GT: Nets Vs Raptors- 7:30 12/2

Stone · Post #1 » by **Stone** » Thu Dec 1, 2022 9:30 pm

We are evenly matched with the Raptors record wise. With the Raps in 7th place and us in 8th. We defeated the Raps in our first two meetings. So a win would be the tiebreaker in the series with our division rivals. We meet up with them again on 12/16 in Toronto.

Any injury updates? Please add them. I don't see anything TJ Warren, I thought he was projected for this game?

Little Vince flashback for the Raptor fans lurking.......Oh yes

Raps seem to be at full force now with Siakam and Scottie Barnes coming back so we're going to have to bring it. Kyrie needs to step it up with Ben out.

Shame to see both Ben and Yuta are out. I am looking forward to seeing TJ on the court again, with no real expectations as we've all witnessed Ben, Seth and Joe go through very slow starts after missing that amount of time.

Gameplan should be simple, value possessions and drag the Raptors into the trenches where they have no shot at keeping up with KD/Kyrie in a halfcourt game. The key is to keep them out of transition and away from the offensive boards, as they're the worst half court offense in the league. Hell I think TJ Warren might be a better iso scorer than anyone on their roster.

Good start so far.

Joe Harris is back

Straight up punking them, don't give them easy baskets and they got no hope keeping up with us.

Joe-E-3 showing signs he's back

Trashtors showing their true colors. Let's them bums come over and talk about their trash.

If some of you watched what shorthanded NOP did to them :lol:

Ok TJ

TJ Warren from the rip.

We look nasty with this rotation and this is without Ben and Yuta. Harris rounding into form is huge

Imagine not wanting to give up Scottie "role player" Barnes for KD.

Delusional **** but we gotta Thank them for it

Smart time out Jacque, to set a play and break the Raps momentum

Sumner just have to be rotation guy as a back up. Good things happen when he leads 2nd unit.

TJ

just wow

MrDollarBills · Post #14 » by **MrDollarBills** » Sat Dec 3, 2022 1:09 am

Sumner is such a good change of pace guard

Big minutes from Sumner, TJ looking pretty good given he hasn't played for 2 years.

Scottie Barnes is a 4th option role player, can't believe he was taken seriously as a candidate in KD trade talks. Couldn't then can't now. Raptors board banned me over it but they can see the proof in the game.

MrDollarBills · Post #16 » by **MrDollarBills** » Sat Dec 3, 2022 1:11 am

Vaughn needs to let KD get some rest this next quarter

One of the biggest whiffs Masai did. Barnes will never reach KD level, not many can and will.

That quarter reminded us that we are capable of doing what we did in 20-21, a historic offensive barage. Can the team keep it up? Remains to be seen but it looks good so far.

Irving is doing what he needs to with the 2nd unit

God damn, TJ already showing he can be that missing piece logging only 5 min WTF
