drake has to be careful and watch what he says, these aren’t rappers he’s dealing with .. these are athletes. he’s got green and klay chirping, he’s not getting in their head he’s just pissing them off.

you don’t talk crap to draymond green, the raptors aren’t going to have drakes back if green gives him the 1-2.

That’s a good pick. I can’t think of anyone else.

SMH still feel we could have beaten SAS if Ewing was healthy. Finally had some perimeter guys we could somewhat count on.


Enough size to bother Duncan and then stick Camby on Drob. We had an outside shot...

At the end of the day you need dynamic guards. Ask Toronto. Kyrie Irving is valuable.

Draymond is gonna punch the dude who practically owns the city of Toronto, has money for security, goons, etc.? Maybe outside of Canada, but even Draymond aint that stupid.

I actually love what Drake is doing, not even a fan of his but I love it for the environment it creates in Toronto. This is what homecourt advantage is all about.

Yeah sure if it's justified and warranted. That wouldn't be a time or a place or the right situation for anything like that to take place.

All this does is make me miss the days when the Knicks were good and teams had to come to MSG and really battle, not just the team but the entire city and fans

Yea Drake is a GSW fan too, maybe more of a KD & Steph fan since he has tattoos of them on his arm.

They’re just talking shyt like friends would.

He can move anywhere but here. Nothing would remind me more of an Amare type move than that.

pascal was the best player in nba history after game 1, now he sucks, let's see how the narrative on him changes after game 3 :lol:


I was ready to trade RJ for him, now I would never ;)

The world is made up of knee jerk reactions. I do like Pascal a lot but I don't think his ceiling is super high. He's already very good but he's not explosive or super fast. Can do a lot well and has good court awareness.

I think Knox can reach his level.
