Damn, we really needed that Patterson 3 to drop

[Orgfiller]

It's a shame, the effort in the second half has been miles ahead of the first, just need to play like that consistently to get out of this funk.

 

Also, Leonard is pretty good.

[SpeedyGose]

The offense in the 4th has been really fun to watch, lots of ball movement, no iso-hero ball, good shots

[GD]

Is it just me or has 2Pat been really off the last little while?

 

Sexy no-look from Kyle though

[SpeedyGose]

Those last 3 3s by Kyle really helped out my fanduel team

[dineke]

Lmao this team might not even make it to 50 wins now. What a leafian collapse.

He's been pretty terrible over the last month +. Not worried at all about him though. His effort level is still very high. Shot is just not dropping.

Raps TV ratings are awful. Jays ST game even beat them by a good margin.

Raps are inverse of Jays. TV is crap but in-game atmosphere is amazing.

[jays_fever]

In game atmosphere would be a lot more amazing if they stopped treating the crowd as if we all have ADD.

I don't think it helps the raptors that they're on a different channel every night.

Corey Brewer is going off in the Rockets-Blazers game. Just got away with a blatant intentional foul, but if the stats they showed are right he's scored Houston's last 17 points.

meh might make a difference of 20,000. Thing about the Jays is they are truly a national team and have done a great job marketing the franchise that way. Barely anyone gives a s*** about the Raptors outside of Toronto/GTA.

Nothing you can do. You can't play the games on TSN because curling is on every single night. Not sure why Sportsnet buries so many games on 360 or Sportsnet One.

The jays also have a 20 year head start and 2 championships while the raptors haven't done s*** ever unfortunately.

And, let's be real here, TV ratings are driven by old white people. Baseball/curling is much more appealing to old white people than basketball. Younger kids are much more likely to stream games.

Yeah but how many people stream the games? Maybe 20,000 at the absolute most?

[Orgfiller]

Fantastic game between the Spurs and Cavs. LeBron and Kyrie are making TOUGH shots, Irving has nearly 60 points.

[SpeedyGose]

Good performance defensively tonight. Ross' spacing has been really nice in the 3rd quarter too, you can see Kyle has much better energy after those games off

[Orgfiller]

Whiteside has a massive wingspan, the guy looks like a poor man's Anthony Davis.

[Orgfiller]

Bruno's wearing his track suit, hopefully he gets some minutes near the end of this one.

[Spanky99]

Game's over...the Raps needed this one, Portland tomorrow yikes!

You should see the Jewish Giant...GD!!!!

[Orgfiller]

Lowry with a performance reminiscent of his pre-funk play. 19/8/8 on 7/12 shooting with good defense. Hopefully this game is the spark he needed, the energy has been there these past two games.

[Caper]

I never experienced a longer last minute of basketball in my life.

It's worse when you're actually at the game IMO. I hate the people who leave 1 or 2 minutes before the game ends and makes everyone in their row get up, but those last 120 seconds felt like the last 2 minutes of a close super bowl..
