Enjoy and discuss.

This is also the thread we’ll try posting the stream links for tonight’s game. There will be no live blog but the chat will be available. I will be tweeting from Philthy McNasty’s though, so if you need in-game updates check it out.

Tim’s picking the Raptors to win this but I’m thinking a 2-win team like OKC is sensing blood here and will compete and take us down to the wire and possibly win it. Chris Wilcox is out giving us a decided advantage in the paint, on paper at least. They have a potentially great wing player who can go off against our sorry perimeter D and a PG who can exploit his quickness against any of our PGs. If we lose this it’ll be the darkest point in the Colangelo era.
