The Raps are a good f***ing basketball team ladies and gentlemen.

 

Another outstanding team effort tonight. Lowry with the triple double!

 

Is Love available in the offseason?

Is Love available in the offseason?

 

Signed through next year with a player option for the year after.

 

He'll be a Laker more than likely.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Five freaking guys with 15 points!

 

That's ridiculous. This team is rolling right now. Such a deep bench. Everyone is buying in on defense. Incredible chemistry.

[Caper]

Here is a question for Raps fans.

 

If you could do inter sports trades. Would you trade Demar DeRozan to the Knicks for Noah Synraguard and Andrea Bargnani?

[dineke]

One thing I hate about basketball are the fouls at the end of the game. Takes like half an hour to play the final 5 minutes.

[Caper]

Man these last minutes of a basketball game can take a while.

[John_Havok]

Yeah. I can understand if the game is within 2 possessions, but when you're down by 10+ with less than a minute left and the other team is in the bonus just give it up

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Minny is not a pushover. They'd probably be 3rd or 4th if they were in the East. That was an excellent win.

[Caper]

Great bench management by Casey again tonight. Should be ready for the game tomorrow.

[John_Havok]

Yep. Very good win, especially on the first night of a back to back when the second game is against a team that you really need to beat

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Great bench management by Casey again tonight. Should be ready for the game tomorrow.

 

Novak just comes out of nowhere with 15 points in 20 minutes. Amazing contribution from him tonight.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Raps only 8.5 back from Miami for 2nd in the East now (gained 3 games on them this week alone).

 

LOL imagine if we somehow stole that spot from them. That'd be huge.

 

With the soft schedule and Miami seemingly mailing it until the playoffs begin.. you never know.

[John_Havok]

Look at all the teams in the East playoff picture over the past 10 every team is 6-4, 7-3 or 8-2. Nobody really gaining ground at all.

[Dylan]

Solid win by the raps, tough match tomorrow!

[theblujay]

Great team effort, amazing game from Lowry.

 

Huge game tomorrow I want them to destroy the Nets

[Grant77]

My Spurs are the top team in the league again after that ridiculous rash of injuries. Hoping the Raptors can somehow navigate their way through the East and meet San Antonio.

[John_Havok]

Nice start so far, if Hansbrough had any finish at all he could have 10 already

[John_Havok]

Refs keeping a tight grip on the game here, no flow at all.

[theblujay]

Amir needs to stop taking those 3s

[John_Havok]

Agreed. He should be pounding the glass, not trying to be a perimeter player.

 

What an awful 3rd quarter. They're going to need to man up for the 4th

[John_Havok]

Can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about Alan Anderson that makes me wish he gets hit by a bus.

[John_Havok]

You just know Pierce is gonna f*** us

[jays_fever]

Can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about Alan Anderson that makes me wish he gets hit by a bus.

 

The entire Nets team is just an unlikable group.

[John_Havok]

We need Lemarcus Aldridge to put this team into the top 5

 

Definitely need a PF that's better than a 10 points 6 boards. Amir is talented enough to be a 15/10 guy if he focused on rebounding instead of trying to be a shooter

[John_Havok]

Lowry taking the team on his shoulders again. Need someone to help this guy.

 

I'll give Anderson props though, he's owning DeRozan defensively

[eastcoastjaysfan]

This is basically a playoff game.

 

If anyone is still against re-signing Lowry after watching his effort tonight.... Well I dunno what to tell you.

 

This is an incredible game.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

OMG this game is bonkers.

 

Lowry is playing like a f***ing MVP tonight.

[John_Havok]

You get the feeling he last 3 minutes of this game is going to take about half an hour

[eastcoastjaysfan]

f***ing Paul Pierce

 

Every single time against the Raps.

[John_Havok]

Fuuuuuuuuuuck Pierce....a zero factor in the game until the last 5 minutes, then just can't miss
