WE THE NORTH

[99TERRANCE99]

Congrats to dwayne casey getting to coach team lebron and another solid win vs the t wolves moving them to 34-15 ,young guys are really growing ,if there was a year to make a move to up this tea,s profile and chances to make the final this is it ...imagine adding a deandre jordan for afew picks and maybe sending a bebe ,van fleet the other way wow ,we could play any type of ball teams through at us even go further and get instant offence lou back to lead second unit as they could be done cheaply and add huge fire power when sometimes cj doesnt have it on that second unit

 

[99TERRANCE99]

First place with that loss by celtics niceeeee

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Casey looking ffor win 300 as coach 16 point lead after 3 in charlotte ,we in first and building ,will be an interesting cavs /celtics game after this one is done

 

[iveyfan]

These Raps are on fire! And still being disrespected by the US media.

Amazing job from them coming into the break and hope Casey has a fun weekend, as he deserves it.


The transformation is real and this is the deepest team in the NBA. I fell like our bench could make the playoffs

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Yep usa media same old story dd playing like he is even through a gravely ill dad which i can relate to with my mom ;( keep that first place and if bosh is medically cleared to play add him as the 12th man not vc

 

[Herkstwin]

No respect from US media. No problem, the media is not on the floor. Just beat the crap out of the opposition and to hell with the media.

Congrats to Dwayne Casey on his 300th win.


Yeah, let’s get Bosh but not Carter. We don’t need his attitude. Bosh may not be ready though.

 

[iveyfan]

Carter's attitude is fine now... he just wasn't happy with management at the time and who could blame him. Just look at who they got in return for him.

Honestly, as much as I like the Bosh angle, I don't know where he would fit.

He would presumably come off the bench and take either Siakam's or Poeltl's minutes, but that would disrupt the chemistry of that bench lineup imo.


I wish we picked up Belinelli. His 3 point shooting could have proven key in late game situations.

 

[masonman88]

Defense is way better than last year and the bench just keeps getting stronger! het they truly have a shot :damnmate:

Play pascal at the three he easily is fast enough with good foot speed ,bosh at pf amd then poetl at center

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Glad basketball is back we need to smack around the bucs and get the second half off to a good start

 

[klada152]

As a celtics fan hate to se raptors doing good . But they have been playing really good this year I think they are much better team then they were last year, however i expect them to choke in the playoffs as usual.

 

[Herkstwin]

Playoff Choke?

The organization has been working hard to build this team. Will they choke again? Who knows. All the players have more playoff experience this time around, so we might see a deeper run.

 

[klada152]

They are the best team in the east right now, cavs arent much better after this trade, celtics are overachieving so everybody is hyped , to me wizards are dark horse. But in playoffs almost every game is close and raptors have been awful in late game situations, every single time the game is on the line they iso Derozan he takes 37 pump fakes and shots a brick, would love to see Casey actually run play on last possession. This year may be their best chance to make the finals, would you call a failure everything else than the finals ?

 

[99TERRANCE99]

No a failure if they dint make the east finals rest is a bonus this team is right young

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Great win past night smahed them ,keep them raptors in first place ,best home record in the nba ,how sweet it is

 

[iveyfan]

I don't get the whole 'choke in the playoffs' narrative. The only two teams with more playoff wins than the Raptors in the last two years are the Cavs and the Warriors... that's it.

The Raptors just keep losing to LeBron. Lowry even shot 46% in last year's playoffs.

 

[iveyfan]

People are giving Boston and Houston a ton of respect and they haven't gotten anywhere in the playoffs either.

 

[nmate]

i don't think you're beating washington in the 2nd rd. let alone lebron.

 

[99TERRANCE99]

I hope we add a buyout vet here in a day or two either way we just keep winning and just missed an nba all time record for win margin in feb ,they can disrespect us in the usa based media we just do them on the court and will continue todo so

 

[QA77]

They do so bad in the playoffs because of Lebron and because their coach is not that great. He’s a good season coach, but for playoffs I wouldn’t put him that high.

 

[nmate]

i don't think you're beating washington in the 2nd rd. let alone lebron.

speaking of...tor @ was tonight. no john wall of course but still should be a gg.

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Washington is pretty good but we are better even against suspect reffing ,chalk up another w

 

[iveyfan]

And now we beat Houston and snap their 17 game win streak... let's see how the media spins this one now.

 

[99TERRANCE99]

get em

They will find a way or just say nothing about toronto as per usual we will just keep winning

 

[klada152]

no.1 in the east but could be playing cavs in the 2 nd round Looking foward to celtics raptors efc
