[stickty111]

Now that was an impressive win.

 

[Tuggy]

Team looks really good.

 

[Stylizer1]

Got a link for that?

I'm pretty sure you've already searched it.

 

[Plat87]

Outscored the Hornets 72-40 in second half, what a dominant victory. OG showing how much of a beast he can be and Terrence Davis is the next diamond in the rough.

 

[Advanced stats]

7 guys in double digits for points, this team gels so well.

 

[The Big Swede13]

Whats the story behind Davis? Seems like he could be a good bench player for us the first time he stepped on the court. No teams wanted this guy lol?

He turned down a 2 way contract from the Nuggets, they probably only offered him a 2 way because they have too many guards. He bet on himself and the Raptors are betting on him, he has so much potential.

From participation trophies to participation championships rings. Human beings are becoming insufferable pansies.

NBA Participation League!

 

[Giuseppe Sallo]

TD got sum nice passing ability... quick n easy!

 

[jcollins]

TD showing that he deserves in the rotation when everyone's back.

RHJ too!

OG's gonna have to eventually lose that eye to get a call.

I think the team is playing fantastic considering it’ll be a long season it’ll be interesting to see when they get the players back how they play against the top-tier teams with the full lineup because they did pretty good with a depleted lineup

These injuries could be a bit of a blessing in the long-term.

We've seen what these depth guys can do, and Nurse should feel a little more comfortable using a bigger rotation and giving our key guys some rest.

I dig this take. Builds confidence for the whole franchise too.

Next man up mentality and all these guys believe they can contribute at a high level.

Its seriously ridiculous, how are these refs missing these calls?

Yup, the injuries kinda forced Nurses hand to see what we got in these guys a little earlier than he would like...but it looks like we got something.

Chris Boucher only shot one FT last night.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

RHJ fits in so well with this team.

Hustles his ass off on both ends while still liking to have fun with the guys. The Raps will have to be a defensive force to go deep in the playoffs this year and he will make a great addition on that front.

 

[LaPlante94]

Chris Boucher only shot one FT last night.

That's not even the craziest thing. Siakam shot 3. This is someone who is constantly attacking the basket and is struggling to get to the free throw line. Shot 9 FTA the last 3 games combined which is crazy.

Good point.

I guess I’ve gotten used to it with him.

 

[Mickey Marner]

15 FTA for the Raptors last night, Harden averages 14.5 FTA per game...

 

[Albert Iafrate]

15 FTA for the Raptors last night, Harden averages 14.5 FTA per game...

That is by far the most impressive thing about last night. Scored 132 points and shot 15 free-throws?!?

That is f***ed.

Edit: 58 points in the paint and 15 free-throws?!?

 

[A1LeafNation]

It's a hard for me to determine which team I like more...

2018 chokers with Kawhi but play great.

2019 champs without Kawhi playing great.

I'm liking the later more.

do you even watch raptors games at all or did you just watch orlando and philly series?
these so-called "chokers" won NBA championship. Sure, they all choked during first 2 series for whatever reason. But they played bucks and golden state as a team. Especially against Golden state when kawhi was limping all series since getting his thigh aggravated, all players stepped up BIG. Even during the regular season they ALL played as a team all year going 22-5 without kawhi. There is never going to be nearly as good team as they had in 2018/19. Btw, 22-5 is more impressive than this year's 9-4. Our team this year is a treadmill team with experience.
