GT: Raptors vs. Spurs 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Fri Apr 1, 2016 1:08 pm

When: 6:30 PM MT Mar. 2nd 2016
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio TX

Sounds like everyones going to play in this one and it'll be a good test for us. The Raptors have been solid so far this year and if we want to win this one we're going to have to contain their backcourt and exploit their weak frontcourt on the other end. We'll need big games from Kawhi and LMA to win this one.

Go Spurs!!

I'm worried because the general rule this season has been everytime the Warriors lose we lose also....

The only two undefeated home teams losing on back to back nights? That just seems unlikely. But here's to the Raptors proving me wrong! :-)

Toronto is about to trot out the worst starting lineup ever so I expect to see you guys winning by 20 at the end of 1 lol.
Joseph, Powell, Johnson, scola, valanciunas

I think it's a toss up between Powell and scola who the best shooter is, and none of them had a 3 in their game before this year haha.

We did what we had to do.

When was the last time two Spurs had 30+ in the same game before Kawhi and Aldridge?

A win is a win but we have a real problem with lazy, ill-disciplined passes that become turnovers. It's amazing our TO's are so low given we seem to throw passes to the other team so often.

Also amazing we have a franchise record for most wins given we start 4vs5 most nights. Unless Green lights it up come playoff time he will be gone next year.

LMA and Kawhi were really the only ones that showed up for this one, but in the end they were all we needed.

They might be denying it but it sure looks like Pop is saying ""I think you're gonna get to the Finals. I swear to God. No bulls***."

Haha!

You know it's quite possible. They've been awful in the playoffs the last couple years and I think that's why people are hesitant to hook their wagons to them, but based on the regular season they have best shot at taking down the Cav's.
