2018/19 Toronto Raptors Season Thread !! Go Raptors Go !!!

[Insidious Von]

Who cares what a family member thinks, Kawhi is his own man bbl.

I've already written about how SoCal is an area of extreme wealth and poverty, Kawhi's father was killed due to no fault of his own. He's not going to the Lakers and he's not banking his trust on a loony like Steve Ballmer.

...he's a smart Fun Guy.

I saw Lowry's wife, but don't know what Kawhi's GF looks like. BTW, they weren't singing O'Canada. They were chanting "Lets go Raptors" and "One more game".

According to 680NEWS they were part of the group of Raptor fans who gathered together to sing O'Canada after the game ended.

If I recall correctly, only Norm Powell is under contract past 2021. I could see Kawhi signing a short term deal in Toronto before the team gets rebuilt. As long as Masai doesn't get lured to a bigger market I have trust.

Then again, he's such an introvert, who knowns where his motivation is.

No follow up from Schloser - better known as The Urinating Tree - as of yet.

But that doesn't mean he's not lifting a leg at a franchise.

Reports of Kawhi buying a house in Toronto are not true: https://www.cp24.com/news/raptors-s...he-hasn-t-bought-a-house-in-toronto-1.4458746

Kawhi is living in a condo downtown, I'm not speculating on his future plans. I'm going to completely tear down a You Tuber named MJ who claims Kawhi is a sociopath.

He's completely wrong, Kawhi isn't a sociopath, he's a stoic. After his father was killed he could have been a disaster, he chose to make a success of himself. Furthermore he's imparted his mind set on his team mates, no celebrations after the magnificent run at the Oracle Center. A sociopath would be incapble of that, let alone get to one game of a Championship. I doubt Kawhi knows anything about Marcus Aurelius and his code of stoicism but he sure conducts himself that way.

It doesn't help that we had a long nasty winter and spring. Kawhi probably thinks the weather here always sucks.

Need the NUT CRUSHERS to come early and often. Let the Warriors know early it is over tonight!
gfe enjoy the game!
GO RAPTORS!

Those who made false accusations against Kyle Lowry can eat ham and jam and spam a lot.

I'll be watching the game at the Roma Club of Toronto, keeping my fingers crossed that the Raptors prevail. Then Kawhi can serve capecol and prosciutto to the Warriors. The funny thing is, Italy has a 1/4 chance of winning the U20 World Cup and nobody gives a fuck. It's strictly Raptors. On Sirius/XM, Mad Dog Russo called for the Raptors to win it all since the 76ers series.

Btw Chuck doesn't want Shaq to come visit him at his home in Phoenix. He doesn't want Shaq to park his fat ass on his couch.

Apparently, Kawhi's girlfriend loves Toronto and she and Ayahna Lowry are now BFFs. Did you see the two of them together singing O'Canada after game 4?

I don't know much about basketball but it seems to me that only 2 or 3 Raptors are over the age of 30.

Lowry is one to let Kawhi make his own decision. He stayed out of Demar's decision, and Demar stayed out of his. We know that the reality of the NBA business is in Lowry's head and would most likely tell Kawhi to do what makes him happy and they can be friends even living in different cities.

I think it was the advent of Pros playing in the Olympics that spurred all these inter team friendships. Before that you would never imagine a Celtic going to the Lakers or vice versa.(or Lambeer going to Chicago..LOL) Now they are all just one big happy family. (never mind you'd never have seen Magic go join the Celtics after losing to them in the playoffs like Durant did)

for all you nervous and angst ridden Raptor fans

 

[mynameisearl11]

I can't see Raps losing three in a row! Besides gm7 will be at home if needed be. Too many ppl expecting them to close out the series this evening. That makes me nervous a little. LOL!

 

[blixa]

It's unlikely but it's possible. The Warriors lost to Cleveland after they lead 3-1 in the final three years ago.

 

[Tony Figaro]

"Stoic" is the word of the day again used to describe Kawhi Leonard.

 

[|2 /-\ | /|/]

Vince Carter showing love snd support for raptors.

This is quite amazing to hear Vince speak so highly of the raptors and excited...was wondering what is going through his mind ATM.

 

[K Douglas]

So many people seem to be confident that the Raptors will finish it off tonight. I am not one of them. This Warriors team has been there done that. 5 straight years in the NBA Final. This will be the toughest win in the history of the Raptors franchise. Any lapse like we had in game 2 will do us in. If Durant is back tonight will make it an even harder feat.

I am cautiously optimistic of a game 5 win only because Rory McIlroy said so

 

[saxon]

Kawhi destroying the Warriors late in the game and they call a bloody time out. Took away all the momentum and that cost them the game.
