lol Stan Van needs his own reality show.

He takes so many hard hits on the floor. Gotta think that he has some type of lingering lower body injury.

DeKobe

JV doing too well. Time to go small.

Good defensive effort there. Keep it up.

Amir can barely move out there but he still gets a ton of minutes. You telling me JJ can't get some of those minutes if he's unable to get minutes at the 3?

Pistons played last night and lost Jennings for the rest of the year. This is embarrassing.

What a joke. 5 point swing in like 2 seconds.

JJ is officially out of the rotation. This is shocking man. JJ would even be a better backup 5 than Hansborough.

JJ has shown an extremely positive attitude on the bench too. Makes no sense.

Lou, Ross, GV defending the perimeter Abort, abort

Why is Chuck Hayes not playing over Hansborough against these big, slow guys? At least Chuck has good positioning. Tyler just flails away at everything.

Lou gets bailed out by the ref. Christ almighty stop biting on the pump fakes.

Lou is absolutely awful at finishing at the rim. Wow. Game has gone to s*** since he came in.

Well Brandon Jennings mangled his achilles. If they lose tonight it`ll be a complete embarrassment.

Oh god

Why did you focus so much on this comment? Jack made a comment about how Lowry is tough as balls. What is the issue?

Demar is not THIS bad. Come on guys. http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/derozde01/shooting/2015/ http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/derozde01/shooting/2014/ From 16 ft to 3 pt line (aka the dreaded "long 2"): This year: 35% of FGA Last year: 39% of FGA At the rim: This year: 20% of FGA Last year: 16% of FGA SSS but his shot selection has actually slightly improved... He's just not finishing at the rim as good as he did last year for whatever reason. Hopefully it's just a confidence issue with the groin.

Really hoping that 4th quarter gets Lowry back on track. Extremely gutsy performance from him. Tomorrow's game should be personal. Jennings pushed your s*** in last week. Go get your revenge.

I like Lou off the bench but we need to limit his minutes/rein him in a bit. Less iso/step back 3 pointers and more ball movement/penetration plz. He's way too trigger happy.

Update from RealGMer who has been tracking Lou's end-of-quarter ISO's http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=1358757&sid=b4907403d2f398307536a5387970d38c&start=80 TL;DR he's been horrible.

Nogueira, expiring deals, several first rounders and some second rounders. There are enough trade chips to get an impact guy.

Sums up the team perfectly: http://therunnersports.com/2015/01/20/toronto-raptors-scouting-report/ Even though the guards are a strength for this team, one of the best ways to beat the Raptors right now is to attack them with fast guards, running their guys through tons of pick-and-rolls. If you can, try to get Jonas Valanciunas’s man involved instead of Amir Johnson’s. The Raptors have an aggressive defensive rotation that puts a lot of pressure on their bigs. Amir is amazing at being able to get back in position, but Jonas is a step slower at times and you can take advantage of this. It also causes them to be out of position for defensive rebounds, so even if you miss the shot, there’s a good chance you can get an offensive board. This will cause Coach Dwane Casey to get frustrated with JV and sit him down early, which is a huge bonus for your team since he has the 2nd highest Win Shares, TVA, and PER on the Raptors behind Kyle Lowry. He’s also first on the team in Win Shares per 48 minutes. You can also try to attack Valanciunas to get him into foul trouble. That will, again, cause Coach Casey to get frustrated and bench Jonas. But let’s say you have no big men and JV is tearing up your team in the first half? Don’t worry, because Casey will still bench him and neglect to go back to him at the end of the game for some reason. -- Casey is becoming a massive liability.

JV in January: 60% FG 87% FT 65% TS Averaging only 25 MPG It's impossible for anyone to defend Casey any longer. JV should be at 32-35 minutes every single night.
