Raptors Discussion: v78| It's playoff time | Rd 1 vs ORL | Gm3: Fri 4/19 7pm ET/4pm PT | SN

[The Nemesis]

Raptors aren't playing well enough to be winning, but man, refs gonna ref.

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh **** off, ref... jesus...

Ariza was not planted. Meanwhile it's illegal screens galore on the Wizards end.

 

[BorntoLose]

good to see some glimpses of Lins playmaking

 

[BorntoLose]

Pascal going off for 40 tonight? this guy continues to impress skys the limit

 

[canucksfan]

OG having a great game too

 

[The Nemesis]

that's a blocking foul? Awesome...

 

[La Masse]

OG and Siakam going off tonight

 

[canucksfan]

Refs are terrible

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

How much did the Wizards pay these clowns

 

[Marshy]

Refs seem bad.

This is not a recording.

 

[The Nemesis]

Must be nice to be an NBA ref when you're sitting in the locker room and thinking "you know what? I'm making tonight's game about me." and be totally confident that doing so is just fine.

meanwhile Matt's laugh. This is why Matt/Jack games are so much better than Matt/Leo ones.

 

[La Masse]

Siakam with a new career high 42 pts

 

[La Masse]

Whose the guy under the Raps basket... grey hair and blue jeans. He seems to be at every raptors game including on the road. Just a rabid fan?

 

[djdev]

pascal siakam is going to be a superstar..and soon

 

[mikeyz]

44 points for Siakam.

 

[canucksfan]

Really enjoying watching the Raptors this year. Haven't missed a game in months.

 

[Hadoop]

Siakam (aka P Spice) dropping 44 points in less than 33 minutes. What a beast he is turning out to be.

So glad they kept Lowry as well, as you could see him showing Lin the ropes today, not to mention telling Nurse to give Siakam a curtain call at the end. His back is definitely a question-mark in terms of going deep in the playoffs, but this guy is the best floor general Toronto has had, ever.

 

[Club]

What a game by Siakam

 

[BorntoLose]

fun game overall. I hope this team can form some kind of chemistry with a full line up by playoffs lots more to give

im more concerned with our lousy 3 point shooting, our defense can be elite, but with the fact this team is not a good rebounding team, when we jack up terrible threes early in the shot clock it doesnt give our defense time to set up properly and we look disjointed and confused. ive been waiting all year for a shooters to get it together from deep(outside of danny green and norm very recently) but its troubling at this point in the season. at least IMHO. lets hope lin and gasol help with that..but i want MU to go out and get us an assassin from the 3 point line.

 

[stickty111]

Siakam is going to be a star. OG has also been great the last few games.

 

[Clark4Ever]

What a night for our young guns in Kawhi's absence. Siakam just keeps getting better and OG had his best game of the season.

Lin looked pretty good too considering he just got here.

ye thats what helped us tonight depth 3s from Siakam/OG. Idk if theres anything left in the buyout market but Gasol should shoot more for sure 35% on 4 attempts a game is respectable

He was an absolute steal in the draft. His ceiling is unbelievable.

maybe we still get macklemore, although seems like the deal is deead. in spot usage hes been pretty good i believe(38% ish). lets hope OG can turn the corner now on what has been a very rough year. pskills is literally getting better every game, his 3 point shot looks pretty good now..and compared to last year he looks like larry bird lol
