With Lowry, Gasol and Powell all out, a defeat would have been excused. Yet, VanVleet, Davis and Thomas, all undrafted, scored 64 points in the 14th consecutive Raptors victory against the Nets.
The story about Davis and his mom is really heartwarming. Abandoned by his dad, his mom worked 16 hours at two jobs to care for Davis and siblings. Then he went undrafted on draft day. But his mom assured him God had a plan for him. And now here he is, starting his first home game as a rookie and scoring 20 points and 5 offensive boards. So just as Lowry tutored VanVleet to stardom, here we have VanVleet tutoring TD2 on his way to stardom. The ability of Masai and his team to find diamonds in the rough - except for McCaw - is unmatched in any sport. Masai is a genius. And so is Nick Nurse.
Have you noticed Chris Boucher with his new mohawk hair style? Suits him much better than the corn rows he had before.
Cheers
