PG: Dick wasn't enough for the Raptors, Knicks win with a Precious facial to top it off!

I had a moment of weakness after the Precious trade. I had that fever!! I was not willing to wait and see a damn thing! I didn't want Deuce out of the rotation but I wanted another player off the bench with him. Burks was not it!!

He exploded in his role. It took a few games but, you could see him getting better every time he played. Always loved his defense and didn't doubt he would get his 3 ball to respectable levels but, I wasn't sure he would ever get the ability to run the offense, get to the rim or have such a decent pull up mid range. I see a little Brunsonesque style to his footwork and those mid range shots during this transformation. Is it just me?

I remember it well. Felt like your calm big brother trying to tell you to calm the F down, give Deuce and Grimes a chance.

These stats are very reminiscent of when Thibs gave the starting nod to IQ down the stretch due to vet injuries.

Shame that OGs elbow going the way of Bernard King's knee

Philly choked. Nurse is an awful coach.

He was gifted prime Kawhi and injury luck against the warriors and somehow that turned into he's a brilliant coach that won a championship all by himself.

I brought into it, too. I actually wanted to give him a look last season.

I do like him, but I watched him more this year than the previous. I don't get a sense that he's in control. The D in the last 1:30 was awful. I also like Kelly, but I don't know if he should be taking the last shot against their best defender, let along 2 last shots.

Nurse seems good, I think he got overrated for the championship run without taking into context some of the circumstances that helped him along the way.

Man whatever happened to that Knicks lawsuit against the Raptors

TO are tanking cupcakes these days so big whoop, but nonetheless the goodies are:

DEUCE is a beast

Mitch is back

Hartenstein is all the way back and looks frigging incredible out there

Bogie is finding his way and could be a key for us

My Precious!

Shake Milton, the man, the legend

If Bogie can find his shot... don't know what happened to him because he was dangerous. But if he can get going - it adds another element to the 2nd unit.

Ochai Agbaji. Came from the Jazz at deadline along with Olynyk. Right hip contusion they say, x-rays negative . But yes scary, coach Darko said it was scary because he couldn't move at first.

The way he was screaming. I couldn’t look,

Same here I don't want to watch the replay. I still can't look at the Joe Theismann/LT play.

But I think he landed very hard on his right hip/butt cheek. Painful bone bruise but nothing torn or broken. Hopefully that's all

I thought for sure he broke or dislocated something. Was glad to hear “contusion” as the update in the broadcast.

Such a tough end of season for Toronto, who I believe we eliminated from postseason contention last night.

Yeah man. You talked me off the ledge. I knew I was wrong too but, that trade fever can blind a fella! I just wanted to win every game ever immediately!

His shooting seems good to me. I believe in his shooting. The problem is that he is worse than I imagined on defense, very slow, and a walking turnover. He kinda reminds me of final season Peja Stojakovic at age 33. He won a championship with Dallas in 2011 and was still a lights out shooter 42% from 3 his last season but they still had to completely bench him in the NBA finals because he was such a liability in other areas and then he retired. If we get far in the playoffs like 2nd round or conference finals I wouldn’t be surprised if Thibs has to shut Bojan down. Oh and at 34 Bojan is older than Peja was

RealMD wrong once again people was out here going ham against Thibs last night and calling him to get fired. Awful takes!

Melo ruining OG's career for his C's is some of his nastiest work.

Dude his elbow is just a little swollen from cortisone injections!!!!!

RealMD strikes again!!!!

BE BETTER GUAN0

Yeah... it looked more like a cortisone flare. If it had been something more serious, the MRI would have saw it

Wonder what it would take for Deuce to be the next Klay Thompson.

4 more inches.

traded away RJ, IQ, and Grimes only for Duece to emerge as our best young player!

Those are near All Star numbers. Huge props to the young man for all the hard work to improve his game. And yes Thibs deserves props as well.

It felt like the Raptors were measuring their Dick last night, and although Dick was massive in the beginning, it felt like playing Raptors were playing with Dick alone and they were left unsatisfied in the end.

Honestly, if the Raptors had two or three more Dicks, maybe they coulda kept things close.

This is so on brand

Last night's game thread was amazing

For real. A whole bag of Dicks would have cut the lead to 19.

Also, Bojan finally made me not look crazy for supporting the trade. At least for one night
