I just hope that The sum of the Raptors player’s BBIQ will trump Nurse’s inexperience during the playoffs. I think that has been true so far in the regular season especially with the addition of Marc and Lin.
Serge will be ok as soon as he develops a good rhythm coming off the bench. He just had a bad shooting night from his sweet spots (18 feet in).
I think Norm is comfortable when he gets a set number of minutes. But when it fluctuates thats when he stuggles because he forces things and not let the game come to him. He will respond in the playoffs.
Bucks is too good. However, They havent been tested as a group when it matters. As we all know, the playoffs is a different kind of beast.

Nurse tried a couple different looks with the bench in the second half last night, it was Siakam + Ibaka + bench first, the a short stint of just Ibaka + bench, then he put Lowry in with them. That added up to the dry spell where Portland came back, but that was partly hot shooting on their part and the Raptors rimming out some open looks that they were otherwise making on the night, eg Siakam corner three.
Kawhi picked them up and dragged them out of the scoring drought. That's exactly the type of performance this team lacked years prior. A guy who will just impose himself o on the the game when needed and the other guys can't stop him."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

I remember the good old days when Lowry was always sour and ornery with management after DD was traded. Now hes loving his new team (supposedly he asked Lin to join us).Last edited by golden; Sat Mar 2, 2019, 10:46 AM.

NBA should have received the video of the attrocious ref calls last night. How do you word the results except try to say they didn't have a good look somehow and blew the call? I don't know if Masai can make enoiugh of a fuss for the NBA to finally tell the refs to give them at least fair calls or are potential (bad) TV playoff-finals ratings going to rule the day.

Well..a few things from last night.
Marc Gasol is pretty fucking good.
The three best teams in the NBA are the Warriors Raps and Bucks...
Nobody in the East wants to see their names beside the Raps or Bucks as a matchup.
Magic Johnson with his power move to get Anthony Davis and missing on it..has sewered the Lakers for this year. 3games back in the loss column with only 20 to play the Lakers are going to miss the dance this year. Ministerial responsibility. It’s on you Magic. The Lakers have money..but players and agents can smell a shit show a mile away.
Can’t wait for April.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

Like I love the new players, but the way some of you guys dump on Kyle and DD is pretty sad. These are/were our guys. They worked really hard to improve the fortunes of our franchise. They gave back to the community. What more do you want? It's not like Bargnani, who didn't give a damn about anything.
Just seems kind of shitty to me.
