Damn I can't believe Lowry is so disrespected. He has been good the last 2 years in the playoffs but still gets labeled as a choker even by Raptors fans.

 

Derozan has really dragged his rep down .

 

Clarify good? Like when he had one big game in a series against the Wizard that padded his stats or a few years ago our only win against Cleveland? Or the games where we were close and then he turned the ball over repeatedly or couldn't make a layup or 3 point shot to save his life.. Or the games where we were BLOWN out and neither him nor Derozan or JV showed up..

He had a few good games in the Wizards series according to boxscores and from memory I though he was fine. He played great in both of the Cleveland sweeps and shot the ball well.

 

Even going further back when he shot horrible he still gave good defense, rebounding, and playmaking unlike Derozan who had to be benched in 4th quarter.

What do a Raptors fan and Jim have in common: “this time I swear”. Seems like each year you guys have a different reason to drink the kool aid, we’ll see about this year I guess. I’ll still take Boston

 

True enough, having a legit superstar this season isn't really a big reason to expect change or anything, you're right.

Kawhi doesn't look like he's moving very well.

Noticeably.

[Abomination]

It's amazing that we're somehow right in this game.

Welp...

[Abomination]

Welp...

 

Yep, that turned ugly fast.

[Spanky99]

Holy crap!

[Orgfiller]

At least if we lose we'll lose with some dignity. Kawhi has been unconscious.

[bzapple]

Offense looks lost at times without Lowry.

[Abomination]

Lol, this Utah/Orlando game is 35-33 at the HALF

[Abomination]

Tonight is going to be a really rough game. Lowry out, FVV out, JV out, Siakam out. Delon had better bring it lol.

Both teams with heavy casualties, the Nuggets area also missing 3-4 of their key players. Jokic is gonna feast tonight.

Yikes are you serious? Pretty much that leaves only like 8 players available lol. Greg Monroe going to get minutes tonight.

Looks like CJ moves into the starting lineup along with Delon. Maybe that'll at least get the two of them going.

 

Like Org said, Jokic is gonna kill us.

[Abomination]

They need to park OG at the foul line for about an hour a day in practice until he starts shooting ft's better.

[Abomination]

Tough loss. Kawhi was a beast though. Entire team played hard, just couldn't get shots to fall.

Cj Miles is just awful. When Norm is back he should be glued to the bench.

He doesn't even seem like an NBA player. A former one trick pony without any tricks now!

[Abomination]

Man, these refs ...

 

Feel bad for Powell.

[Spanky99]

That quarter was awful.

[Abomination]

I like how Boucher looks so far.

[Abomination]

Our three point shooting is absolutely killing us right now.

[Orgfiller]

All I'm asking is that we at least shoot 35% from three for a half. Just once.

[Abomination]

Holy crap, I can't believe we won!

[Orgfiller]

I honestly think OG hit Bogdanovic's arm there. Oh well, well fought victory thanks to some elite defense and timely shots from Freddy and Siakam.

Yep, he got his hand/wrist. Considering all the nonsense that went the other way earlier though, we were probably due.

[Laika]

One little thing that has always bugged me about the NBA is how you can call a timeout and then you magically teleport to the offensive end for the inbound. You should only inbound on that half of the court if you called the TO from that half of the court.

[Krylian]

What will it take for the Raptors to load CJ Miles into a canon and blast him into the sun?

 

We're getting close to the half way point of the season. I think we've all seen enough of Miles to know what to expect from him. Find a veteran that can hit a consistent 3, and feed CJ Miles to the wolves.
