Went kind of dark there after game 2.. really wasn't feeling optimistic about game 3. Felt like I was watching game 7 against Philly all over again....

[planetmars]

Us hard core fans fell in love with Kawhi basically on day 1. The rest of Toronto fell in love with him after game 7. He's fully embraced now. ...

I feel like going streaking.. how about 4 in a row starting tonight!...

[planetmars]

Masai should have hired a coach after snagging Kawhi. I don't mind Nurse but perhaps Messina would have been the smarter choice. Who knows though.....

[planetmars]

It's funny because I always thought Fred would be stable no matter the situation he was in.. but I really think the Orlando series got the best of him...

[planetmars]

So who's got game 2? From DanH's stats:

...

Ultimately it was Kawhi that looked the most tired (maybe Gasol, but he's not really a guy we go to on offense anyway). And that's understandable....

[planetmars]

Yeah he can.. don't you remember the Magic games where the Raps were blowing them out.. Lin comes in and gives the other bench like 10 points. Lin...

[planetmars]

But those were desperate times.. Game 1 is not desperate. If we're down 0-2 than I can see some changes like that. Not game 1....

[planetmars]

Which three point guards do you mean? We only have 2 on our roster. I mean we're stuck with Fred since we gave up Delon in the Gasol trade... Lin...

[planetmars]

Fun game even though we lost.. You can see Kawhi being dog tired out there.. wasn't really fighting to get the ball.. careless turnovers. Despite scoring...

I'd say that he can be a better shooter than Bledsoe. But he can struggle.

Lowry's shooting 28.1% from 3 this post season (12 games, 5.3...

[planetmars]

That's a tough one.... but probably not. The asking price for AD will be high with a lot of teams in the hunt. Even if the Raptors dealt for him we'd...

Rob drafted Araujo and traded Vince.. but he was still a part of our Raptor family. RIP

[planetmars]

You guys are under rating Middleton. Siakam is not better than him.

My ranking would be (of just the starters, so no Ibaka/Brogdon here):...

[planetmars]

Ingram has those blood clot issues.. so could be a risk. Kuzma and #4 (so basically not RJ) I guess are the best assets the Lakers have. Also is...

[planetmars]

Or even 2018 Lowry. I wish we had Kawhi last year.. we'd definitely get by the Cavs if we did....

[planetmars]

From the couple of games I saw of RJ.. he seems to be a cross between Rudy Gay and Tobias Harris. So a pseudo all-star wing. He needs a better shot....
