Game #40: Toronto Raptors 130 - OKC Thunder 121

[golden]

Almost at the halfway point. This season has gone by so fast.

It’s been about as stress free & fun a season as I can remember. We have the bragging rights as champs, yet zero pressure to repeat. And still, despite losing our best player & an elite starter, plus a plethora of injuries, we have a good shot at making the ECF and an outside chance at the Finals. Couldn’t have asked for much more.

Lol. You call that stress? You have no idea, man. How long have you been a Raptors fan? I’ve been pretty soft on Lowry this year, tbh. Ask your good buddy Keon.

Hallelujah.

Hopefully we see Boucher and RHJ shift up a position to the 4 and 3, leaving OG and Powell playing 3 and 2 exclusively, and shrinking the guard minutes we need to fill in around Lowry enough that we can't throw the game away with McCaw again.

Not gonna happen but I love the optimism. One can dream lol

LOS ANGELES — Kawhi Leonard more than did his part to make sure the Los Angeles Clippers made quick work of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The All-Star forward scored a season-high 43 points in 28 minutes Tuesday night as the Clippers cruised to a 128-103 rout. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, he became the third NBA player in the shot-clock era to score at least 43 points in under 29 minutes — and the first in franchise history to have at least 40 points in less than 30 minutes.

[Jclaw]

This dude is shooting 47% from 3 for the 905. He's a big (6-6) & very athletic guard. I like the sound of him already.

Any relation to Masai director of scouting IBM Watson?

Raps should consider hiring Alex Cora (ex of the Red Sox) to mount on-court cameras and relay signals to our D as to which way Kawhi or lebron is heading by the looks of their crazy eyes. Also, it's long been known that Colangelo has mics under the visitors bench on during timeouts....

Gasol might get taken badly inside by Shai GA on Wednesday (game thread needed......)
Might mean a few more minutes for Serge or SGA might have a shot at another 20 rebounds
