  • Game#...20...points in 4 minutes and 17 seconds Pelies at Raps Sunday January 9th 6:00pm on TSN



    This was scarily prescient.

    Not sure how we gave up nearly that much in the first half to the "Jazz".
    But thank Doc Naismith (the original one),
    Freddy remembered something







    No..not that.
    He remembered that he's bad ass NBA Champion.
    That was a treat for the ages.
    And you know what else reminds me of the Raps being NBA Champions?

    The Pelies!
    Why? We'll in a bit of statistical oddity given that they're a west coast team,
    this is my third Pellies game thread in three years.
    The first game you might remember.









    And then, after the chaos that followed,
    we started the season against them again the next year
    (seems to me that the league might have wanted to mix things up from a bad juju kind of thing)

    So once again,






    The Pelies are coming.

    And while the Pelies have been here quite a bit over the past three years,
    there's one Pelican that hasn't






    No...not that guy



    Not that guy either!


    THIS GUY!






    Wictory Baby!


    While Demar may have died for our sins....err, I mean, was traded to San Antonio for Kawhi,
    the JV trade for Gasol was the last needed step in the bridge to the Championship.


    And just as the Serge tribute video in an empty stadium was a bit of a head (thigh?) scratcher,







    It just won't seem right not being able to applaud JV
    Maybe they can give him a ring instead

    'Cause when he was here, he gave his all









    Welcome back Jonas.
    Just don't hit 8 three in a half against us

    What else can I say about the Pelies?
    Ingram can always go off for a ton
    I think there used to be a guy on the team name Zion
    There is a rookie on the team named Herb.
    I think that may be a first in the NBA
    Not sure if this guy ever played






    Basically, they lose to good teams and can beat bad teams.
    Let's see which one of us shows up on Sunday

    That's if for now.

    I'm beat.







    Gotta go





    Go Raps

    Shame JV finally returns to the ACC and there is no crowd to treat him. Expecting a another cringe tribute video in an empty stadium

        JV is a treat. So sorry he couldn't be in the championship lineup. So happy he has reinvented himself. A travesty he hasn't been given a ring.

            Finally we get to see the true big starting lineup that I have wanted to see

              Yeah I think this is the starting lineup that makes the most sense going forward. Gary will still play a ton of minutes and close a lot even if he’s the 6th man
              The name's Bond, James Bond.

                Even if it looks good. Not sure if this mean a shift the that starting 5 full time. Makes sense to start Khem against teams with real centers like JV. Although the number of teams with that is dwindling.
                I think the thing that would make this stick is less how good the starters look, and more if Gary off the bench can fix our 2nd unit struggles.

                  Qualitative eye test, but Raptors' defense doesn't look like it's scrambling as much to rotate with Birch in / Trent out

                    small ball for closing line ups big ball for starting games.

                      We have no guards off the bench.

                              Yeah he is out because of ankle swelling.
