The way the @sixers/@Raptors Game 7 is going, it's pretty evident to me that there's no way the NBA is going to permit the 76ers to lose, if they can help it, because there's no way they want any part of either the Raptors or @Bucks getting to the Finals. #NBAPlayoffs
Boy, was I wrong about that. Kawhi Leonard's series-winning shot at the buzzer was reminiscent of Ralph Sampson's shot at the Forum in 1986 that sent the @HoustonRockets to that year's NBA Finals, where they would eventually fall in 6 to the legendary '86 @Celtics. #NBAPlayoffs
There's a reason why Kawhi Leonard was once an NBA Finals MVP (the last time the @spurs won the title), and he showed why in tonight's thriller in Toronto. 41 points including the bucket that propelled the @Raptors into the Eastern Conference Finals vs. the @Bucks. #NBAPlayoffs
The @Raptors/@Bucks match-up means that there will be a team representing the Eastern Conf. in the NBA Finals for the first time. The Raptors have NEVER been to the NBA Finals and the two times the Bucks got there (1971 and '74), they represented the Western Conf. #NBAPlayoffs
