Game #66: Toronto Raptors 132 - New York Knicks 106

[007]

Casually dropping 132 points on a Sunday afternoon

[GOLDBLUM]

No 28-0 run for the Knicks today.

(In this metaphor, the Knicks are a mahogany 90's desk.)

Casually dropping 132 points on a Sunday afternoon

What’s funny is that it really did feel casual

This is how you win games. It's not about one guy scoring points, it's about working together.... not one guy had 20 and yet we still blew them out. That's scary.

I remember watching Wisconsin like 3 years ago and talking to my brother about how much I wanted the Raps to draft Nigel Hayes, and it just seems crazy that today he’s playing for us. He’s a totally different player now than he was then though.

Is he different in a good way or bad way?

[JawsGT]

yeah, 132 pts scored and no one over 17pts, 7 guys in double digits and demar wasn't even one of them. Pascal was awesome in this one.

[tDotted]

Lowry/DeRozan didn't even play average this game and they still almost put up 140 points lol

He wasn’t a shooter back then. More of a tweener who could post up small guys and blow by bigger guys. Mostly operated in the paint and midrange and was a great passer. He was the kind of big guy you could run your offence through. Now he seems to have accepted that he’ll be a spot up shooter in the NBA.

Not that I want to see this but I feel like against some teams Casey could rest Kyle and Demar and still win. On the telecast they had a graphic about how Raptors have done against the top teams. Swept Portland, swept Houston, split with Boston, beat Cleveland and two very close losses to Golden State. I'm not sure how anyone could not see the Raptors as a legit contender.

Oh okay. Well it's good to know that he can pass and blow by guys if they run at him. So he's a 4?

I would say exclusively a small ball 4 unless he’s going up against a bigger 3. 10 years ago he wouldn’t have a position in the NBA, but he’s coming into the league at the right time. We’ll have to see if he can blow by NBA level athletes, it’s a lot different in college.

Very true.

Raps with best point differential in the nba after this game

[KeonClark]

This raptor teams peak keeps improving. Last week we had the best raptor team of all time. This week the team is better. Soak it in guys, this is a ride.

It was done without OG the backbone of the first unit defender. It would be great if he comes back sooner could use to learn more of successfully scoring in the paint + getting back on track with his 3 before the playoffs.
