2017/18 Toronto Raptors Season Thread !! Go Raptors Go !!!

It was nice to see Miles have success. We are going to need his outside shooting if we are to go far this playoffs. Delon has really impressed me lately. The guy that still confuses me is JV. Dude can look like a world beater at one minute and completely inept the next. Super frustrating.
Those rookies in Cleveland need those wins at home. If they lose one more, there's nothing LBJ can do to reverse the series direction. As it is they have to win one now in Indiana. I think Indiana wins it in 6 now, or Cleveland gets it back in 7.
Raps up 2-0 which is fantastic but come on .. WTF is up with Lowry and the playoffs .. Previous years it was he ran out of gas cause all the minutes he played and now after fewer minutes he is still putting up ugly numbers .
Lowry is uber annoying as well... Don't be surprised if management moves him this offseason.
Where the hell was the NUT CRUSHER last night? They had them by 20 at the half and let them back in, WTF? Good news is Raps win and go up 2-0 in the series.
Teassoc: believe I read where Lowry had a virus but played with it in game 1.
Doubt he is going anywhere next year!

Sad news Pops wife passes away .. Basketball takes a back seat today for it must be hard for him to be able to coach the rest of the playoffs .
Not so great in Leafs nation. Can the Raps take a 3-0 series strangle hold and Indiana take a 2-1 lead on Friday?
Yes!! :very_drunk: It is Happy 420 day anyhoo so it's gonna happen...now whether it's real or not.....quit bogarting that now..!
Lowry and the playoffs, whats up with that? Although his defense has been spectacular gm 1 & 2. Lets just hope his shots start falling cause with all those bricks he can build a house.
I disagree. The biggest difference in the Raptors this season is the sharing of the ball.
KL is most deadly when he is dishing the ball and hitting the odd 3 ball.
DD has legitimately rounded out his offence by adding a semi reliable 3.
But going back to sharing.... in the past I used to hate watching the iso, drive and missed shot. Game 1 was won with not so great numbers from KL.
FVF is sorely missed but the Bench Mob earned it's name due to the group effort.
Last night was just sloppy ball..... too many turnovers leading to points.
So I am still very optimistic for a Finals appearance and here's why
-they can win even when KL and DD don't have stellar numbers
-they are starting to get respect from the refs
-being able to go deep into the bench really helps in a 7 game series
-the offence is unselfish
-JV has really developed
-Lebron is struggling
-Kyle is showing some real leadership out there
-great team chemistry
-I think the Raptors can hang with every team in the east in a series
-home court advantage
I was hoping that the Raptors would steam roll the Wiz and then get some rest but this might be a 6 or gasp 7 game series. Really hope they can steal game 4.
I'm always holding my breath with the Raptors. Nothing is a sure thing, but the odds are that we win in T.O on Wednesday, and then we win one more time either in Washington or back in T.O. for game 7.
The East is pretty close. Even the WEst looks nasty across the board. Luckily we only have to worry about playing one team out of the West if you are so lucky to make it that far.
