caldwell-Pope: 0-5 (0%)

Here is the list of teams to score less than 99 points in a game against the Portland Trailblazers this season:

Regular Season
November 25 - Chicago Bulls
December 10 - New York Knicks

Playoffs
August 18 - Los Angeles Lakers

Mike D'Antoni, jokingly: "All we did is defend homecourt and now we got to go to Oklahoma City to play."

The Bucks are boycotting tonight's match.
NBA decided to postpone all three games of today!

Other wildcat strikes* have been (so far) performed by:
-the Orlando Magic, who refused to take a win via forfeit
-Houston, Oklahama City, Los Angeles, and Portland
-the entire WNBA
-the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres in the MLB
-tennis player Naomi Osaka

*gotta get the labor bargaining terminology right!

Mr. Socks & Sandals came up with the 2nd biggest BLOCKED SHOT in Rockets postseason history......each was in a Game 7

Houston’s #1 playoff-ranked defense held OKC to three made field goals in the final 8:22.

Socks & Sandals is now 2-0 in game 7s against Chris Paul

Tonight’s win advances Russell Westbrook to the second-round for the first time since 2016

Westbrook wraps up his zoom press conference: “We get to go back to a campus where it's just us. No other teams, just us at the Grand Floridian."

This is EVERYTHING when it comes to winning in the NBA bubble!!!

OKC had options on final play of game......and what was CP3 doing all alone???

Russell Westbrook on facing the Lakers: “I never worry about the other team.”

Lakers are favored......Game 1 Friday

I couldn't sleep last night, so I got out of bed, must have been 1AM, turned on the TV and fell into the Celtics - Raptors match. Wow, what a great match it was!

Boston thought they had the win in the pocket and a 3-0 playoffs lead, when they made their final score with great team play, and 0.5 seconds left on the clock. But then the Raptors took the win instead with the ultimate 3 pointer buzzer beater by Anunoby!!
