2015/16 Toronto Raptors Season Thread !!

[thewalker]

Big test tonight against the Pacers! They have a great home crowd and are playing pretty well this year. Paul George is epic right now.

Second night of a back to back, if I was a betting man, (well, if I was a good one anyway, I suck at it this year) I would have to pick Pacers, but let's see what the Raptors can do.

Don't know if anyone has been following tonight's game but what a weird start. Raps up nearly 20 points at 6 minutes and a bit. Then score 2 points in the next 6 minutes whilst Pacers score 20 or so.

Can anyone make sense of that.

My sense is with all the injuries they are over matched by he Pacers and quick lead had more to do with how bad Pacers were playing then how good the Raptors were playing

OR........in plain English.....The current bench is not NBA quality!

...had to go to store and it was 25-6 and that's as good as Raps have looked all year....came back at halftime and everything I bought tasted like shit......

.....and the beat goes on.....and the beat goes on........

hope the the boys enjoy the day off cuz the rest of the week will be a real humbug otherwise.....

gfe some positive news.....JV about 2 weeks away as per JV on last night's pregame show, nothing on DC. Maybe Ross will get a hangnail and miss a couple of months, that too, would be positive news.

With two starters out the bench is forming some of the starting unit ... The second unit when healthly has Ross who is more cold then hot ..

So.....why is he starting? other than the fact , they gave him that contract, why is he on the roster? Powell needs to play, even if they just give him a few minutes of meaningful playing time each game. The garbage minutes he plays at the end of a game are usually against the other teams reserves, and while he does well it does not give you a true picture of what he can or can't do.

Don't know why he is starting or why the 11 million ... At least Bargs avg 20 points a season for his 11 million ..

On a non Raptor topic .. Those Bucks beat the Warriors but lose to the Lakers in same week .. More weird then Raps first quarter

 

[whynot888]

Everytime I see Ross on the floor I get so frustrated and annoyed.

...we'll talk to you again in two weeks!......like the idea of playing Powell more to see what he brings since they won't DLeague him....DC is the fulcrum here...BB and Bebe have provided good minutes for JV but the 3 spot with your fav and JJ has been (wait for it....!) ineffective. Let's see what happens till New Years. This stretch could have been a 14-0 possibility, though good would be 11,12 while anything less than 9 wins will indicate that we might have seen the best already!.....

Exactly my thoughts...how do you think Kidd feels!?! Lol......

Although during this streak the Warriors won many late buzzard games against bad teams .. The Nets almost won two games against the Warriors

Yes, you could say the Warriors were circling around their opponents and waiting to feast!

Tw, the GIF that gives on giving day after day after ...... I swear whenever that sig is ^^^^^^^ me, it feels....right!!!

Rguy, the Raps also almost took two on that streak too if you recollect, so this circling theory of TW's has traction....

.......and now a game in that den of inequity and cheats ( remember the "I got that call wrong" game!) and then another visit to South Beach to see If DD can win his second game ever there....then home for Kings and Mavs ...tough little stretch here before Christmas...4-0 would be the ultimate Xmas gift.....
....and before it gets really crazy, Season's greetings, Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year to all my fellow Raps fiends and those who aren't!! :thumb::canada:

 

[wonkyknee]

Word is Golden State will torch Milwaukee tomorrow night....retribution for grandstanding after the win. Thompson and Curry might even play the 4th quarter and ring up the score!!!!!

Klay and Curry had some definitive thoughts in their interviews on this and I wouldn't be surprised if The O / U on GS points is 135! Bucks are going to be told to buck off for sure..!

.....and definitely no need to comment on that last night except that refs seem to fall asleep in Charlotte as much as the Raps do...!

Lol, thanks, man but I'm taking a break on betting til the New Year, I was way behind this year, I think K Douglas is the man when it comes to betting, I suck. Here is a non-Raptors girl post so you don't get distracted.
