Everything (2016-2017) Regular Season Game Threads

[Ball]

To think that last season's Raptors team would be sitting at 1st right now (we had 50 wins this time last year)!

Casey just used "sacheyed" in a post game. I don't even know if I spelled that correctly. He's peaked.

Sashay

For context, he was expressing his concern about Payton sashaying to the rim at will

LOL how can such a legend be such a punk bitch at the same time, I think this dude got a bit too much attention at a young age

TSN just caught the last few minutes of the Cavs Spurs.... the talking heads are simply stunned at the shit kicking the Lebrons took at the hands of the Spurs...

The defense was again horrible... Crap.. we might catch the Lebrons for 2nd...

Lebron is going to therapy with LaVar Ball

Better keep an eye out for their shitty play in the playoffs. If they take like 6 games to take out their first round opponent, then I'd say we have a pretty good shot of beating them if we meet them in the 2nd round.

Lebron LITERALLY rolled over and played dead tonight when it was clear they were gonna lose. I think it's time to dust off the panic button.

They better figure it out soon, cause the great white is bleeding and there's 2 or 3 eastern teams smelling blood in the water. The calendar says habits should not need forming anymore..

i can't believe orlando payed bismack 70 million dollars

Imagine how cool it feels to be Biz.

I'm gonna assume Cavs will turn it up in playoffs.

Yep

Didn't watch the game yet.. will try to do it tomorrow morning. Allowing 112 points.. was that a pace thing or was it just a poor defensive effort? The one thing I was loving about the Raptors' recent success was their defense. So hoping it was just a pace thing.

Awful first quarter defense, settled down a bit after that, and points off turnovers were a factor all night. They had their patented locked-in stretch to start the 4th, allowing just 2 points in first 4 minutes of the quarter, but it was more the turn-on-when-needed defense rather than the consistent, quarter-after-quarter effort we've seen lately.

Wait seriously? This is real?

Nice win. The early defence was a little shoddy, but some of it was just Orlando hitting shots. I thought the early lackadaisical offence was worse. The bench defence was pretty bad in the first half, and the offence got no better.

But they settled down after that. Nice to see the team just decide they had enough once the starters checked back in and immediately blow open the game (though the bench gave a good bit of it away again). Still, no worries, Orlando never looked like a threat to do anything after the first 4-5 minutes.

Everyone was pretty great in this one, so I'm not going to go through all the names like usual. Three stars were DD, JV and Cory.

Wow, keep it rolling. Now only need to go 5-3 to hit 50. Crazy.
