Game #49 Toronto Raptors 109 - Minnesota Timberwolves 104

Rough 1st half but the Raptors played well in the 2nd. Congrats Van Fleet. Way to go Raptors!

So how many fine games in a row for JV, not counting the stupidity in Minny. He is huge for the team right now. He has become a completely reliable offensive option and an above average defender.

Game shouldn't have been as close as it was. Hoping that the guys realize that we should scrap ISO's almost entirely.

[The Claw Reborn]

Cavs no choice now

Best thing about this game was we didn't go all Ride or Die offense in the last 5 minutes.

I hope the young basketball players are watching Van Vleet box out under the net

Sounds like Love is out 6-8 weeks. JV imo should get more push for that last all star spot. He's been that good for the Raps.

FVV should run the play while both Lowry and Derozan playing off the ball with Derozan cutting close to the rim and Lowry in the corner.

Ibaka and JV ready to pounce on the offensive board

Simple

That’s why we won IMO

[Zainab]

Lose to Minnesota Timberwolves without Jimmy Butler, but also beat Minnesota Timberwolves with Jimmy Butler. That's about as "Raptors basketball" as it gets.

[G__Deane]

Now Cavs are ready to give up that BKN pick

Most likely De Andre Jordan

Thompson, Shumpert, first round pick

Ugh

The problem with Love getting injured is the Cavs are even more pressured to make a big deal and them they get Love back to for the post season

ISO Ball is a killer

Derozan killed this team so many times because of dumb basketball, hope he realizes this moving forward.

It'll more than likely be two of Drummond, Simmons and Dragic who replace Wall and Love

If there was blood in water before....

Cavs and Wizards in crisis mode, Bucks, Heat and now the Pistons will all be looking to pounce
