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

[habamillions]

Good game. Would like better starts. Got the W thats all that matters in the end. Another siakum career high in points

 

[Jozay]

Big win. The bench was BRUTAL though.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Pascal is becoming a prime time player.

 

[stickty111]

Solid win all things considered. It was a nice bounceback after the last game.

Bench needs to get going, and help out the starters.

 

[canucksfan]

Looks like Lowry is in but Kawhi isn't.

 

[Eyedea]

Pure speculation, but I feel like acquiring Kawhi has helped us get back the old Powell.

 

[Plat87]

What a complete game by the whole team without Kawhi, the Pacers were in a roll too like 13-2 last 15 games.

 

[canucksfan]

Great game. Bench had a strong comeback after a terrible performance yesterday.

If the bench can repeat performances like last night then the Raptors will be in good shape. On another note, I'm very happy with how the team has performed in spite of the injuries they have faced to key guys. It will only benefit the Raptors come playoff time.

We are 30-12 with Kyle and Kawhi both playing at the same time, what, 15 games? Crazy.

There is no doubt that this team will be just fine once everyone is playing game in and game out. Khawi, Kyle and Jonas are not timbit players!!! We will be unstoppable like we were at the beginning of the season as long as we keep getting healthy towards the last half of season.

The good in all of this is that players like Siakam, Ibaka, Wright, FVV and others are getting valuable minutes and touches to round out their games and getting themselves on track. It will only bode well for the Raps if they finally get healthy and have bench players playing at their peak when it happens.

Raptors waive guard Lorenzo Brown - Sportsnet.ca

unfortunate how it played out for Brown, definitely a guy I will root for as he continues his career.

Are we ever going to have a first round draft pick again??

Would trade the moon for those Duke boys.

 

[stickty111]

Carter's last game in Toronto. However, I wouldnt mind Masai picking him up for the playoffs.

Imagine picking him up and then the team proceeds to win it all. How awesome would that be? Vince getting his first ring as a Raptor in his last season.

Not like our first round pick would even be remotely close to selecting them lol.

He never said it was his last game bro.. it MIGHT be his last game. As of now, he would like to keep playing and is eyeing the all time games played record, but also managed expectations and said he won't know for sure until the summer.

 

[Suntouchable13]

What about adding Lin around the trade deadline? Delon is not cutting it for me. Lin is an extra ball handler/shooter that I'd love to add.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Ibaka is awful tonight. What the hell is he doing?

 

[Eyedea]

Trae Young really thought he could attack the rim with Kawhi on him lol.

 

[canucksfan]

Kawhi is so good on defense.

 

[Jozay]

Please dont leave Kawhi

 

[Suntouchable13]

Vince's mom looks like she has not aged a day. Her son is 41 and she doesn't look like she is that much older.

 

[GQS]

And THIS IS WHY Kawhi is SO MUCH BETTER than Demar. Kawhi was simply killing it on defense in the 4th along with the rest of team and he had 6 STEALS!! These are the kind of games that we lose with Demar on the floor most of the time because we would never ever get that kind of defensive play from him. Instead we win a tight game that without great defense we would've easily lost and having Kawhi on our team instead of Demar makes it so that we're not playing 4 vs 5 on defense anymore.

I was just going by what I heard before he said he might still play.
