Game #40 Raptors @ Spurs

[sanyo]

If they get blown out tonight, I will never be excited for or look forward to another big game again...

True... tho Im still looking forward to Demar back in Toronto lol.

Also, why is Kawhi not guarding DeRozan????

Gotta guard that toughie Forbes.

Rip off an 8-2 run to start the 3rd quarter and then get it down under 10 entering the 4th. Still doable.

Where was this in the playoffs against LeBron?

Toronto manages to cut a deficit that was as big as 26 early in the second quarter down to 16 at halftime. DeMar DeRozan leads all scorers with 19 points to go with 10 rebounds and five assists. Kawhi Leonard and Norm Powell each have 11 to lead the Raptors.

This is a Regular Season game half way mark of the season

why doesnt jack armstrong do sportsnet games? Man Leo is such a fucking bore to listen too, hes not meant to be a colour guy.

1st time Demar has had a double double in the 1st half ever.

We got it down to 16 but we couldn't get any stops. Unless we figure out the Lamarcus situation it's over. I know if we just put Kawhi on Demar instead of Green that would at least slow him down a bit but we have no one to stop Lamarcus. And if we have to double team him it's over. They have way too good of shooters.

Shaq is so stupid, he's 2nd behind Paul Pierce.

That's what I'm not getting at all. Danny is a good defender but no where close to good enough

Kenny Smith giving props to our Raptors

The blowout in the first half means nothing

He understands what matters most

Also, why is Kawhi not guarding DeRozan????

Likely to keep his fouls low and keep him in it down the stretch.... they can switch him up in the 4th if the raps can keep it close, then if they do, they neutralize DD.... however, that also means you don't have him helping as much, often you put a stopper like him on a weaker guy so he can help elsewhere.... as usual though, toronto cant keep anything out of the paint, and they are terrible double teaming the post.

[GLF]

I’m really happy that Norm is back in a groove

Only positive.

[golden]

Huh? He did all kinds of yelling from the sidelines and never got respect. He just refused to complain about the refs on-camera after the game.

Casey rarely took techs and tbh, he just doesn't have an intimidating personality when he gets pissed off. Casey getting mad at you feels like your favorite uncle or something.

Barkley thinks its gonna be a blowout lol

Pascal drawing to many fouls on DD id give OG a chance if they share the court.
