Players are just as loyal to fans, as fans are to the players.

When the Raptors are winning the fans are gushing over Lou's offensive spark off the bench / "swag" & Raptor players are saying how amazing the Raptors fanbase is compared to others in the NBA.

Once the Raptors are losing suddenly Lou's a useless one-dimensional chucker to the fans, & to the players fans are just some fat losers who shouldn't be able to criticize them.

That's human nature. Both sides are hypocrites and are like rabid dogs that can only react to what is currently in front of their nose.

If one sent a comment saying great game or how it's going, they are not going to respond either.

Why do people feel the need to troll our own players? I don't get it.

He's right. These kids are absolute morons. If you're going to come at someone with baseless attacks, at least be sure of your ability to properly use the english language.

That, and there is no "WE". "WE" are no part of the team. "WE" have no role aside from cheering and support. I understand it, but I still dislike when people say "WE" when referring to their team of preference.

You're 100% accurate.

Stop with the "WE". It's ridiculous.

players should suck it up and ignore the trolls and expend their energy playing better instead of responding to the negativity and saying things back that make them look like a bunch of overpaid narcissistic out of touch pricks.

These fans are pathetic trolls. They make me sick. Nobodies taking shots at pro-atheletes on social media.

You KNOW that these kids wouldn't utter a negative word to any of these men face-to-face.

Let me be clear internet trolls need to find something better to do with their lives I'll never understand why they have the urge to act like this but in the end they're just trolls and you're the one with your real name on the line and your responses make them feel validated.

There's nothing "cave-man" about it. It's a simple truth : The internet provides spineless losers with a platform by which to antagonize.

Did I promote violence or even suggest it as a legitimate alternative to the problem? No.

I stated a fact. A basic, irrefutable fact.

I do think that he should be our 6th man as a PF/C tho.. Hes an ideal big there. We can get an upgrade on O there, someone like Millsap, but Amir is the guy u want of the bench.

Amir has not looked like his old self in a while. Last week for instance he was the worst plus minus player in the NBA at minus 44 (Check the power rankings).

Patterson is under contract and does a great job off the bench, there's no point in throwing 5-6 million at someone whose gonna end up playing 20 minutes/night. I think the team should acquire a starting PF and use whats leftover to get a backup C.


You do realize that +/- stats in basketball are rather meaningless, right? There are five guys on the floor at the same time and they are not all equally responsible for what happens. Is it really Amir's fault he gets to play with Vasquez and Lou a whole lot? Often both of them at the same time!

It's because they date the twin sisters. They both took a twin out for their birthday to the same place. Lou and Amir are probably tight now.

Love how some kids act like they know whats happening at the end of the season.

Lmao
On Gerald Henderson vs Derozan:
"Yes. Hendo is quite a bit better than DeMar.
So yes, I do believe he's currently the better player and do project that will continue to be in the future. I would also take Turner over DD."
