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.

We're making some beautiful passes early on.

 

Hope the Raps knock off the Griizzlies here, Tuesdays game against the Celtics could be for 1st place if Boston lose today, cool.

3 point shooting so far isn’t going to get it done!

I feel like I've jinxed this scenario, I'ts been all downhill since I posted it, in both games... :P

That was as good a half against Boston as we could have hoped for!

 

It's far from over but yeah that was as good as it gets. The second unit was brilliant once again.

Haven't watched at all but being up 23 at the end of 3 is a pretty big deal. Is it just the Raps playing that well or is Boston just playing that bad?

 

Bit of both?

I'm biased of course but I think the Raps are blowing the Celtics out of the water. I don't think the Celtics are being necessarily sloppy, the Raps have just been amazing.

I'd say a bit of both. Making lots of 3s is really helping, but Boston just seems a little out of sorts.

Definitely a statement game.

 

We've destroyed the Cavs and Celtics on home soil now, I feel that is very much making a statement. I'm honestly still more worried about LeBron in the playoffs than I am of Boston, I think we could beat both and hopefully do so, but when LBJ goes into god mode and the Cavs make a few of their shots there's not a whole lot many teams can do to counter that.

Lebron makes any team incredibly dangerous on offence but that team has very real defensive issues that I don't see just magically getting better. Its one thing to not be trying but even with full effort they aren't even going to be average.

 

Key for Raptors will be can the young players step up and knock down open shots. Delon, FVV and OG are going to get a ton of open looks with teams focuses on Derozan/Lowry. If they can knock down 3s the Raptors should be fine, if they don't there could be a few issues.

LOL Cavs are terrible. I know it's unlikely but I so, so want them to fall out of the playoffs. But knowing our luck they'll drop to #8 and the Raptors up to #1 and sweep them in the first round.

 

I know that this is just a system simulation that probably is based heavily on point differential and strength of schedule, but the Raptors are now the favourite to win the finals haha:

Cleveland 1.4% chance of winning the Eastern Conference.

The Cavs are +4 at home to Minnesota tonight. The bookies have finally given up respecting this team. It's like they want everyone to bet Cavs. I have to admit it is tempting.

Thing that those kind of odds and point differential in general don't account for is that the Raptors strength is how deep their roster is with good players in the 7-11 slots in the rotation. So while the Raps bench kills opponents other benches come playoff time it will be different because other teams will only have 8 man rotations and playing their stars 40+min.

We have no picks left to trade so I'm assuming one of Delon,Jakob and Siakam are going the other way.

 

JV+Bebe would be pretty sweet

Issah Thomas traded to the Lakers. Probably wasnt a good idea to suck balls your first month on the team and call out an all star

 

Wow - what a disastrous sequence of trades for the Cavs, Irving really screwed them by forcing his way out.

Raptors valued at 1.4 billion per Forbes. 12th highest in the league

 

Every team in NBA is worth at least 1 billion.
