Raptors Discussion: v71|RIP Bruno era (2014-2017)

[The Nemesis]

Raptors up 21 going into the half

I look forward to Paul Pierce reiterating tomorrow that he wouldn't be scared of the Raptors because they're not "elite"

 

[Eyedea]

Wait, why isn't Lowry choking?

 

[La Masse]

Raptors are putting a beatdown on the Celtics. The 2nd unit is on fire. Irving is so usueless defensively

 

[Suntouchable13]

Haha, Cleveland is about to lose to Orlando.

 

[Eyedea]

Reminder that we got Yak for Banana

 

[Suntouchable13]

Impressive, we clown pounded both Cleveland and Boston at home. Wow.

You know who really scares me? Philly. They can take out any of the top seeds in the conference in the first round. Careful with them.

 

[MJ65]

So happy - big win for the Raptors

“Man the Celtics scare me”

*Boston gets ragdolled by the Raptors*

“You know who REALLY scares me tho..Philly”

Lmao

Sun, I think you may just be scared of the playoffs.

Maybe. As long as the players are not scared, it does not matter.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Nice to see the boys lay a beat down on the Celtics. Can't stand any Boston teams.

Embiid is scary and Simmons and Fultz have stupid potential. They are a powerhouse within 2 years imo.

Brooklyn. Because nobody ever expects Brooklyn.

 

[trellaine201]

Porzingis out for awhile. torn ACL. I think he’s a beast. Enjoy watching him play. Poor knickerbockers.

f*** Brooklyn

 

[The Nemesis]

**** Brooklyn

Get back to work, Masai. Can't have you slacking with the deadline coming up.

 

[Schennanigans]

Didn't watch but nice to see them beat down these clowns.

 

[BTP]

Boston got humbled.

 

[The Nemesis]

John Wall/Wizards drama.

Marcin Gortat tweets about the Wiz having a good "team" win without Wall.

Wall responds that he thought it was disrespectful for Gortat to air his grievances publicly and not call him directly... by whining about it to a reporter instead of going to Gortat directly. Wall then goes on to basically fire a shot across Gortat's bow by claiming that his offence is pretty much all the result of Wall feeding him the ball.

Stay classy, Johnny.

 

[Gary Nylund]

I don't care how bad Cleveland looks right now. Come playoff time LeBron will flip the switch and the Cavs will be incredibly hard to beat.

I don't think this is anywhere near the given I have always considered it to be. BTW, Cleveland lost to Orlando by 18 points last night. They're broken and they won't be easy to fix.

You might be right but I think they are broken. There is no fixing things this time. They won't become a cohesive unit all of a sudden in the playoffs. I still hope we avoid them and that some other team will do the dirty work for us, but they are very beatable.

All this is spot on IMO.

That was a pretty boring game last night.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Last night's beat down was a slight measure of revenge for the Leafs loss last Saturday.

I think the Raps have what it takes to overtake Boston for 1st seed in the East. We have more depth.

As of today, the Raptors bench features four ~1 vorp players (Wright, Siakam, Poeltl, Vanvleet). Its the best bench in the NBA.

Team looks incredibly good this year. Much different than any previous year. They play as a unit, both the starters and the bench. The East is there for the taking...

But I still think they need to add someone else to stand a chance vs GSW/HOU/OKC. Anyone in mind they can trade for?
