WE THE NORTH

[99TERRANCE99]

They gave up way to much to get Gasol as he is declining and 34 not the deal I would have done but they keep winning 43-16 looking good ,I hope Gasol gets his game going .Sidenote Pascal Siakam is beasting 44 points

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Nice to see demar get lots of love back in the six but even better the raps pulled out the 120-117 so 44-16 on the season

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Twice now the magic smoked us not impressed with the consistency of this team or coaching

 

[abyk]

I just hope the raptors give Marc Gasol more minutes and integrate him into our offense quickly before the playoffs start..

 

[99TERRANCE99]

You are right gasol needs minutes ...he was pretty solid in the thrashing they gave boston 118-95 and took all starters off floor for last 4 mins 45-17

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Back and forth battle with the blazers but the raps on Leonard’s 2 with 1.5 seconds left win again ...nice

 

[abyk]

Last night's game winner was great. It's nice to have a player like Kawhi that can hit game winners unlike last year...

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Yes agreed nice seeing Leonard hit that ,another good win last night they smacked around the pelicans good ,would be cool to see them get 60 wins

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Smoked the heat without Leonard in their gym love it ,the drive for 60 wins is still alive ,time to beat up on the cavs next =)

 

[ianleel]

I think the rapturs will win tonight

 

[99TERRANCE99]

They are doing a good job overall with all the nonstop injuries 51 wins

 

[puzzlefish]

What happened on Friday? Lost a good bet on that and a dominant lead for most of the game.

 

[puzzlefish]

I see Nurse didn't care too much and decided to let a bunch of bench players on while OKC went for the win. Sounds about right?

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Bad habits are creeping into this team ,coach is making suspect player time moves ,hope the chemistry is coming together because they sure are not there right now

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Roasted the knicks by 25 points for the 53rd win of the season ,on to the bulls ,let’s see the same kind of win

 

[FOS1300]

Just finished watching the 1st game of the Raptors/Magic game. Hopefully they can come back strong to tie up the series.

 

[the lab man]

Raptors were bad tonight in the loss. Lowry could not hit anything, and I wondered sometimes on what lineups nick nurse played tonight.Kudos to the magic who forced the game.

 

[wpilson70]

Reading through the thread.

Wow. Just. Wow. AD for two scrubs and a couple of picks?

I guess Orlando is going to play, huh? Not going to lie down and just take it?

Said it ALL SEASON LONG. Now is the time to prove you’re legit. Now is the time to earn the respect that the team and fanbase has been whining for.

Not like the Raptors ever win the first game of the playoffs, but wow. Some effort. Did Lowry know what time tip off was?

Orlando in 7, at a price. Let’s go Magic

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Raps will bounce back that was harsh to watch ,if we play with pace we roll them ,Kyle walking everything up the floor and garbage shooting better be over

 

[99TERRANCE99]

Taking control against the magic 2-1 raps now

And people were talking about nurse for coach of the year....or at least considering him...puhlease, not even in the same league as coach bud

 

[99TERRANCE99]

He is a rookie nba coach pretty good job overall especially with all the injuries ....taking control 3-1 after the 22 point blowout

Do you really think Nurse has had that much of an impact? I mean like with the Bucks you can see how coach Bud has opened up the offense and defense with the team.

Jason Kidd held the bucks back, as proven this year. Terrible defense last year, and last in rebounding, stagnant offense.

Look at coach bud doing his thang. The bucks only added Lopez in the offseason, and Illyasova. My point, this is pretty much the same team as last year, besides Lopez, Coach Bud deserves C.O.Y

Nurse has done a fine job, I just don't think he is on that elite coach level like, Poppovich, Coach Bud... I think Brad Stevens is over rated, but he is ok, Spoelstra..

Nurse is like in the 2nd tier of good coaches, not great.




My point was I seen a lot of raptor fans touting Nurse as deserving of the award earlier in the year, and I know its just an award who cares, but was kinda surprised to see him criticized here.

I haven't seen really any criticism of coach bud.
Btw, I don't count anything on twitter as valid, its twitter, aka its crap

I think we will see the bucks vs Craptors in ECF, so I think coaching will be huge in that series. After coach Bud exposes the over rated Brad Stevens, he will take care of Nurse.

Good luck tho, not really

 

[Vilgeoforc]

Philadelphia will be an interesting series.

 

[99TERRANCE99]

On to the next series against philly 4-1 nice blowout win by raps starters rested most of the 4th quarter up by 30 most of the way tonight
