Raptors sans Kawhi really beating up on the Lakers. Up 27 on the second qtr.

Serge Ibaka with the newfound surge in his career. Another 30 point performance shooting 14-15 from the field.

He's discovered the fountain of youth

So he's now... Surge Ibaka?

I wonder how many Houston wins of their next 6 games. They haven't really beat a good team, and lost badly to the Clippers twice. http://www.espn.com/nba/team/schedule/_/name/hou

Steph so far is making almost 6 3s a game on 50% efficiency

I viewed Sexton as a bit of a Fox clone so I wasn't a fan of him during the pre-draft process but seeing how Fox has begun to thrive, perhaps Cavs fan need to give him a bit of time.

I do feel bad for the guy, especially since the vets who should be showing him the way are talking publicly about how inept he is. He's getting zero support and Dudley is right to stand up for him

First man to hit 50/50/90?

Toronto killing good teams. First killed the Lakers in LA, and now beating Utah in Utah by 25. I feel pretty good about how tough we played them.

You think the Lakers are a good team?

I think they are a pretty good team with some talent and obviously a super talent. LeBron's teams have started out slow the last year or two and there is obviously some adjustment time. They lost to Portland, Houston and San Antonio in OT to start the season, and then SA again in another close one and just won in Portland, so their only loss you might call bad is a close one to Minnesota, but they obviously have some talent too.

I think they are a borderline playoff team but probably make it in a tough western conference.

Toronto is just so friggin deep. I watched the Tor/LA game and they were straight up wrecking LA and that's even during stretches with guys like FVV, Lowry, Kawhi (rest) and JV sitting. I'm really surprised they look like they haven't skipped a beat even with the addition of a major player in Kawhi and with their assistant coach Nurse taking over as HC

I thought last season was their best chance at finally making the Finals but now it looks like they are right up there with the C's as favourites. I'm super impressed and very happy for Raptors fans

Evan Turner....

Sabonis KILLED Embid. RIP!

The Kings are interesting. I decided to tune in here just to see how they battle Toronto. Now they have a better record than us, but 3 of their wins came against the Hawks, Magic and the dysfunctional Wizards. And the other three were not exactly world beaters, beating Miami, Memphis and the Thunder.

Of course they have played better but I don't know that they faced injuries to some of their best players (unless you consider Bogdan one of them). They also have a legit PG and a Bjelica at PF backed up by #2 pick Bagley.

How to explain DeAndre Jordan freethrow procent this season. Normally its between 40-50% when now its 84%. 11 games is already enough to compare that different. Better than Doncic.

edit. more talking there viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1762355

Brooklyn just beat Denver in Denver, so that loss doesn't seem as bad. Brooklyn is a lot better than people think.

They honestly look really bad IMO. But, they remind me of our 2013-14 team where we overachieved because our guys hustled, played with heart, and cared for each other.

Fox is the engine and huge reason for the turn around honestly. Most of those games are games we would have lost last season
