How that can be considered an 'accident' in any way shape or form blows my mind. WTF the league definitely plays preferences... just because Green is a "big name"

JV suited up but didn't play a single minute. It's gonna be interesting how they are going to utilize him now that BB has stepped up in a big way... will they make JV the catalyst of the 2nd unit?
That actually might make more sense because the starters already have Lowry and Derozan, they should use BB's defense and JV can bring offense off the bench when the all-stars rest.

Who would have thought Beastmack would develop into such an important piece of the team? I'll admit I thought he was a waste of a roster slot when Raps picked him up after missing out on the LaMarcus sweepstakes but he has proven to be a defensive anchor and he's still improving.
Now the Raps have a new problem because he has a player option next year and for sure he will opt out to re-sign a much bigger contract. Can the Raps afford to keep him?

Ehh... I dunno about that. He was super lucky the rest of the team scraped out some important wins. Your "best raptor" has only had roughly 5 solid games out of 18 and was hovering the 30 FG% mark for most of the post-season, that doesn't exactly scream GOAT imo. He's a very good player but I'd still take VC
I believe the "Road through the playoffs" is very important!
- Spurs decimated a broken Grizzlies team then lost taking on the dynamic duo of KD and Westbrook.
- Warriors crushed a disinterested and dysfunctional Rockets team, took out Portland that showed tons of heart but just not enough talent to compete.
- GSW are struggling with a battle-tested OKC team riding high off beating the 67-win Spurs.
- Raptors struggled but persevered through 2 grueling 7-game series. Well well now they are tied 2-2 against the heavy-favourites Cavs who cruised 9-0 through the playoffs so far.
