Raptors Discussion: v96| Playoff Round 1 vs Philadelphia

[djdev]

Wow. Good for him. Did you guys think he would win? How did those top 4 do?

i was hopeful but there were so many media members who clearly have never watched the Raptors that i feared would just default vote for mobley based off of the narrative from earlier this year.

that did happen, but he made it impossible to ignore him with the role he played getting the 5th seed post all-star game.

World: Why did they take Barnes over Suggs????????

Masai: Dont worry, I gotchu

 

[djdev]

results here, mannnn it was so close.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Damn, well deserved, I know its already obvious Masai knows what he is doing, but like, now noone can ever question this man.

Went against the grain and got the rookie of the year, and he's already brought us a championship, one day there will be a Masai statue.

Also, I loved Barnes as soon as I saw that article who wrote to Toronto fans and introducing himself, that was the most character move I have ever seen in my life, we are witnessing the beginning of a new Raptor for life, one day he'll share the same space as Lowry.

It should have been close but Barnes should have won and I’m happy he did. Many were afraid of the American bias and Mobley would get the nod but the right choice was made.

Among all rookies, Barnes lead the league in; VORP, BPM, Win Share, WinShare per 48 and minutes played.

Head to head with Mobley - Barnes was better than Mobley in; Games played, minutes played, points per game, efficient FG%, 3P%, 2P%, FT%, defensive rebounds per game, assists per game, steals per game and turnovers per game.

Mobley is a big and should be drastically better than Barnes in these categories and they were pretty much the exact same statistically; field goal attempts and adjusted points per game.

Outside of rebounds, Mobley had no distinct advantage over Barnes and rebounds were still close; 8.3 rebounds per game as a 7 footer vs 7.5 rebounds per game as a 6’9” forward.

Barnes apart of a Raps team who were a higher seed than Cleveland and actually made it to the playoffs.

It should have been “close” but when you look at it closely, Barnes was clearly a better player.

Masai was not afraid to trade a core piece in order to put this team over the hump, unlike some other guy

 

[ronzigato]

ROY.. yet another reason everyone should trust in Masai and Bobby. Way to go, Scottie!

 

[djdev]

fred "bet on yourself" Vanvleet is gonna costa us another game and the season if he keeps this up. so selfish for a PG

 

[Suntouchable13]

Thad Young = stud!

 

[stickty111]

Congrats to Barnes. Masai has proven me wrong

 

[Aashir]

Trent ego shoots too much

Dude takes some really dumb shots

 

[The Nemesis]

It's funny that the saltiest fans about the Rookie of the Year voting don't seem to be Cavs fans, but Pistons ones

 

[hamzarocks]

Siakam playing nice today.

if we pull this one out, well it's 3-1

Doc Rivers has a record related to 3-1 series leads

Overall not expecting anything just enjoying the game

 

[Dr.Funk]

Great stuff from Pascal and Thad today. Need OG to get the offense going.

 

[hamzarocks]

what a bail out call for Harden on the 3

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Harden is such a fraud. When the NBA decides someone is gonna be a star, they really commit to the con.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Embiid doesn't even get touched and he's crying like a little bitch. Shit is embarrassing.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Embiid is such a bitch, also he is on his ass a lot. f***ing loser.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Embiid doesn't even get touched and he's crying like a little bitch. Shit is embarrassing.

It worked a lot for him earlier. Just not working for him now.

No surprise that he has struggled a lot as a result.

[Dr.Funk]

Career playoff best for Siakim plus having the responsibility of being the primary ball handler after Freddie left injured.

 

[Michelangelo]

76ers are all losers

Harden, Embiid, f*** them all

 

[Suntouchable13]

LOL Harden comes in there like a fake tough guy.

 

[hamzarocks]

Embid such a a bitch

Man time like this makes me wish Kawhi was still here. We'd be slapping these fools with him. This series should be 2-2 right now, despite the choke job in game 3 where we missed Scottie.

 

[Pink Mist]

76ers thread on the Flyers forum is hilarious to read. Complaining about the reffing and the lack of fouls Embiid is getting now that the refs arent buying his constant flops.

Team and their fans are a bunch of babies
