Raptors @ Pacers Wednesday June..err, January 23rd on TSN at 7:00 (and other times elsewhere in the world)

Catching up with Deebo

Popovich put the ball in DeRozan's hands on San Antonio's previous offensive possession, with the Spurs trailing by one with 22 seconds left. But after DeRozan held the ball at the top of the key for several seconds, he drove down the right side of the lane and went up for a shot against Sixers forward Wilson Chandler.

Chandler blocked DeRozan's shot, and Philadelphia managed to run off most of the remaining time before Corey Brewerwas fouled. Brewer made one of two free throws, setting up the final play.

The loss was San Antonio's second straight and fourth in six games, but it saw DeRozan, who finished with a team-high 26 points on 12-for-19 shooting, snap a recent shooting slump. Wednesday's loss was the first time DeRozan scored more than 20 points since the Spurs beat the Pistons in Detroit on Jan. 7. Since then, he had scored in single figures twice and shot a combined 35-for-100 (35 percent) from the floor.

That was a fun game. What I liked about it was how good both teams were defensively. Neither team could really get in a rhythm. The Raptors were always in the game.. down by 12 than 10 than 5 than 10 again than 5 or 6.. just always fighting to get back in the game. And you can see how tired everyone was.. especially Lowry and Serge. Yet they were digging in for each possession.

There were a few things they could have done better. The CJ pass to Green was poorly timed. Lowry switched onto Young, etc, etc.. but they were right in there at the end. To bad we couldn't sweep them, but I'd love to play them in the playoffs with a healthy Kawhi and JV. They will be tough but an easy out I bet.

And it really sucks that Dipo got hurt. I hate when stars get hurt. It sucks for the game.

Yeah ..I cheer for Indy and the Broklynettes in the East to do well. Tough to see a any player get hurt and especially one so integral to the success of their team such as Olidipo is to Indy.

I guess we find out later today exactly what it is.

Sent to me today from someone I consider to be trustworthy as far as sources go:

“He (Oladipo) needs months to recover without ruining his knee cap forever ... slow stretching, gradual rebuilding. If he wants to (come back 100%) he’ll sit out the rest of the season.”#Pacers

back in December. Don't be a hero

[The Claw Reborn]

Nurse has to improve his After Time Outs plays, because what I noticed his success in that department is negative

[The Claw Reborn]

I cannot believed after the fact that Delon who had a very good third quarter didn’t get a sniff of the fourth. What I saw was an inefficient low BBIQ back up midget point guard playing because this coach for some fucking reason is so blindly impressed of the one year wonder.

Finally Kawhi is playing this Friday, having to watch Van Vleet with the starters logging 30 plus minutes is torture. 37 minutes to be exact, Jesus christ

Trade the player and his 8 million so at least Nurse is force to play Norm, Delon and even Miles so all three can get some more burn.

At worst its season ending, at best he'll be back in time for the Playoffs. Either way its a terrible injury.

I think his seasons done anyway. if in indy I'm not rushing my franchise corner stone back from a knee injury when he has already had problems with earlier in the year. heck porzingis isn't even back playing yet and he got injured around this time last year. this could very well be as bad as his.

[G__Deane]

Dipo knew right away too. Didn't look to be in as much pain as shock

[A.I]

didn't look good at all... Scott macula knew it was serious the second it happened and jumped up from bench so that's not a good sign. I would assume season ended he also missed earlier this year with knee problems. looked like he went to take a step and his whole leg just gave out and he fell into Siakam. suck man I like dipo and this indy team

I wasn't able to watch the game. That injury to Oladipo doesn't sound great, any updates on how bad it is? People saying that he'll be out until next season, but also that it could really screw up your career

Your 2019 mvp..bucks are still good without Giannis..Houston would be 14th just ahead of phoenix without this guy

I remember Kobe having a season like that (man I hate Kobe lol) where he got 30, 40, 50 every night. Just unconscious
