Philly vs Toronto and I'd take Philly right now?


Let's not get carried away.

I want the Raps to get off to a slow start so that they blow this thing up sooner rather than later. This is an overpaid, 500 team at best with only 1 good young player on the roster. Hopefully by Xmas they actually are worse than Philly.

There isn't one. You can start one yourself if you feel there should be.
There are a few NBA threads in the Non-BB Global folder.

The Raptors are an infuriating franchise. They are terrible. What could Ujiri possibly be evaluating?

Better trade packages.

I agree that's what we're doing, but that's so dumb.

If we traded Gay and told Amir not to play defence, we wouldn't win 20 games. Our 2014 pick holds incredibly more value than Gay, whose only value is as an expiring.

Updated OP with the Official 13-14 Toronto Raptors roster.

I'm still hopeful for the season, keep in mind we are 3 games in. There has been no semblance of offense with this team, and its starting to look like Rudy Gay is doing his best Andrea Bargnani impression knowing he's likely to get traded this season. Landry Fields and Tyler Hansborough are looking good off the bench, and if Coach Casey can start getting his players to start running some plays, then this Roster could still sneak into 6-7th place. Basketball is a game and season of runs and Raptors have potential to go on a run this season if everything clicks.

So, I found myself watching the last quarter of the Raptor game tonight. Boy, was I completely not surprised at what transpired.

Hey... let's band together and lose the game

1. More than 2 minutes, Howard has missed his last 4 (or 6?) free throws. Let's allow Harden drive the lane for a layup instead.
2. 34 seconds left. Let's not shoot early for a 2-for-1 situation. Let's dribble the ball around until the shot clock runs out and jack up the longest 2-pt jump-shot we can.
3. Screw up a 3 on 1 fast break (but get bailed out with a foul call scrambling for the ball.)
4. Rockets 6 for 22 from 3. Let's leave Lin (3 of 5) open for a 3.
5. Quote from the CSN commentators, "If there is 1 guy on the Raptors that wants to win, it's Kyle Lowry." (after Lowry hit 2 3's back to back)
6. Foul out while just standing there (Lowry, as Beverly jumps into him on a rebound.)

Aaaaaand, I fell asleep and woke up to see they did indeed lose. Awesome. Wiggins or bust!

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Gay and DeRozan shot 17-62. The Raptors had 10 assists on 114 FGA. DeRozan got blocked as many times (6) as he made a field goal.

That team is watchable.

The team that won tonight was watchable. Tonight.

Next game, they might be back to their old tricks

Lol. Playing tonight against the Spurs. I have said it all along, they are a legitimate playoff team in this years weak Eastern Conference. Rudy Gay really messed with team chemistry.
