Raptors Discussion: v77| Season of Kawhi III: No Kawhi, no problem -or- the death & rebirth of Kyle Lowry

[The Nemesis]

How come Lowry is never on the bench?

Probably getting worked on.

Hotter take: he hates this team and everyone on it who's not DeMar. Especially Kawhi.

I hope so. It just looks curious to me. I hope there are no issues.

Looks like Green just pulled a hamstring etc

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Kawhi playing like a FMVP
An effortless 45 points. His handles, his size, his speed, his jumper, his feel for the game....this man is a joy to watch
Could've hit 60 if he wanted to

Congrats to Pascal too on a career high. If you give him any space, he's going to score on you and his jumper was on point as well.

Big game from Norm Powell as well. If he can continue to play like this, he could be the scorer that we're looking for off the bench. Don't discount his defense either as he made some good plays on the other end.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Kawhi played like a cyborg last night. His left oooooh

We lack toughness
Need to trade this Lowry and Kawhi trash out of here, play for the tie
We need grinders who can slow down the game and gritty in the corners and no more softness
Good Canadian kids and blood on the ice! Oops! Wrong thread, Goodbye!

It;s funny how much the Demar verse Toronto narrative is getting talked about here, I almost forgot that Kawhi is also heading home for the first time.

Yup - "epic" game tonight, we'll see for sure who won the trade!

DD threatening to put up 50 (a very bold number!) against us. Kawhi putting up a career-high 45 for us in his last game. (how is it possible that's his career high when DD's is 52?)

Should be fun.

 

[LaPlante94]

Anyone else feel this game won't live up to it's hype? I just feel like Demar will get shutdown and the Spurs can't play D so Leonard is just gonna go off.

Spurs have been playing well of late.

 

[The Nemesis]

Uh oh, Kawhi's not watching the retrospective package. Let's start the narrative that he's an ungrateful ****bag.


Also did the Spurs PA guy just say "Toronto Rappers"?

 

[The Nemesis]

I forgot Rudy Gay was still in the league.

 

[Kurtz]

I forgot Rudy Gay was still in the league.

He is, and he's back to being pretty good.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Lmao Kawhi let’s goooo

 

[The Nemesis]

Kawhi hits his first shot. DeMar misses his.

Clearly we win the trade

 

[Muston Atthews]

Kawhi looks jacked up, all over the place to start

 

[Muston Atthews]

Let’s hit an open 3

 

[robertmac43]

I just cannot understand why the Toronto media didn't put more into the fact that we are playing ex Raptor superstar Rudy Gay.... :p

 

[LaPlante94]

My prediction didn't age well

 

[stickty111]

This is embarassing

 

[robertmac43]

one of our most underwhelming starts of the year

 

[The Nemesis]

Everything is awful.

Blow it up. Trade Kawhi to the Clippers.

 

[robertmac43]

0/7 form beyond the arc..... ew

 

[Clark4Ever]

I had a bad feeling about this one. We'll get 'em in the rematch next month.

 

[robertmac43]

One of these days the open looks will start going in...
