The same way Paul scares y'all Demar and Kyle should scare them. Tucker's defence should give George nightmares really lol. Oh yea they should also fear JV who always give Turner fits."Stay steamy"

GLF wrote: View PostOh we were looking like we were going to get kicked out the first round before this trade. No question. Since we have picked up the defence and have found ways to win without Lowry and have seen improvement in Demar's overall game I have full confidence we get out the first round now.

Nice win. Came out like gangbusters, coasted until the 4th when we coasted a little too much, closed it out easily with our closing lineup. No sweat.
Again I question the choice to let the bench unit struggle along with no offensive options (they've been good defensively, thank goodness, or they'd be bleeding points) when you are going to match up small at the end and JV is sitting right there. Mind you, JV looked pretty banged up in this one, probably good to get him a bit of rest, so, hey, small concerns in good times.
DeMar struggled a bit in this one with the zone and the whistle, but did well not to force too much. Thought he could have used screens better rather than isolating on Matthews. Pat was great, Ibaka solid even with the cold shooting in the middle frames. JV very good early and solid throughout. Powell seemed to forget how to play basketball. Joseph was missing everything for much of the night but closed out strong. Wright looked good again besides a couple rookie mistakes, as did Poeltl. Tucker solid as ever.
What's there to even say here? This team is just executing.Last edited by DanH; Sun Mar 26, 2017, 05:12 AM.

The more minutes the bench unit gets when the games are still being played for real, the faster the matriculation process to bona fide NBA players is for the likes of Wright and Poeltl and Norm.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

Raptors' post-break rotation a lot different than pre-break or previous seasons, but bench lineups are still > starting lineup. pic.twitter.com/RBmu5rXQXT
