Elfrid Payton is very good

[KingKat]

Hansbrough looks completely out of place on a basketball court.

Lol, poor Bruno looks like he's about to cry. He's so raw, it would be like putting one of the young international players (MLB) in there.

I dont think it matters where the raps finish the season, there really aren't any teams that will make the playoffs that I can see them beating in a series.

 

The bucks are pretty bad. A .500 team in a terrible conference, the Raptors should win that round easily. I hope they play the Wizards. A 7 game series between Lowry and Wall will be fun to watch and worse case scenario..they lose resulting in Casey being fired.

If we get the Bulls we're absolutely f***ed. I can see us dragging it out vs the Wiz and a chance to catch lightning in a bottle if the right players are used against Cleveland.

We would have been f***ed agasint the bulls even before our team went full retard. At this point all I want is an entertaining match up. Last year's post season against the Nets was the most fun I've had watching a Toronto sports team since...ever. Having the raptors demolish the Bucks ( which I believe they will) and then get blown out against the Cavs will be kinda meh. John Wall and the Wiz or bust.

 

I dont see how they would get the Bulls until the finals.

Let's go boys and get a huge win here.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

lol The hot start seems like such a distant memory. This team is really bad.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

4 points in 6 minutes.

 

Good start.

[Horses Fart]

f*** I hate Demar!

[dineke]

f*** I hate Demar!

 

Hey I hated him before it was cool.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

If Amir's ankles were healthy he'd be a complete stud. A swift breeze knocks him over now but he's still down there grinding.

 

Don't know how a team could commit to him long term.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Gotta win this one. Would be a huge confidence builder.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

DeKobe on fire!

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Playoff style of game tonight. Demar stepped up big. Now close it out.

[TRM]

Demar is taking it to Harden.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Pretty big win despite the fact that Houston was short handed. Good confidence builder.

Short recap of the game? Seems like DD played, was it by taking it to the rim or actually making jumpers?

Idk about taking it to the rim (half-watching) but his jumper was beautiful.

Both. His dagger shot was a mid range jumper over Harden, but a lot of his points were off the drive, including one absolutely filthy adjustment in the air he had. He also went to the line 17 times I believe.

Incredible.

[dineke]

Garbage coach. I really hope they don't make past the 1st round or there is a real possibility this idiot stays.

[jays_fever]

He's such a f***ing hypocrite its beyond belief. Vasquez and Lou Williams don't guard anyone. Have you seen their transition defense? No you havent because it doesnt exisit.

Is this for real? Like WTF?

That's vintage Greveis Vasquez offence though, dribble into an entire set defense with 17 seconds left on the clock for no reason

[eastcoastjaysfan]

I do understand why Casey gets frustrated with JJ a bit on defense. He cheats way too much (saw at least three cringe worthy moments from him last night) but maybe he wouldn't have to cheat so much if he had some other competent players to play along side him. GV/Lou at the 1 & 2 might be the worst defensive combo in basketball right now.

[jaysblue]

Geez, Raptors playoff tickets are much more expensive this season. There was a pre-sale today to purchase extra seats for season ticket holders and for Round 1 they are asking $420 each for only Purples! Lower bowls are close to $700 each. And these are face value, season ticket holder prices! Crazy!

[jays_fever]

420 a game for a upper bowl ticket?

 

Is that a joke. I bought a half season pack for playoff access before the general public but that's beyond ridiculous

[GD]

For this team?

 

lmao
