I'll have the new game thread up tomorrow everybody.

Rooting for the Spurs and our ex-Raps tonight vs the Nuggets.

You havent even countered, but just some unnecessary pseudo below the belt tough talk in a forum.

Guys. I told you to drop it. No one wants to read your bickering.

This thread is broken for me... Blaming it all on RR. Why did we make a change during the most important season in franchise history? Not even Inthepaints epic thread could save us.. We were doomed from the moment my thread stopped showing new posts. That my theory and im sticking to it.

[Torassic1]

Just had a chance to watch the game....abysmal. I knew they weren't going to steamroll Orlando, unlike what some people thought...no points by Kyle. Sickening.

[The Claw Reborn]

countered what?

Technology can give some people these days some ideas but i digress

OMG enough already you imbecile

wow, damn dude you are on a roll but i will leave this to the guys

[hotfuzz]

Man, I've had some hours to digest and I'm still so pissed. That was fucking embarrassing. How are you going to let that happen? We're supposed to be contenders?

[The Claw Reborn]

personal attack? Buddy, you have posted literally dozens of the same BS posts, same message (BS message) same same same. Honestly, get over it, you behave like a 12 year old having a tantrum and you expect what? Respect?

This is a forum and dont know you lol. So it never occurred to me that i warrant respect from a random person like u. What i just said that the low ball attacks you spew ever since you started posting here in RR actually legitimizes whatever miniscule knowledge you have about the game, thats all.

im actually willing to move on but accusing me that i fuck my mother can get you in some places a ticket

Noticed that Raptors in the regular season cannot hold leads on most occasions because of Nurse’s experimentations of his rotation.

Another thing, Can someone tell me if they have seen in this first game any new strategy that this coach was bragging about he was trying to keep in his safe and willing to roll out when it matters?

Lowry shit on the bed but a close game like this would still fall on the coach’s onus

OMG enough already you imbecile

--I got hit but the ugly head of the Game 1 curse again. Over to you for the next thread @Scraptor.

--Said this on the the front page, but wanna ask here too: Is Kawhi on some kind of minute restriction or something? Why a coach would wait 6 minutes into the 4th on a neck-and-neck game to put your best player back in is beyond me. Reeks of a rookie coach too caught up on spreadsheets.

--Someone please tell Kyle that just because you're the 3rd/4th scoring option within the starters and you don't need to go for 20 anymore, doesn't mean you can't go the whole game without a bucket. There's a difference. We know he can do everything else out there, time to get in bed with his shooting coach, forget about other shit in practice and start building some muscle memory back from 3.

--An old coach once told me: there are usually 3 tell-tale signs of a nervous team: Turnovers, missed free throws, and missed defensive assignments (because the D is when a nervous player takes a mental break before his next offensive possession). Raptors didn't have a ton of turnovers, but they sure missed a lot of free throws and had some surprising blown coverages on D, especially by their guards. Looked like a bit of the yips to me. Hopefully this L will jolt them and they'll come out spitting fire next one

good post, i concur
