Game #79: Toronto Raptors 92 - Indiana Pacers 73

[wayner]

The sad thing is we may lose Stackhouse.

True, but good for him as he deserves an NBA position. If the Raps crash and burn in the playoffs then do you think about firing Casey moving Stack from the 905 to the 416? Not that I think that is likely to happen, just planning for all contingencies.

Yep, last night when they beat the warriors by 20, GSW had Durant, Thompson and Green. Durant lead the team in points and assists, Klay Thompson lead in rebounds. But you're right, they were short of 1 out of their 4 all-stars (Curry).

Their best player.

Lol. No they're not. Did Curry even play in either games? Durant? Green? Thomppson?

100% agree with this. Beating a bad team like the Pacers and a team missing half of their roster like the Celtics is one thing. But can they do this against the LeBron's?

Based from what i saw the last 2 weeks? the answer is no.

You guys should get together and your two glasses half empty would be full .....

[tDotted]

Pacers are a top 5 team in the East and have a top 10 offense in the league. Won 6 of their last 7 (and just beat a KD-led Warriors team by 20 points) but all of a sudden they're a bad team......

Lol some of you guys are something else

[G__Deane]

Great game and it was awesome to clinch #1 with a W at home rather than a Celtics loss.

People here get so easily fooled.

The Pacers really are not a bad team. They're really good. They beat the Warriors twice in the last two weeks, and had won 6 of 7 coming into tonight.

Dumbest thing i've read. They fuckin played the Pacers and the Celtics without Irving and bunch of rotation players. Can they play like this against the Cavs?

This is the first time in LeBron's regular-season career that he and an opponent have both recorded triple-doubles in the same game. https://t.co/w0hzmGeePL

Raptors are 7-0 at home this season against the Celtics, Cavs, Sixers and Pacers, and won those 7 games by 146 points.

I think that matters.

Hey remember when everyone was worried about the Raptors defence and then they held two teams that had won 6 of their last 7 games to their season lows in points in consecutive games?

Yes, they can. Like when we blew them up by 34 with Lebron, and when we blew out the Celtics twice, with AND without Kyrie. On the other hand, your team, the Chicago Bulls, cannot.
