It's kind of funny how people a month ago were calling the Raptors one of the best teams in the NBA, and now all of a sudden after a tough stretch, they won't even beat Indiana in a Best of 7 according to some posters. Such bandwagons!

 

The Raptors are still one of the Top 5 teams in the NBA even after this cold streak. They could add a good point shooter at the deadline and that would go a long way in helping them down the stretch and into the playoffs.

 

Even if the Raps lose Leonard after this season, Masai isn't just going to stand pat and do nothing. I'm sure the Raptors fill the void with a player who was better than DeRozan anyways. Even if the Raptors stand pat, they are still likely a middle of the pack team in the East.

 

Sure they can. But the way they've been playing for the past while? It would be a tough battle.

Need JV back.

But are they going to playing like this for the rest of the season? Do you really think that?

Why is that funny? He deserved the selection and it cost him a million dollars. That really sucks.

 

You're a huge *******.

I think that they've been playing like this for long enough that you have to be concerned. No idea whether they snap out of it, but this has gone beyond a week or two of Sub standard play.

Not a 100% sure what’s funny.

Yeah, looks like bringing up his mom triggered it too. But He missed a good chance when Draymond Green trolled him on the crying. He wrote “like you cried for KD in the parking lot”, I would’ve said “like you were crying when Tristan Thompson bitch-smacked you across the room”

Oh sorry, you're not a huge ******* because sometimes I'm a huge *******. Unassailable logic, I withdraw.

Good boy.

AD’s reported preferred destinations (where he claims being open to extension) are the LA teams, NY... and MIL! GA is looking like he’s recruiting for that city, so don’t hold your breath Dick P

[connorp]

LA reportedly pulling out of said trade talks. Thank god as they literally were giving up their whole team to get him lol

The Bucks don't have the pieces to land AD.

Nah prob not but interesting that was one of 4 teams he’d sign long term with.

[Abomination]

Really, really good first quarter by the Raps!

 

I don't know what Philly is doing. They should be putting everything in to Embid, Ibaka can't handle him without a double team.

Faaack, forgot about this game, thanks for the reminder.

[Spanky99]

Wow... up 17 at the half on the road against a very good team. Keep it up boys. Also, how was that charge on Green missed, brutal?

[Spanky99]

Lowry's on point tonight!

[Spanky99]

This lead keeps getting smaller and smaller...

[connorp]

Nah. Those missed 3’s blew it

[Spanky99]

That's not a foul? lol

[connorp]

Robbed of 4:(

[Abomination]

The refs have gone full retard (against both teams) here.

[Spanky99]

Great W... Raps!

Trade rumor:

 

The Raptors have offered guard Kyle Lowry and center Jonas Valanciunas to the Grizzlies in exchange for guard Mike Conley and center Marc Gasol. Lowry is aware of Toronto's general trade discussions. (Jake Fischer, Sports Illustrated)

[Orgfiller]

The refs in the third quarter were abhorrent but the team played super well the entire game. Serge was incredible, Kyle made threes which were key and Pascal was all over the place.

They said on the telecast that the rumor was false (apparently the Grizz offered it trying to drum up trade interest, not the Raps).
