Well.... Most of them anyways.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

STATEMENT win right here.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

DeRozan is not elite, but he's pretty f***ing good. He put the team on his back tonight.

 

Incredibly impressive performance.

[Dylan]

Nice win by the Raps today!

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Rofl @ the first one.

 

MJ was the man.

[theblujay]

Huge win! DD seems to get better every week. Hopefully they come out strong after the 5 day break and keep it going.

[Dylan]

wow, nice game by Lebron tonight. 61pts

[Caper]

These are the last 6 games of the Raptors season. I know things can change.... But it's hard to draw up a better final six games then this.

Sat 5 @ Milwaukee

Wed 9 vs Philadelphia

Fri 11 vs New York

Sun 13 @ Detroit

Mon 14 vs Milwaukee

Wed 16 @ New York

Lol wow that's amazing. Every one of those teams is going to be mailing it in by that point (only one who might be trying still is Detroit). Gotta get 5 of those 6 there

thoughts?

[Dylan]

Bad

 

I would have to agree. It kind of reminds me of a super bowl logo.

What's the record for rebounds in a game, Drummond had 26 tonight? Nevermind, Wilt Chamberlain is all over the board, 55 rebounds, lol. Players were s*** back in the day he just dominated defensively and offensively.

 

Outside of Kevin Love getting 31 in 2010 and Dennis Rodman topping 30 a number of times with the Spurs and Pistons, it's a pretty rare accomplishment.

DeRozan is not elite, but he's pretty f***ing good. He put the team on his back tonight.

 

Incredibly impressive performance.

 

He's really elevated his game this year from a def and play making point of view. He's become a top 5 SG in the league

[John_Havok]

Great game from the Raps so far tonight.

[jays_fever]

Great effort after the huge lay off

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Great win tonight but it's really annoying to see Casey go away from JV AGAIN.

 

He was still +9 while he was on the floor tonight. He wasn't killing them.

 

As I say this he makes Cousins his bitch down low. Give the kid 30 minutes every night.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

JV with 15 points on 7-9 shooting in limited minutes.

 

Man WTF. He still has work to do but he's still playing well.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

5 guys with double digits tonight.

 

Another outstanding performance. If this keeps up this might be the best overall team in Raps history (which doesn't really say much).

They had some good teams when Vince was around.

Most wins they've ever had is 47 (twice). They're now on pace for 47 (with a .567 WP%) but they'll finish higher with the weak schedule. They're winning at almost a .700 clip since the Gay trade! This team is for real.

Wow, thought they had been better than that in the early 2000s. I remember that loss to Philly in the playoffs, Vince missed the buzzer beater.

[theblujay]

Great game. Great D by Hayes on Cousins and its easy to see the impact Ross has.

[Caper]

JV with 15 points on 7-9 shooting in limited minutes.

 

Man WTF. He still has work to do but he's still playing well.

 

Every 2nd or 3rd post you make about JV is of the complete opposite opinion of the previous one lol.

[Dylan]

Another one in the W column, go raps!

[theblujay]

Did you guys see hat they'll be wearing the throwback purple Dino jerseys next year for a few games? It's awesome

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Not really. He's green and his ceiling isn't as high as previously thought... but he should still be getting playing time. It's absurd that he's barely even getting 20 MPG.

[SpeedyGose]

Once JV gets confidence in his jumper consistently, I think you will see his offensive game bloom. He's definitely green on the defensive end, improved but still

[John_Havok]

Especially in games like last night when they're up by 10+ points for practically the entire second half. That's the perfect time to get him in there and get more experience

The Toronto Raptors have announced that forward Patrick Patterson will be sidelined indefinitely with a right ulnar collateral sprain.
