Indeed - Kentucky missed a lot of free throws: that and the subpar first half did cost them the game.

UConn looking to sweep both men and women tournaments this year...

Free throws killed them.

Randles Mom was a former college basketball player and told them if they lose it will be because of missed free throws.

And they did. Missed a ton of them when they needed them.

Still think this KY team lost 4 players to NBA and wondered how good they would be with those 4 players still playing.

True - the 4 players would have made good impact but ...in the end...all about the clutch free throws - should not have missed so many ....when it's such a routine throw

What is the world has happened to the Indiana Pacers?

rsot · #**225** 04-10-2014

Slipping in an odd way - surprising

Sandy D · #**226** 04-17-2014

Hate to see how the NBA has become a positioning for seeds by losing games so they have an easier matchup in round one.

And others are losing on purpose to get high draft picks.

Brooklyn is much better then people think and they play.

Hard matchups with some of their players.

But Orlando beat them so Toronto should be ok.

bruenor9 · #**229** 04-17-2014

Brooklyn is a whole different playoff team though. Paul KG are all playoff beasts

rsot · #**230** 04-18-2014

Yes - most ppl in Toronto wanted Washington in the first round...oh well we will see if the Raptors can pull through

bruenor9 · #**231** 04-18-2014

They should be. Derozan and lowry really stepping up. If we do win this series we will make a big statement

rsot · #**232** 04-18-2014

I dont see the Raptors getting through the second round even if they win this one but you never know

bruenor9 · #**233** 04-18-2014

People didn't even expect us to be in the playoffs.
I'm thinking we can reach the 3rd round, but yeh we will see

Sandy D · #**234** 04-18-2014

Clippers and Warriors is going to be a knock down fight to the end.

Must see.

My best guess right now is seeing the rematch of the Spurs and Heat.

Pacers are falling apart and OKC seems to be having issues so some other team like the Clippers or Mavs might have to step up but doubtful.

bruenor9 · #**235** 04-18-2014

Pacers falling apart will be key for Raptors.

Im so pumped tomorrow. First playoff game I'm gonna see as a raptors fan. Been so long lol.

rsot · #**236** 04-19-2014

Are you going to the game? I might check out the outdoor showing

Sandy D · #**237** 04-19-2014

Finally some really good matchups in the NBA first round that I can remember.

vogeltron · #**238** 04-19-2014

Can't believe the Warriors won without Bogut and all those turnovers.

Pacers are getting skunked by the Hawks too. Lots of good first round match ups.

Gamefreak · #**239** 04-20-2014

pacers made the worst move by gaining the first seed. they really have no chance of making it to the finals the way they are playing while Miami will cruise pass the first round without breaking a sweat and well second round will be interesting to watch and will be the BEST series in the east if KG/paul play like the vets they are.

bruenor9 · #**240** 04-20-2014

My raptors are gonna bounce back on monday hopefully, they played pretty bad too many turnovers. Masai Uirji though the raptors GM, he went outside of the ACC and talked to the fans screaming **** Brooklyn.

rsot · #**241** 04-20-2014

That was pretty bad on the turnover end by Toronto - hope they regroup...at least get through round 1
