Although this is even better
Or maybe this was the best part
Well that was something.
Indy up 11 WITH THE BALL with under 3 minutes to go
2:58 | Domantas Sabonis defensive rebound | 116 - 105 |
And then insanity.
Like, this kind of insanity
But extended for 3 amazing minutes.
And the guy who did that was on the losing end of the floor
One other thing to note from this game
I was mini ranting in a thread the other day about how awesome Kyle is.
Nothing too remarkable about this sequence
4:32 | Victor Oladipo bad pass (Terence Davis steals) | 75 - 64 | ||
4:27 | Myles Turner blocks Terence Davis 's 5-foot two point shot | 75 - 64 | ||
4:24 | Myles Turner defensive rebound | 75 - 64 | ||
4:23 | Jeremy Lamb misses two point shot | 75 - 64 | ||
4:23 | Kyle Lowry defensive rebound | 75 - 64 | ||
4:16 | Terence Davis makes 25-foot three point jumper (Kyle Lowry assists) | 75 - 67 | ||
4:14 | Pacers Full timeout | 75 - 67 |
As soon as Kyle got the ball back, he was laser focussed on getting the ball back to Terrence and setting him up for an open 3. Which he nailed.
Sure Kyle gets an assist but it means so much more than that.
Build that man a statue.
End of rant.
Anyways, despite me getting ready to find one of those "guys playing violin as the titanic went down" gifs, the championship calibre Raps pulled it off and here we are in uncharted territory.
For however long you've followed this team, you've never been here.
As it was prophesied, 12 games in a row
**checks alex wong's twitter feed**...no prediction on game 13 yet.
But here we are at game 13, a place we have never been before.
Wasn't sure where to go with this one.
Could have gone with The Baker's Dozen
Might have gone with the Bar Mitzvah theme
Could have been inspired by what we must have looked like to the Pacers over the last 3 minutes
After all, the game is on a Friday
But this was the best 13 I could come up with
Although, I guess technically, I could have gone with
In either case, that's a pretty impressive thirteen.
The Feb 6th trade deadline has come and gone.
Nobody in, nobody out.
This is the team we brought to the dance,
this is the one we're going to win with.
Speaking of 13, here's a little math question for you
We all know Raptors + Kawhi = Championship (and thus Raptors = Championship - Kawhi...however that's not the point I'm making)
But what does Raptors + Kawhi - Kawhi = ?
In theory, it should equal "Raptors"
But do you ever remember a Raptors team that was 5th in the entire league in clutch scoring?
Not a Raptor team without Kawhi. But here we are. The new and improved Raptors
5th in the league in clutch scoring.
Oh...and who's that one below us in 6th?
1 | Oklahoma City Thunder | 34 | 22 | 12 | 4.1 | 67.6 | 32.4 | 47.3 | 15.8 | 21.2 | 3.5 | 31.5 | 17.9 | 31.5 | 24.1 | 75.9 | 53.8 | 46.2 | 31.0 | 69.0 |
2 | Denver Nuggets | 31 | 21 | 10 | 3.9 | 69.8 | 30.2 | 46.7 | 13.2 | 23.0 | 4.2 | 30.3 | 13.6 | 33.4 | 50.7 | 49.3 | 86.4 | 13.6 | 59.6 | 40.4 |
3 | Philadelphia 76ers | 32 | 19 | 13 | 3.1 | 61.1 | 38.9 | 44.4 | 10.9 | 21.3 | 5.9 | 34.3 | 11.3 | 33.5 | 49.1 | 50.9 | 82.4 | 17.6 | 57.1 | 42.9 |
3 | Utah Jazz | 29 | 19 | 10 | 3.5 | 60.1 | 39.9 | 42.9 | 4.5 | 27.1 | 8.6 | 30.1 | 13.5 | 38.3 | 40.4 | 59.6 | 66.7 | 33.3 | 48.1 | 51.9 |
5 | Toronto Raptors | 27 | 17 | 10 | 3.6 | 57.8 | 42.2 | 40.5 | 4.0 | 30.4 | 10.9 | 29.1 | 11.3 | 36.4 | 48.0 | 52.0 | 72.0 | 28.0 | 56.0 | 44.0 |
6 | LA Clippers | 24 | 16 | 8 | 3.6 | 57.0 | 43.0 | 39.6 | 5.4 | 33.8 | 10.8 | 26.6 | 9.9 | 34.2 | 34.1 | 65.9 | 84.0 | 16.0 | 52.2 | 47.8 |
Anyways, that's enough for now
No need to introduce the Pacers
I think we all remember them well.
Instead, let's just sit back and remember the last three weeks of record breaking Raptors basketball. May it keep on growin'.
