Nets @ Raps

[c-troop]

Raptors have the most wins in the league

lol for 9 minutes

[sanyo]

good win

this is not the same brooklyn team of the past, they remind me of the raps team that went on that crazy run after the lowry trade was cancelled off... they are definitely a name you cant underestimate anymore, russell is a legit star now...

Kawhi Leonard hits a game-winner for the Raptors. Marc Gasol is on the team. Jeremy Lin is signing later this week. What world is this?

[Zainab]

Kawhi Leonard sits. Injuries. Players going in and out. New head coach.

The Toronto Raptors are 42-16.

The 3 point defence was the only real bad I could think of but it was SO bad. Oh and not starting and finishing the game with Gasol. The bad shooting is just who we are at this point so I won't bother bringing that up.

Strange thing is that we ran them off the 3-pt line last time in Brooklyn. What was the gameplan tonight, or maybe the players just didn't feel like following it?

Raptors have the most wins in the league

The most close wins too I bet. That has to stop (the closeness not the wins lol)
Looking at that as glass half empty, it's great preparation for the post season

I mean, Trump was pictured eating KFC with a fork and knife... And still won presidency. So, the World is pretty crazy

It really feels worse than 42-16

Raps interested in morris... hmm wonder if he will be a good fit... mccaw played well too today.

3 pt coverage was OK for some but they made some circus threes, especially late. Others Raps teams that would have been back greating and resulted in a loss

Gasol didn't finish the game cause he had played like 12 mins straight. he will start post all star I'm sure of it. and this is not a #fakewin Brooklyn a good team with impressive victory under their belt. Gasol looked great in the 2nd half when Lin joins the team I believe we going to be gushing over the potential like we were the first 20 games of the season

[G__Deane]

They didn’t trade for Gasol to bring him off the bench. They are easing him in and they get an extra full week basically with the all star break. He will be starting and finishing games cause the front office will make sure he is.

This.
Masai traded for Gasol to start not to shore up the bench

[Zainab]

Kawhi just now:

“The last one, I got a good look and it went in and out.

But this one, that look was pretty tough tonight, and I banked it in.

But you know that’s how basketball works.” #WeTheNorth #Raptors pic.twitter.com/Afh2TomN8i

Let's not lose perspective, without Marc the bench could have been why we lost this game.

The bench needs him, the starter tho sluggish and middling of late are stacked.

When he plays with them great.

[Seb Scarborough]

Are u talking 12” sandwiches.. not since I heard Gerard was a child molester

[Mitchell Duong]

The 3 pointer helps erase the gaps, and it almost cancelled out a surprisingly decent Raptors offensive game. 56% fg and 31 assists.

I felt we were in a malaise until Gasol in the 3rd. He seemed to bring that new enthusiasm onto the court and it sparked the team. Starters seemed sparked by it as well, save for that 8-0 run they gave up at the end.

[Zainab]

Raptors head coach Nick Nurse asked if Kawhi called ‘bank’ on his game-winner.

Nurse: “he said he called game.”

Full respect to what Serge Ibaka has done all season for the Raptors, but Marc really is just too perfect a fit with the Raptors' other starters not to be the starter.

This game taught me 5 things, Gasol is amazing, Gasol NEEDS to start, Gasol MUST end games, McCaw is for real and Gasol is our answer to zone defences. Give it to him in the high post against a zone defence and it's over. Give to him the high post all the time against any defence and its over to be honest.
