Game 55: Raps @ 76ers

[rocwell]

Kyle is good to go

[G__Deane]

Game Day!
Kyle won't play
JV doubtful but soon
Need a role player besides Pascal to step up; Myles, Norm, Green?

Last time the Beast from the East played Philly (18pts in the 4th):

The haters will say that. The guy is a future HOFer.

Yeah, I'm not a Bosh fan, but you cant hate on the fact he wanted to win. He found it be 3rd fiddle on a champion than top dog on a mediocre team and I respect that. If he stayed he would have been LaMarcus Aldridge

[bertarapsfan]

OK can we not forget that he quit. He actually didn't try in games. At least Bosh tried 100% of the time he was on the court. I'm ok with VC in the rafters, but not the first jersey. First jersey goes to the guy who wins a championship.

that's why I said either him or demar or kyle. I'd perfer if Vince wasn't the first either but we're gonna have to wait a long time if that's the case. I just believe the franchise will retire 15 before kyle or demar have a chance to retire. bosh can go up after 7 and 10 are up their

[Truth Teller]

a guy who won 2 rings as a big piece absolutely deserves to have jersey retired. if we even retire him is the real question. I would be more open to it if we already had a jersey in the rafters. respect to Chris bosh but he shouldn't be the first jersey in the rafters. should be either Vince demar kyle or kawhi after he leads us to a ring

Will always be known as the 3rd man in Miami. 10-15 years from now people will be asking " yo remember how good were the Heat?! With 'Bron & Wade and that tall skinny Centre"

I wonder how Joel would do if the Chuck Wagon was still around
A CatD9 couldn't back down Hayes.

Suppose Joel would just leak back to the perimeter and bomb away...

Hayes was like a 5'2 center tho

big cat is our best embid defender if JV doesn't play

[Demographic Shift]

Boucher will bully Embiid

[GLF]

If both Kyle and JV don't play this is a loss. Even if Kyle pushes to play and we still don't have JV it's a loss. We can't handle Philly without JV. We saw it the last time we played them

[bertarapsfan]

Yeah that first jersey matters too. It sort of sets the bar. But I could still see us honouring Bosh. Lowry/DeMar still have plenty of years before they leave the game. Vince is a special case because of how he left us. How he left left a scar in many raptor's fans hearts.

I mean do the Spurs retire Kawhi's number now? Even though he helped them win a chip and got a FMVP?

naah no way kawhi number get retired in SA. They have the benefit of having a storied franchise already with HOF players already in the ceiling. We dont have that luxury. If we did we would be hanging bosh's jersey. The first one is really gonna be important and that why i prefer it to be lowry or demar but its gonna be a long wait. I think vince may end up being the 1st retired but it would sting a little less to the old school die hard fans in Kloe or Demar were already up their.

Only 3 Raptors deserves to have their jersey retired. Vince, DeRozan and Lowry. Four if Kawhi re-signs.
