Isiaiah Thomas is ridiculously good. He is so fun to watch. Lmao at how many teams passed over him in his short NBA career. He could be the MVP this year.

 

IT is one of the worst defenders in the league. He is nowhere near the most valuable player in the league.

He's definitely going to get MVP votes. He leads the league in offensive win shares.

 

Anyways, fantastic effort from Tucker. He essentially provided what we were expecting Carroll to provide.

Carroll, tucker, Ibaka and Joseph were really on defensive lock down in the second half. When they were all on the floor it was actually nice watching their switches and helps rather than seeing defensive shitshows.

One game. Granted a very important game...but let's see if they can build off of this for a few in a row or will they revert back to their swiss cheese defensive schemes.

It was so nice to see Cory lock down IT after he was whining and carrying on. 1-6 in the 4th quarter from mr clutch. Pretty great win without the teams best player with two players on their first game.

 

Ibaka shut down the PnR the Celts love to run through Horford, hopefully that level of back end defense continues

Anyone else like the Raptors -5.5 tonight vs Portland? Going to put some money on it.

they were brilliant. no way the Raps get the win without that trade. I hope this locks down the defense.

 

Really hated seeing DD dribble for the first 15 seconds of every play. Once he was off the floor and the team started passing things got better. Need KL back

Did you place it?

I dunno how you can whine about DD from Friday night. Sure, it's not the most aesthetically pleasing basketball, but he was a bad motherf***er on Friday.

yeah. Put 25$ on it. Just covered barely haha.

Kyle Lowry is set to undergo wrist surgery to remove loose bodies from his right wrist, and he's aiming to return for the playoffs.

Daggers. They'll make the playoffs, but can they stay ahead of Washington and Atlanta?

[dineke]

Delon Wright's breakout incoming.

[Caper]

I feel Corey Joseph still has more potential to show. This might be his time.

[Caper]

But even if Lowry is ready for the playoffs, his shooting won't be the same, he's effectively done for the season.

[Laika]

RIP in pieces Raptors.

[jays4life19]

Raptors, Golden State on the ML and Golden State/76ers under 228 points is my ticket.

 

I'm really going out on a limb with my GS pick.

[Orgfiller]

Lowry always goes down when we need him the most lol. He was terrible in last year's playoffs because he had an elbow injury and his shooting was terrible for most games.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Delon Wright's breakout incoming.

 

My thought exactly. Wright is a stud. This is his shot.

 

I don't want to see them signing Jennings or Rose (who sounds like he's goijg to be waived). Stick with Cojo and Wright. Split the minutes down the middle

[jays_fever]

Delon's going to be stud once he devlops a shot.

 

If Lowry doesnt come back healthy they'll probably be swept by Cleveland

[Spanky99]

Yeah, they're in trouble.

[Abomination]

One thing the Raps seem to be doing very well since Lowry went down is moving the ball better again, and actually running plays for other guys more often. That almost certainly happens anyway with more options on the floor now (ie, Lowry probably isn't at fault for that before), but it's absolutely critical to success.

[John_Havok]

Waaaaaaaaay too many mid range jumpers tonight. It's like the Raps figure you can't score unless you shoot from 15 - 20 feet...

[John_Havok]

1st half was an offensive shitshow. Complete garbage.

 

2nd half they need to get it together or they'll be run out of the building

[Abomination]

Lol, that was awesome by Patterson. Trips running backwards and falls, knocks the ball away while on his back.

[TRM]

This might be the worst game of the Raptors season and somehow they are still very in this because the Knicks are the biggest tire fire in sports.

[Spanky99]

They'll take charge here, right?

[Spanky99]

Damn!

[TRM]

The Raps are getting mauled on the boards and there's no one who can guard JV on the inside.

 

But let's just leave JV on the bench for the last 18 minutes of the f***ing game, Casey. You f***ing clown.

[TRM]

Pick and Roll with Serge is nice
