Yeah 8-31 was a massive hole, and I knew of all the injuries, Quickley just got back and is on limited minutes, I think this is the first time the last 2 games with their full rotation, all of a sudde

Cool - that's reasonable enough.  However, after seeing the G-League lineup they played last night, I think I better wait until the start of the next season to go...

It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.

Raptors will take a step back this season my gut tells me. Not a huge step, but they won't be as good.

 

They should still be a Top 3-4 team in the East barring injuries to any of their significant players. A lot of teams in the East did improve this offseason, though Grange on T&S made a good point how in basketball sometimes it takes time for teams to adjust when there is a lot of turnover, whereas the Raps are coming back with the same core (with minor changes to the roster).

 

Raps only had Carroll for 26 games last regular season, so having him healthy over a full season hopefully would be a huge plus. Also, will be interesting to see what Norman Powell does over a full season. Lowry is in a contract year, so I expect big numbers from him again.

If anyone is looking for tickets to the Raps/Cavs game, send me a PM. Will sell at season seat holder price, so cheaper than face value. Can transfer tickets online as well through my account manager.

Where are the seats?

 

I'll probably hit you up if you're selling at the discounted price

Yeah they're my season seats (Sec 320, Row 6). This game is a Tier 1 game, so prices are pretty jacked up. Most games are in the $50-60 range, some even $40 depending on date/opponent. Face value my seats are $176 for todays game, though I only paid $115 as a SSH. So I'd sell them at my SSH price since I know you guys on the board.

I'm really loving Siakam's energy and mobility on defense and on the glass. Stereotypical comparison would be to a smaller, more mobile Biyombo but less bricky hands on offense.

Lowry was pretty bad today, not a good start to his season thus far. Patterson still can't make a 3. Regardless, it has been an excellent game, unfortunate that we won't be able to end up with the W.

 

Poeltl was great today, shook off his first game jitters and put up an impressive performance in his second game. Derozan struggled early on, taking too many of his patented long 2s, but he really turned it around in the second half.

 

Anyway, the team looks great early on, should be another fun season.

I haven't watched any games yet. What's Norman Powell up to?

 

Hasn't played, he only got a couple of garbage minutes in game 1. I have no idea why this is the case, it's not like Ross has rediscovered himself or anything.

I hope Powell doesn't become the new James Johnson in Dwayne Casey's book.

Fun Question: If you are starting a franchise today who do you take? You would be getting the player at the age they are at now.

 

Curry

Lebron

Towns

Davis

Kawai

 

For me its either Kawai or Towns.

 

Why are KD and Russ not even on that list? lol

Is Kawai a secret uber prospect from Japan?
