On Episode 3 of the Get More Sports Podcast, we react to the Raptors’ pivotal Game 5 win against the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Raptors’ bench stepped up big again, outscoring the Bucks’ bench 35-13. Kawhi Leonard had another monster game for the Raptors notching his 11th 30-point game of the playoffs. Leonard finished with 35 points on 11-of-25 shooting while also dishing out nine assists and grabbing seven rebounds. The Raptors also received a huge lift from Fred VanVleet, who added 21 points hitting seven of his nine attempts from beyond the arc.
The Raptors will try to make their first NBA Finals appearance in franchise history on Saturday night back in Toronto. The Drake vs. Bucks saga took another unexpected twist when Mallory Eden, the daughter of the Milwaukee Bucks owner, wore a rival rapper’s shirt to the game leading Drake to respond. We break down the 2019 NBA All-NBA teams and tell you who was too high on the list, who we think should have been first team, and who got snubbed. Next, we give our take on Klay Thompson’s reaction to not making an All-NBA team, a result that will cost him more than $30 million in free agency and how NBA accolades should never be a factor in player contracts.
Klay Thompson learns he didn’t make All-NBA (“Oh I didn’t?”) and is clearly a little ticked (it affects his next contract): “When you go to five straight Finals, it takes more than a couple All-NBA guys…Do I think there are that many guards better than me? No.” pic.twitter.com/bW5DiBavo1
